I got the stream working in VLC and my recording systems and the PI system that i use as a monitor for my feeds ([GitHub - Anonymousdog/displaycameras: System for displaying RTSP feeds from IP cameras on the Raspberry Pi](https://github.com/Anonymousdog/displaycameras)). So far everything works fine, only 1 issue, the feed stops after exactly 5 minutes and you have to get a new url.

I just tried this concept over PiPup, but that doesn’t seem to work out of the box (yet)

So I found that the stream\_url is always the same. only the `?time` and `&token` are changing.  
You can remove that part form the url and run the flow to start the stream every 5 minutes. Not sure if Eufy would like that and maybe block you… 🤔

@MrBlue Hmm no, I’m not sure yet how to do that. Sending a url to android tv which consumes that url is not possible as far as I see.

Correct. Now considering hosting a webpage on my NAS which displays the RTMP stream, and pushing that over PiPup.  
A concept for now though…

At least you have a new project to work on 😛

Okay, removing token and time works (kinda makes it a bit less secure then it looked at first lol)  
Now testing if without the stream will continue to work after 5 minutes, triggering it every 5 minutes might be an issue with a recorder.

True!  
Just out of curiosity; since this triggers the doorbell to be live, would there be a way to also take a snapshot (which can be used in Homey).

(Not sure if I already asked this before. If so, my apologies for asking again :-))

That would be a game changer (and quite insecure as well). Curious on the outcome!

Right now thats not possible. To take an snapshot of an stream I need FFMPEG but that’s not supported by Homey.  
So you would need an RPI or something like that as an image converter 😂

Edit: Or use an VPS which can convert it for you. But might be quite slow I think

I use my recording software to take a snapshot and post that to a feed, but that could also be homey i guess, I just update the same picture on movement, same url as well, so pretty sure you can use imagegrabber for that in homey, but yeah you need a vps/server/pi to capture that image first.

Hi Martijn,  
I can only start by saying **THANK YOU** for developing the Eufy app for Homey. I currently have multiple Eufy cams (5 EufyCam 1’s and 1 PT) and I love the way you are progressing with the app. Honestly I was quite anxious to read that the HomeBase is now supported. However I can’t find it/ install it. Could it be only HomeBase V2 is supported for now? And if so, will you be adding the original HomeBase v1 as well? **Keep up the good work!**

Hi @Raymond_Wigmore ,  
Yeah for now it’s only the 2.  
I can support Homebase 1 to but I need some help with testing.  
Will send you a DM when I implemented that 🙂  
The current change is still in testing phase so will wait with go-live until the Homebase 1 is included

Have some on my NAS, but used to run ispy on a VM, but there are also very light versions that have this functionality and that run on a pi. MotionEyeOS might be something, but there are others too

@martijnpoppen Can you somehow make the battery level status available for the battery powered devices? In my case Eufycam2 1080

edit: seems I have asked this before LOL

Hi @Tb1 ,  
This image only updates when you got an event like motion or doorbell press.  
I would suggest to restart the Eufy-Homey app, because sometimes the images are not registered correct.
