Feature Request: Read current overlay text using existing Dahua API
Problem Not able to access the current overlay text for cameras.
Solution: Implement the "getConfig" API already enabled on Dahua Cameras Dahua APIs already support a call to get the existing overlay text.

Describe alternatives you've considered Could use a helper variable and store the current text in the overlay, updating the helper each time the overlay text is updated. However, the overlay text can be changed outside of home assistant, as well.
