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. (Make sure 2FA is disabled for this account)

Q0: 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 Cloud (Bridge): NO (Status: checking with Athom)
A6.1: All old Homey’s are Pro now. (The white ball) Only with less cpu and memory. A6.2: HOMEY is now a cloud service you can run free or with subscription and a Bridge as a local antenna.
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 A2: Check the notification settings per device and make sure person and/or motion is enabled (tip: use include thumbnail) A3. Share the devices with a extra admin account. Make sure you use the shared devices option. Don’t use the invite to house option. Then Homey cannot read the events
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 A3: Live stream is only possible via the livestream flowcard. This will return a stream url which you can send to a Chromecast
Q4: I cannot change the on/off state or security modes A1: Check your app-settings. Make sure to use an Internal IP address. If you don’t know the address. Go to the official Eufy app and select: Homebase settings → about device → IP
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 so the data is quite outdated.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. A2: Login again in the Eufy-Homey app. Go to settings and click Save changes this will refresh your Eufy data
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 (TIP: use webpage card and 1 sec delay) 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.
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.
