sunoo / homebridge-smtp-motion Goto Github PK

I have set up this system with my HikVision camera's in association with Camera-ffmpeg and I've managed to get it to work flawlessly for all three of my camera's so I can use my Philips motion sensor somewhere else.

Thank you so much for this

Where do I start troubleshooting?

I've got homebridge-smtp-motion and homebridge-camera-ffmpeg both running. Here is my config:

            "log_emails": true,
            "platform": "smtpMotion"
        }

When the cameras detect motion, they send the email (homebridge shows the email received).

I set up the automation in Home to trigger motion (and also tried doorbell) if the motion sensor is toggled on. But the motion sensor never toggles on.

Am I missing a step somewhere?

Hi guys!

I'm running homebridge on a MacMini (late 2012) with only 2 Plugins:

1. homebridge-camera-ffmpeg (running fine since 2 years)
2. homebridge-smtp-motion (since some month)

All version are latest minus 1...

Since installing and using "smtp-motion" my 2 cameras are randomly "not reachable". I'll take a look into the logs, but I guess there was nothing to see. I suspect, when emails from the cams coming at "high" frequency... but I think that the frequency is not too high or like Spam. I would say after frequency raise up to round about 10 mails per minute.

edit: todays evening I'll deliver precise version numbers

Greetz!

After updating to Node 18.xx with Homebridge v1.5.1 (HAP v0.10.4), I get a crash on receipt of an email:
previously this was all working well:

Is there anyway to trigger the camera-ffmpeg doorbell notifications?

Hi,

First of all, thanks for creating this plugin, this is exactly what I'm looking for to convert Reolink motion notifications to Homekit motion events. Awesome!

I'm hoping you could clarify the following statement included in the Readme, though, which I found faily ambiguous:

"... currently only triggers alerts after uploading an image into the folder with the same name as your camera. The image is not currently stored anywhere."

Do I need to upload an image somewhere in order for the plugin to work or is this referring to how the image included in the e-mail content itself is handled by the plugin? What does it mean that the image is uploaded to a folder but is not stored anywhere?

I really appreciate if you can clarify the instructions in the Readme.
Thanks!

Thank you for providing this plugin.

I have 3 cameras connected to the NVR.
When the motion-triggered the NVR sends the message to all camera name.

What I want to do is reading the message content and extract the camera name from it then I can run the HTTP-based Automation.

Can you please help me with reading the message content.

Hello, I have a camera that does not allow the "+" character as a recipient email address. Could a configurable option in this plugin be added that allows me to define another character besides "+"?

For example, my camera does allow "_" to be used in the recipient email address, so if this plugin could replace "_" (or any other defined character) with " " that would be excellent!

Hi, I have 2 cameras from the same server - but you can only name 1 camera - how do I set it up for 2 cameras?

Thanks!

Hey,

I followed your guide and manage to get the following in the logs: [19/01/2021, 13:35:18] [smtpMotion] [Door] Email received.

Only issue is I don't get home app notifications. I'm sending the email to [email protected]

My config file is like this:

{
   "platform": "smtpMotion",
   "smtp_port": 2525,
   "http_port": 8581
},
{
   "name": "Camera FFmpeg",
    "cameras": [
        {
          "name": "Door",
           "manufacturer": "Reolink",
           "model": "RLC-410",
           "motion": true,
         }
      ]
}

Thanks

First of all - this is an awesome plugin! I'm loving it! - Basically all my cameras with smtp-capabilities are motion sensors now!

I would like to ask if its possible to expose the smtp sensor as a dummy switch instead of automatically triggering the motion switch on the ffmpeg plugin.

The reason for this is I'm looking for a way to include an OR condition for my notification (There may be a better way to do this - if so kindly advise?). I'm looking to trigger motion alerts rich notifications when, using homekit standard conditions..

1. No one's at home
2. Specific time after sunset (eg. midnight to sunrise)
   I'm looking for an "OR" condition for both the above to trigger my rich notification.

Currently with the SMTP motion plugin - it directly triggers the ffmpeg motion switches - but based on only one of the conditions, not when either one of them is triggered. (My cameras are set to send emails on motion detect 24/7).

I was thinking if this was exposed as a dummy switch, I could use two automation that would check for either conditions, and manually triggering the ffmpeg motion switch(?) - does this make sense?

Thanks!

Hi, after update to 1.2.0 I can't use your Plugin. It missed the http _port option that I can set by my self.
1.1.4 works fine.

This plugin seems to be incompatible with node 18.x

[20/04/2023, 23:13:13] Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8080 at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1494:16) [20/04/2023, 23:13:13] Got SIGTERM, shutting down Homebridge...

I confirmed this installing a fresh version of the Homebridge SD card image "Raspbian-Homebridge-v1.0.39.zip" and only installed the plugin "homebridge-smtp-motion".
Upon motion detection or sending a test Mail the homebridge service is restarting instantly.

I have a camera on a pi running MotionEyeOS connected to my homebridge using the FFMPEG plugin. Trying to expose the motion sensor.

Using this plugin, I get an error from MotionEye that “Notification Email Failed: Check SMTP port!”

See attached image. I am using the IP address of my homebridge installation as the SMTP server. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Appreciate any assistance. Thanks!


Please ignore, sorted out, figured out the http port!

I have everything setup and working through an email client however when I try to setup the details in the camera it returns a failed authentication request invalid username or password. Unfortunately my cameras will not allow for no user/password. Is there anything that can be done to return a valid auth request?

Hello! Thank you for your job!

When motion in Homebridge debug log see this messages:
[28/12/2020, 11:23:14] [SMTP Motion] [SMTP Server] Connection closed to 192.168.1.152

Where 192.168.1.152 - it's a IP of a cam (IPC Dahua).

Reaction is visible in log. But doesn't work for trigger.

Plugin is only binding to IPv6 loopback. Not listening on IPv4. I've removed the plugin, disabled IPv6 to get the results of ifconfig is seen below and reinstalled, but still it only listens on ipv6.

This is running homebridge on the raspbian image.

I have Camera FFmpeg set up on Hoops working fine.

I set this up on Hoobs but upon start up I receive the log error

1/19/2022, 3:57:30 PMSmtp Motion BridgeSMTP MotionERRORThe homebridge-camera-ffmpeg plugin must be installed and configured.

Seems like setup may be different on Hoobs vs Homebridge. Any help is appreciated.

Hi there - this isn't really an issue but an idea/suggestion

I am trying to make a switch that will let me control my camera rich notification better. Right now, I am able to arm/disarm the rich notifications by means of using the homekit built in "when nobody/somebody is home" condition. However I want to take it one step further, such that when I am in a particular room (eg. my study room), I still want rich notification to come from certain cameras. The condition of "when nobody/somebody is home" is nice but too limiting. There are some cameras that I still want notification from even if I am home (though not all)

I was hoping to do something like this by means of having this smtp motion trigger a dummy switch instead of going directly to homebridge-camera-ffmpeg http port. I would therefore be able to make an automation that if that dummy switch is triggered, i can make an additional check (eg. via another stateful dummy switch say ...called "Enable Camera 1 Notification") - to see if i want to trigger the switch associated with the camera that sends the rich notification. Is something like this possible ?

Alternatively - is it possible for enable homebridge-camera-ffmpeg to create sourceless dummy switch? That way, I can make this plugin trigger those dummy switch instead to achieve the same effect.
