Home Assistant Integration  

RE: Home Assistant Integration

It would need to have a firmware which would tak to HA (or something talking to the camera), but it's not there.

AFAIR current camera firmware just sends images to PrusaConnect and nothing else.

RE:

Well, it's possible, but it's complicated. Currently, Prusa doesn't generate a streaming signal compatible with third-party services (in fact, it simply sends a frame every few seconds).So, to achieve this, you first need to generate your own streaming signal from the camera (perfectly possible, since it's not blocked) using a media server, such as an RTSP server. For that, you'll need something to run that server on...

In short, you have the instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/prusa3d/comments/1971673/streaming_a_webcam_via_rtsp_to_prusa_connect/ although my advice, if you want a camera with Home Assistant integration or similar, is to buy a compatible one (they cost around €25) and install it instead of the Buddy. It will be much cheaper and much faster.

Just FYI, there has been some development on this and it is available here: Reddit: Core One Buddy Cam streaming in Home Assistant now!

Basically two options:

1. Add integration in Lovelace
   Integration: Generic Camera
   url:  rtsp://{local ip}:554/live/
   protocol: TCP
   authentication: left it basic
   username: left blank
   password: left blank
   frame rate: 30
   verify SSL: checked
2. Add integration manually in configuration.yaml

stream:
camera:  
  - platform: ffmpeg    
    name: core_one    
    input: rtsp://{loval-ip}:554/live/

v1 didn't work for me, but v2 is working fine

I'd like to add that these settings were exactly what I was looking for. I intend to comment on the installation thread linking them here but if someone from Prusa sees this please include the above at the end of the install guide.
