So i’ve got a Fascom V1 video doorbell and a google home. When i tell my google home to stream the doorbell it streams the doorbell video just fine. Now i want to stream the doorbell stream on my google home when someone rings the door. But i can’t seem to get it to really stream the video. Can’t find many topics about this specific cause. But this is what i’ve tried so far and what it did: - I can choose some options based on the stream: 1. `rtsp://username:pwd@IP address:RTSP port/videoMain` 2. `rtsp://username:pwd@IP address:RTSP port/videoSub` These links work when i try to stream them inside a mediaplayer on my pc. When i use google cast video url with these links set up it gives a google sound and it looks like it tries to start a stream. The google cast icon is showing but it won’t go any further then that. - I read somewhere about this link: `http://IP:PORT/videostream.cgi?user=USERNAME&pwd=PASSWORD&resolution=32` But that one only gave a black screen. - I read somewhere else to first make a card to let google stop casting on that device and then start the cast card. But that one also didn’t make any difference. - Download onvif app on Homey. But it doesn’t have a ‘then’ trigger in google cast to cast it’s video signal. - I can cast an image from the doorbell camera. - I tried the Synology’s survaillance station share stream patht function but rtsp as rtsp to http both give the same results. - Tried to create a virtual device (same name app in homey) for a button, light and speaker but altough they show up in Google Home’s devices they aren’t available in Google Home as a trigger in automations. When i use the cast video, website or youtube cars with these url’s i get either a google cast or homey icon on the google home but that’s it. It doesn’t seem to be loading any video. I’m out of ideas right now and i hope someone else has an anwser or some advise on this matter 🙂 ---

Did you test with cast variants, like cast video, cast Youtube video, cast website? Sometimes the “not obvious” one works. ---

Yes, i tried casting website, youtube video, video url. Website and video url both gave a google cast icon on the google home. The youtube video gave a homey logo wich kept circling. But nothing seems to happen… I notice the cast image function. I can set the tag for the doorbell image wich works fine. I also googled some more. Noticed people using the [share stream path function](https://kb.synology.com/en-sg/SurveillanceStation/help/SurveillanceStation/camera_get_stream_path?version=9) from Synology’s Survaillance Station. Tried both rtsp and rtsp over http links but all gave the same outcome as in my first post ☹ I now downloaded the onvif camera app to my Homey. Connected it without issues to my doorbell. But google cast doesn’t see a tag to cast it’s video stream to a google device. I edited OP with this info.
