Thanks for your prompt response! Appreciated!
Do you have any workaround to make this possible? Problem I have with eufy is that camera motion sensor triggers only when you are a couple of meter away from it. I want to trigger faster and my idea was by using other external motion sensors
@Goliath youâre welcome 
No unfortunately not. Its not possible to trigger a recording or snapshot at all.
Also starting a live stream is only possible with the cloud streams. As Homey is not powerful enough to do any local video conversion.
Im also working on fixing the image problem we have currently (latest event thumbnails)
Maybe if thats fixed that we can also do some snapshots but thatâs a big IFâŚ

I have now requested a feature request to the eufy community to allow saving recording to homebase. I guess if this feature is implemented we can leverage on this by using homey to trigger recording that saves files in the homebase and with that open up my first request of using external motion sensors.
Letâs hope so 
But keep in mind itâs not that when Eufy implements that that it will work naturally for the Homey app.
This is and will stay a reversed engineered solution.

Dear Martijn, since all the changes in the eufy (anker) application, with regards to security, is it not wise to stop try to reverse engineer this, and stop the more advanced elements of this homey application? this comment is not intended to diminish your effort, butâŚ, i suspect that the effort of keeping this homey functionality working will be in the end a battle you cannot win. (and no i do not work for eufy, but i see the efforts from their end to âtry to protectâ their stuff, which is a battle you will not win in the end.)
Hi @Pixi
So for the record Iâm not reverse engineering inside this app.
Im using a library which is based on the reverersed engineering.
I do understand your concern, however im wondering why you send this.
You say youâre not working for Eufy, but can i conclude youâre not a Homey user either? Just trying to understand the reasoning behind itâŚ
Ofcourse this integration can stop working everyday but thats the risk right. Its either no integration or thisâŚ

Your app is really good and very useful for me at least! I hope more features can be added *finger crossed *

Hi,
I have a question that might be connected to the image issue in Eufy app.
I bought a Google Nest Hub to make sure that i can still use speech once the 2023 homey is there.
With the Nest hub it should be possible to stream the Eufy Doorbell feed to the hub or other connected Chromecast devices.
But i canât get it to work and it drives me mad.
I can connect it, but once i ask to stream, it gives an error that the stream is not available.
Are more people have this problem, so i can stop searching?
Thanks in advance!
*edit: also streaming via the homey-eufy app i canât get to work. Did everything what is in the FAQ

@Twan that sounds more like a Google hub error than a Eufy error.
But you can check a couple of things.
- make sure your hub is in the same network as Eufy and Homey
- no guest network
- no vlans
Iâm having the same problem on my Nest Hubs. Google assistant always say âcanât stream from this device right nowâ. The problem has been intermittent ever since the whole security debacle with the cloud.
I wrote to eufy about it yesterday, but havenât heard back from them yet.
Starting a few days ago, I couldnât stream from this Homey app either. So everything seems dead at this point, apart from the native eufy app. At least for me.

Thatâs all how it should be.
But I am also wondering why streaming with your app doesnât work.
Maybe when I find this problem, I also find the Nest Hub problem.
When I catch the url that is used for streaming, then it is like this: https://192-168-178-5.homey.homeylocal.com/app/com.eufylife.security/settings/stream?device_sn=xxxxxxxx
Isnât that a bit odd? This url is not resolvableâŚ

@Twan @Asbjorn_Fischer will have a look tonight but should work like that. Its a Homey url which in the background resolves to a Eufy stream.
And can you stream a webpage to you Nest Hub from Homey? E.g. Google.com?
Just to check if that connection works
For the Eufy stream, they added some new authentication for web streams. It was broken a month ago and we patched it. But probably its patched again by Eufy.
If thats the case it might be that this functionality will be removed from the Eufy Homey appâŚ
Casting of google.com to the Nest Hub (and a chromecast settop box) works fine.
Thanks for taking the time
Casting a website works for me as well.
It must be frustrating for you when Eufy keeps breaking compatibility, so Iâm in no way expecting a fix. Your work is greatly appreciated, and not taken for granted.

@Twan @Asbjorn_Fischer
So found the issue and itâs luckily really easy.
When you cast the app/com.eufylife.security/settings/stream?device_sn=xxxxxxxx You get a webplayer which starts the HLS stream.
That page uses videoJS, but that got updated. So i version locked it now. And it works again, will update the app Asap
