Intercom function with cameras

Open philpownall opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Are you familiar with [https://github.com/codewithmichael/webrtc-intercom](WebRTC Intercom) ? I've loosely integrated this with Browser-Mod so that I can get an intercom function (audio and video) with Browser-Mod cameras in Home Assistant - I pop up a new window for the intercom (audio) from the CAM card. Two things occur to me - the author of the webRTC intercom runs a nodejs server to perform signalling using "A hidden communication IFrame"? - would this help with the node name registration in Browser Mod? Also, at present I'm running the signalling server on a separate machine: would it be possible to absorb this functionality into Browser Mod? This would seem to be an easy path to add two-way audio to the cameras...

I discovered WebRTC Intercom only this week. Not had chance to try it but I had imagined it in a similar way. Imagine all Browser Mod devices being available as an intercom.

I've just fitted Android Panels in our rooms, and this would be an excellent feature to add to them rather than rely on TTS. https://twitter.com/jamescallaghan/status/1611746777782423553

I use browser mod cameras every single day. Browser Mod is the best integration for HA. Fullstop .-

Can't imagine how useful could be such a functionality but is something I wanted for a long time.
