homebridge-dafang-mqtt-republish's Introduction

homebridge-dafang-mqtt-republish

npm npm verified-by-homebridge

This plugin handles MQTT messages from Dafang Hacks to allow control of many features from within HomeKit.

The "republish" in the name is because this started as a way to to republish motion MQTT messages for homebridge-camera-ffmpeg, but that plugin now can handle MQTT messages from Dafang Hacks directly when properly configured, so that functionality has been removed from this.

Installation

More detailed setup instructions available in the wiki.

  1. Install Homebridge using the official instructions.
  2. Install homebridge-camera-ffmpeg using sudo npm install -g homebridge-camera-ffmpeg --unsafe-perm.

homebridge-dafang-mqtt-republish's Issues

"Multiple cameras configured" error, can't figure out where they are!

I'm seeing this in my log, and camera MQTT events aren't working:

Each camera is defined exactly once in the dafangMqtt section and in the Camera-ffmpeg sections of config.json. I've tried deleting everything in the "accessories" directory, and there are no duplicates in the "persist" directory. Where else do I need to look?

Saving snapshots and recordings

I recently found this plugin after using the "Homebridge Dafang" plugin for a while now. It's been pretty reliable for me despite a few quirks. Unfortunately, it looks like it has been abandoned.

I did notice that in Homebridge Dafang, you can set where your snapshots and videos are saved to. For instance, I was saving my files to my icloud drive. In homebridge-dafang-mqtt-republish, there doesn't seem to be this setting and will save recordings onto the sdcard. I have no idea where snapshots are saved to.

Is there a setting where I can set where snapshots and recordings are saved to and I just missed it?

Thank you!

Xiaofang 1S not reporting any motion via notification

I've followed the same config as stated, enabled notifications for this device on my phone, but I'm not getting any notification for motion detection despite having it turned on via camera's IP site.

I also found this toggle refused to turn on. After I turned it on, it goes back off again after refreshing the page.

How to set up an MQTT broker or is this plugin a broker itself?

Hi all,

I am a complete newbie and I need help. My goal is to receive a notification when the camera detects a motion so I can use it for automations.

I installed the firmware for the Wyze V2 camer and I am able to access in using the local IP address. I set it up as explained here: https://github.com/sahilchaddha/homebridge-dafang/blob/master/Setup_MQTT.md. I also have this plugin installed and configured.

Do I need a separate MQTT broker install? I do have MQTT-Things installed but have no idea how to configure it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Feature request from homebridge-dafang

Hi, I'm having serious problems with rtsp service on Xiaomi Xiaofang 1S. Rtsp service suddenly gets killed, the only way to get it work again is rebooting or restarting rtsp process login at camera web UI.

It will be helpful if you implement some "Accessories" like it's done on homebridge-dafang plugin, like "remountSwitch", ""resetFFMPEG", "rtspSwitch" and "restartSwitch". With that implemented you can add an automation at Home app, so like every 3 hours, rtsp service is restarted.

It seems it's the only solution for rtsp service issue.

Thanks in advance

HomeKit not getting motion detection

Hi, I've installed this hack successfully for both Xiaofang and Dafang. However, despite troubleshooting and opening tickets to Dafang Hacks (not getting response), I'm still not getting any motion detection notification on the Home app.

I have enabled Motion -MQTT Message, enabled notification on the Home app. When I run mosquitto_sub -v -t '#' command I believe the motion was recognized by the camera.

I'm really stuck here, as these cameras were recently blocked by Xiaomi due to geographical restrictions :(
