The first thing I did was to run the web_Python example from the product and verify that I could control the HAT. I never link to a product that I have not personally used. The following are affiliate links to other parts I used in this project. Not only is this cheaper, but it reduces e-waste. I prefer to buy the Raspberry Pi 4, power adapter, micro SD cards, and heatsinks separately. If you're new to Raspberry Pi, the popular CanaKits are a great place to start. I’ll use this as an example of why a native Home Assistant integration for MotionEye is useful. In order to monitor various CNC cuts, I installed a Pan-Tilt HAT on my Raspberry Pi security camera. I’ll use a more complete example of actions below. It is one thing you might want to do from Home Assistant. Taking a snapshot is a “camera action” built-in to MotionEye. Likewise, when you press an action button on a camera, you should see a similar request made. When running Ingress, I have seen configuration URLs like ( screenshot of network inspector). In the above screenshot, the correct configuration URL would be. When in doubt, you can use the “Network Inspector” feature of your browser while using MotionEye: The configuration URL is everything before the /picture/x/current/? parts. I happen to run Kubernetes for all of my home automation, so I actually use the URL for one of my integrations. For example, you should be able to to curl. If you’re trying to connect to a MotionEye instance between Docker containers (or Kubernetes pods), you need to make sure that the Home Assistant instance can access the target URL. I have multiple Raspberry Pi Zero Ws, and I just add each as a separate integration to Home Assistant. Each camera entity will contain all of the MotionEye camera attributes.Ī Raspberry Pi with MotionEyeOS installed will have a web UI on port 80. Upon restart, Home Assistant will automatically create camera entities for each camera found at with the appropriate MotionEye camera name.

This means it is relatively easy to interact with MotionEye directly from the backend Python code executed by Home Assistant.

The process of signing requests with a password is quite simple. To create a native integration with Home Assistant, I reverse engineered the MotionEye API.

It requires loading the full MotionEye UI in an iframe. A pure Home Assistant UI would be preferable to me over something like a custom panel.īut what about the MotionEye community add-on? This is no different than a custom panel. This means the user is left with two potential “hubs” for their devices.

MotionEye actions cannot be triggered by Home Assistant.

Each camera must be configured and added individually.

This supports both still images and video streaming. The typical MotionEye configuration in Home Assistant uses the mjpeg camera. But any IP camera should work with MotionEye and the technique described here. I wanted to make this integration easier and more native to Home Assistant cameras. At the same time, we use Home Assistant as our hub for everything in the house. I find that a dedicated UI for a CCTV system is a nice way to control home security. For me, it was important to be able to use MotionEye to control the camera. I’ve been working on automating my garage workshop. You can find the Home Assistant MotionEye component on Github. I created a custom component with auto-discovery and actions for my pan tilt zoom security camera.

Home Assistant support for MotionEye cameras limited.
