This is due to the Package Camera having a very low FPS that does not make it compatible with HLS streaming. The problem I am having is that when I get an alert for motion detection, the camera feed doesn't load reliably. Several times, I have to completely close the app, and restart it in order to view the camera feed. Also, there is no option to select Smart Detection alerts in the app. Rather than opening UniFi Protect App, I can see UniFi live videos through Home App.
It is disappointing there is no affordable 4k camera option when consumer products do offer them. Based on my current experience with the product here are some things I think would be nice to have from Ubiquiti. I am installing this system into a home, and that’s not squarely where Ubiquiti is aiming this product at.
[UniFi Protect] Protect Unleashed Episode I | Adding UniFi Protect to Home Assistant
If this box is checked, the camera stream will not use the RTSP stream, but instead jpeg push. This gives a realtime stream, but does not include Audio. The local username you setup under the Prerequisites section.
Use to set the paired doorbell with a smart chime. NVR Console Selector - only appears if you have more then one Protect NVR Console. Allows you to select your NVR Console you want to view events for. Lock - A lock control will be added to lock and unlock your door lock device. Liveview Select - A select control will be added for each viewer device that will allow you to select which liveview is being displayed on the viewer. Button - A button to clear the tampered state as well as a disabled by default button to restart the device.
Hardware Support
Will greatly increase CPU usage, do not enable unless you plan to use it. Camera - A camera for each camera channel and RTSP combination found for each camera . Only the highest resolution RTSPS camera entity will be enabled by default.If your camera is a G4 Doorbell Pro, an additional camera entity will be added for the Package Camera. The Package Camera entity will not have streaming capabilities regardless of whether RTSPS is enabled on the channel or not.
Now that you have UniFi controller integration account setup, you are ready to install the integration. Home Assistant needs to access UniFi Protect controller. For the security reason, you want create a dedicated user account for home automation device integration.
Google NEST Cameras
Now this has added UniFi Protect to your official integration search list. This is where dedicated home automation hub like HA plays a role. HA acts as home automation controller/brain unit and ties otherwise completely independent products from different venders to integrates together and allows to make an automation. However, in my case we have other areas in home with Sonos speakers and not able to hear doorbell ring in those area. So the real automation I like to do is UniFi Protect Doorbell push to announce “someone is at the door” on all my Sonos speakers throughout home.
But to be clear, it all still runs inside your house and not in the cloud. Temperature, Light Status, sure, that's easy Home Automation. Fast forward to today – what would you suggest? Seems the new nest wifi solves your MIMU issue, so maybe you would have just stuck with all Google?
Using Home Assistant to integrate a Unifi Protect G4 Doorbell and Amazon Alexa to announce visitors
It supports both regular Ubiquiti Cameras and the UniFi Doorbell. Camera feeds, Motion Sensors, Doorbell Sensors, Motion Setting Sensors and Switches will be created automatically for each Camera found, once the Integration has been configured. This repository has been archived by the owner before Nov 9, 2022. This makes all your Alexas show up in Home Assistant as "media players" and also allows you to tts to them. There should be better integration between SDN and Protect, for example, I should not have to set aliases in both manually . I would love to see a less obvious industrial design for the cameras that would work well with skins so you can hide the cameras more easily.
Also, a disabled by default button is added to let you reboot your smart chime device. Sensors - Sensors include “Is Dark”, “Motion Detected”, detected object sensors , and “Doorbell Chime” . Several diagnostics sensors are added including sensors on uptime, network connection stats, and storage stats.
Similarly, a 502 Bad Gateway also means that your UniFi Protect application may not be running. Device Configuration - Smart chimes will get a volume slider to adjust the chime’s loudness and a sensor for the last time the chime rang. Configuration switches Overlay Information, Smart Detections types, Status Light, HDR, High FPS mode, System Sounds.
Such feature alone can put UniFi Protect product line into whole new dimension for general consumers in competition with Netgear Arlo, Eufy and Netamo while providing benefit of local storage. After it is turned enabled, click Doorbell.Trigger switch icon on the Homebrige. This should trigger Homekit notification on iOS device and if all working HomePod chime ring. UniFi Protect doorbell notification should be popping up so long as you have notification on UniFi Protect turn on.
