@ChrisG generally Athom is not really keen on separate apps which are needed by other apps, aka some kind of library ---

Sorry that’s not true. Homey offers a [API](https://apps.developer.homey.app/advanced/web-api) that makes exactly that possible. I myself have written an [TelemetryCollector App](https://homey.app/de-ch/app/org.cflat-inc.telemetryCollector/TelemetryCollector/) that makes extensive use of the [API](https://www.npmjs.com/package/homey-telemetrycollector-api) and haven’t had any problems with Atom in that regard. There are also various “well-known” apps such as [Simple(Sys)Log](https://homey.app/de-ch/app/nl.nielsdeklerk.log/Simple-(Sys)-Log/), [MQTT Client](https://homey.app/de-ch/app/nl.scanno.mqtt/MQTT-Client/), etc. that also use the interface. Edit: It’s certainly a little tricky to get the interface up and running. But you can take a look at my code, the way I’ve implemented it, it should run without any problems (so far). ---

This is something that Homey itself should offer. ---

That’s true. But I also wrote a TelemetryCollector app just because there is no decent app logging. But we know athom and can’t wait until the cows come home..🤷‍♂️.. ---

@ChrisG I understand and I am aware of that. But I remembered there was a better logic library for developers which was not preferred by athom Also I don’t really like the idea that every user of Eufy should install a secondary app to make video stream possible ---

For me is not clear… What is the correct step to see video streaming on homey? My version is the last, but I have no evidence to see camera on live ---

The Homey app (integration) of your camera manufacturer needs to support the new feature, I except updates from different developers to com available in the coming weeks. ---

ONVIF support doesn’t necessarily mean streaming is possible, and I’m not even sure if Ring supports streaming through third party software (AFAIK it doesn’t on Home Assistant). ---

This app isn’t something that’s worth releasing. It’s literally just adding a camera by entering a RTSP url. I’m sure there are more talented devs that can make something more useful. ---

No Ajax app, but @Matteo_Foroni Adrian has added RTSP support to his Onvif test app version. If your Ajax cam can be added as Onvif app device, you can see what works (or not): ![Screenshot_20250925_160349_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/9/d9e49892caaf72e7c3c8638f2f5144b05df630b4.jpeg) > **[ONVIF Camera](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.onvif/ONVIF-Camera/test/)** > > Use an ONVIF compatible camera so Homey can improve your home security A screenshot of the live stream > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Support for ONVIF compatible cameras (Release 2.0.51, Test 2.0.52)](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-support-for-onvif-compatible-cameras-release-2-0-51-test-2-0-52/28377/1818): > > ![IMG_0538](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/9/c9ade5f72eac9e6526553c155ffb6827f581f5e7.jpeg) ---

Actually, the stream function is only available in the device secion an not on the dashboard, right? Or do i miss something?
