Account Information
Because of the way the Eufy Security private API works, an email/password combo cannot
work with both the Eufy Security mobile app and this app. It is recommended to
use the mobile app to create a secondary “admin” account with a separate email address
and use it with this app.

Q1:I don’t receive notifications/device updates in Homey A1: Make sure the selected security mode inside the official Eufy app has enabled notifications for your device. (Home / Away / etc) A2: Sometimes it might help to restart the Eufy app in Homey
Q2:Can I disable notifications on my Phone and keep them on Homey? A1: Unfortunately not. Homey registers itself as a Android device at Eufy. A2: Work-around Android: Disable motion inside the Android settings (Apps → Eufy → Notifications) A3: Work-around Ios: (link)
Q3:Images are not updating in the app A1: Images are only updating when an event happened: motion/person detection or doorbell press A2: Check FAQ Q1 for the correct settings
Q4:My device shows a error A1: If the error message contains a captcha error. Then follow the instruction A2: If the error show that it can’t find the device or station serial number:
A2.1: Homey mobile app: Go to the device settings → maintenance → repair. A2.2: Homey web app: Right click on the device → repair. A2.3: This will update your devices and sync them with the Eufy server
Q5:The battery status and temperature is not aligned with the official Eufy app A1: Seems like the battery/temperature status is incorrect. Eufy is not updating that every day to the cloud. so the data is quite outdated. Once Eufy resolves this the battery status will be correct in Homey.
Q7:When I try to add a new camera it doesn’t show up A1: Make sure the new camera is shared with your extra account. Otherwise it can’t be picked up by Homey.
Q9:How to start a stream A1: Follow this flow and you can start a stream on a chromecast device or use this url on another machine: Gedeelde Flow | Homey and Gedeelde Flow | Homey (TIP: use cast a webpage card) A2: To Prevent delays: Make sure to set your Stream to Smart Display first. you can find this when you go to you camera settings → video quality → Streaming to Smart Display
Q10:Changing guard mode shows: Not available for this device A1: This is because the security modes are setup globally. The Off option is only for the homebase. When you see Not available for this device the security mode isn’t changed and the Homey app shows this message as an indicator that it cannot be used with this device.
Q11:Commands to Eufy are not working (on/off , security modes, etc) A1: This might be caused by your network. If Eufy and Homey are not in the same network the connection won’t work (unless on Homey Cloud). A2: Since Homey-Eufy version 3 it’s possible to have dynamic IP addresess for your Eufy cameras/homebase. So if you have set-up a static IP and experience any issues, make the IP dynamic, restart the Homey-Eufy app and try again.
Q12:My camera notifications settings are put on include thumbnail A1: Since Homey-Eufy version 3 this is forced from Homey. As include thumbnail is the best setting which allows Homey to react to all camera types. Text only doesn’t contain an image and Full Effect gives duplicate data and unpredicted results as this behaves different per camera model.
Q13: Does this app work on my Homey? A1: Homey Pro: YES A2: Homey (Early 2016): YES A3: Homey (Early 2018): YES A4: Homey (Early 2019): YES A5: Homey (Early 2023): YES A6: Homey Cloud (Bridge): NO (Status: Will not be released as a Cloud App)
A7.1: All old Homey’s are Pro now. (The white ball) Only with less cpu and memory. A7.2: HOMEY is now a cloud service you can run free or with subscription and a Bridge as a local antenna.
Hi @Rens_Hoekema ,
Currently i’m trying to get the notifications to homey.
I think this will also work with the doorbell press but i’m not sure.
If I have a new version ready i’ll reach out to you via DM
Thanks for the update!
I tried to get the Deurbel Druk working, but it didn’t work.
This is what I have done so far:
Shared the devices (EufySecurity app --> Family & Guest --> Add Admin) with a second account.
Logged in with second account in the EufySecurity, can see the devices and get notifications.
Installed v0.7.0 from Community
In Homey Eufy app, Configure App
Logged in with the second account. But no keys are generated. It only tells me: “Saved. Logged in to EufyLife.”
Tried to create a flow, but no doorbell press was detected.
When I go back to configure the Homey Eufy, all the login details are gone.
And when I try to fill in random things in the login, it also gives the above “Saved” state.
So it looks like the login isn’t working anymore.
With the previous version, it did work and got all de different keys.
If you need any more testing, please let me know!
Did you also log out of the EufySecurity app (on your phone) again?
Because you should logged in in to the EufySecurity app with your main account and logged in with the second account on the homey app.
Can you share a screenshot of the Configure App page in a DM?
That is amazing @martijnpoppen !
I’ve already got an integration working with a Fibaro Implant, but this makes it so much more convenient!
How likely do you think it will be able to include a camera screenshot as well?
Would love to connect that with the Face Recognition app for full integration
I don’t know if you already got it working, because I didn’t.
Installed the app, logged in with my second account (admin rights), got a (swedish?) message that I was logged in, but it didn’t found my doorbell.
