This model has never been tested. To implement it correctly, I need someone to share the device with me.

[fuatakgun]

@rpitera, we need your help here.

[rpitera]

@fuatakgun - can you give @bropat your access or do I need to create another account? I'm OK with you giving @bropat the access or I can create another account. Just let me know how I can help!

[fuatakgun]

@bropat can you share your account details so @rpitera can share the device with you.

[bropat]

@rpitera us or eu account?

[rpitera]

Sorry, for the delay - US Account @bropat. And thanks so much for looking at this.

Some background - I was seeing the T8422 snapshots in ioBroker using the eufy security plugin and the REST API. Then I started having issues with ioBroker after it's last update and I went back to using @fuatakgun's method with the addon/component and it's come such a long way that I'd prefer to stick with it. I've disabled ioBroker, but left it installed in case there's any value in seeing how it handles the 8422.

Again, my thanks to you both.

OK, invite sent.

@rpitera

I have found the error and fixed it. Have tested all functions successfully :)

The only problem now is the "timeout", which does not always occur. From tomorrow until Saturday I am on holiday and will not have the opportunity to work on it. I therefore ask for a little patience so that I can also solve this problem. :)

[fuatakgun]

Enjoy your vacation

[rpitera]

The only problem now is the "timeout", which does not always occur.

Could this just be a network issue on my end? I'm not sure in what context the timeout occurs, but are the conditions comparable across the different models? In other words, are you able to compare the same condition on any of the other cams? If so, then maybe it's signal dropouts on my wifi; I have been experiencing them for a while now and just learned to live with it until I replace my router. But it's never caused the other eufycams from producing a last event url - or at least they recover, because I'm still getting last event snapshots (which, honestly is more important to me personally as I don't need to stream from HA often).

Anyways, rambling aside, my thanks for finding this so quickly. Take as long as you need and I hope you make an effort to enjoy yourself! If there is any other info or tests I can run on my end, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks @fuatakgun for getting me connected and figuring this out.

And I guess I'm moving up the router project...

[bropat]

@fuatakgun @rpitera

I have found the cause. ;)

[rpitera]

Damn. Talk about your cliffhangers.... tune in for the next episode! LOL

(Nice one @bropat!)

[bropat]

@fuatakgun @rpitera

I am effectively not getting the feedback packet from the station, so the error is correct. Interestingly, the Eufy Station has just now been updated with new firmware.... Let's see if the problem is still there :P

[fuatakgun]

Have you seen this menu in app?

[bropat]

@fuatakgun

yes I have. @rpitera has enabled Performance.

[bropat]

When I have the timeout problem, it persists throughout the connection, mainly with the P2P command 1103. If I disconnect and reconnect and the error does not occur, it runs fine.

[bropat]

It could be that certain commands that I have discovered through reverse engineering lead to this instability in a certain sequence. It would be interesting to know if this timeout problem only occurs with many devices. For example, I have 2 Eufycam 2 connected to one station and have never had this problem.

[bropat]

Anyway, this new performance setting makes me think of nothing good.... :P As the description says:

"Enhance stability and fluency when connecting multiple devices"

[bropat]

@fuatakgun

How many devices have you registered at the station?

[bropat]

That's enough for today. I'll be in touch when I return from my holiday.

[rpitera]

If you suggest turning it off, I will. But I mean at this point you have admin so feel free to do it yourself if you think it's best.

It would be interesting to know if this timeout problem only occurs with many devices. For example, I have 2 Eufycam 2 connected to one station and have never had this problem.

The irony is that the only one exhibiting the issue is the one that doesn't connect to the base station. Though there IS a sync button on it and Eufy has said this might/would/kinda come in a future FW update when I asked. It was a company contact provided to me via Best Buy - I do reviews for them in exchange for products and the Floodlight Cam was one of them.

[fuatakgun]

@fuatakgun

How many devices have you registered at the station?

4 devices, all are 2c

[rpitera]

You should be able to enjoy it even more knowing that you found the issue. Cheers! See you when you get back.

[bropat]

@rpitera

The irony is that the only one exhibiting the issue is the one that doesn't connect to the base station.

The timeout comes from the base station not from the floodlight. The floodlight is working well after my fix.

[bropat]

@fuatakgun

If I understand correctly, you also have a timeout problem with the base station. Correct? If so, you can try removing 2 of the 4 cameras from the base station, reboot it and then test everything again and check if the timeout still occurs.

After this test, you can of course return to the previous configuration. ;)

[bropat]

@fuatakgun

Have you done the test described above?

[bropat]

Added in version 1.2.0

[yieldhog]

Hi @bropat -- can you have a look when you get a chance at T8424? I am available to test. Thank you
