Motion detection on MQTTP but not appearing in the motion_sensor in HA

[xinux87]

HI,

I'm having aproblem, with 5 cameras and the motion_sensor. I can see the MQTTP packets on HO, but it don't refresh the sensors on HA.

I have tried to configure first the mqttp on the cameras and later add them in the integration but nothing, but i'm getting the connect status to work.

Even i've tried to use a diferent Topics Prefix for each camera.

P.d works fine! but any other sensor than the offline don't work.

This camera is

Thanks Again!!

Which HA version are you using?

[xinux87]

Home Assistant 2021.11.2

[roleoroleo]

Tested with this version. It seems working. Try to disable human detection.

[xinux87]

already done and it doen't work, it can be for the CAM? they're using yi-hack-v5.

[roleoroleo]

Maybe. Because I can't test the integration with v5. Which version are you using? Is there any useful log in ha?

[xinux87]

Here you have!!

Thanks!!

Same problem here but with allwinner v2. Home Assistant detection says connected but the sensor doesn't work.

@roleoroleo There is any place with a tutorial to integrate the cams with the MQTTP?

I mean, it says just need to add the integration and add the IP/Username/password, but we need to add the MQTTP credentials right?? or with the Hack its not necessary¿

And anything else?

Like, giving a new name for each camera on the MQTTP section and i dont know...

Thanks!!

@xinux87 Which version are you using? Line 193 in common.py is blank.

About MQTT, you have to configure credentials:

• when you configure the cam (webpage of the cam).
• when you add MQTT integration in ha.

You don't need to insert username/password when you add this integration.

[xinux87]

lol 0.3.1 updating and testing.

[xinux87]

Then, in the MQTT webpage from the cam: /index.html?page=mqtt -> Add server data, and port, then the autentification -> I'm getting the status Connected. And in the: index.html?page=mqtt_adv

What do we need to activate everything? with Enabled And Start on boot?

• MQTT Information Advertise
• MQTT Link Advertise
• MQTT Camera Settings Advertise
• MQTT Telemetry Advertise
• Home Assistant -> Changing device ID right?

Or there is a minimal install.

Thanks for your time!

[xinux87]

Started Again with the new version.

now i see the motion events on mqtt but, but just motion_stop not motion_start

getting data on the MQTT:

Can it be a problem with the firmware of the camera? even i can see the recorded videos, but the event motion_start, dont appears on the mqtt.

added some infor of the webcam:

[roleoroleo]

What do we need to activate everything? with Enabled And Start on boot?

* MQTT Information Advertise

* MQTT Link Advertise

* MQTT Camera Settings Advertise

* MQTT Telemetry Advertise

* Home Assistant -> Changing device ID right?

If you use this integration, you don't need to activate mqtt advertising.

Can it be a problem with the firmware of the camera? even i can see the recorded videos, but the event motion_start, dont appears on the mqtt.

Normally this happens if you enable human detection. But depends on the model.

[xinux87]

Afrter some debuggind and help, it seems to be a problem with the firmware that don't send the motion_start via MQTTP.

I will open, in the firmware the issue.

Thanks!!
