[Feature Request] Card for Home Assistant

[wonderiuy]

Hello AlexxIt, i'm very pleased you are working oin this project. Is possible to add a card in Home Assistant that uses go2rtc as a source? I didn't find any new card after installation. Should we use Glance card maybe? What's the address for various go2rtc stream to point at? Thank you

[wonderiuy]

I've looked at the process, which is not so clear. A dedicated card would be the best user friendly option for HASSIO, so I'm reopening the issue. Is not clear what address to use in the generic camera: the rtsp direct to camera or something pointing to go2rtc? Which is the name of the camera inside your go2rtc? Setting a name with the form would be useful also Ive noticed also that one of my camera has been automatically detected also: there is no mention of this (Axis camera)

[AlexxIT]

You may use generic camera and Lovelace card as usual. As you using it before. But after install this add-on and setup buildin integration you will get WebRTC stream.

Is there any possibility of 2 way audio within a Home Assistant card? Would this require a brand new card? Would need ability to mute & unmute microphone etc also

[AlexxIT]

Well. Someone needs to extend default Lovelace card or write new one. I plan to spend my time on advanced server features in near futures.

For all of your information, you can feed the Go2rtc RTSP feed into https://github.com/dermotduffy/frigate-hass-card

This is very useful if you use frigate

Thank you but the fact here is that we passed from AlexxIT WebRTC Camera, with lovelace card with PTZ support (1 product, no config needed) to:

• go2rtc
• RTSPtoWebRTC
• Generic Camera
• Glance card which is a step back in user friendlyness: need to configure everything, add single generic camera, etc

You can continue to using what you want :)

go2rtc is a new version of WebRTC backed with a lot of new features.

Can you quickly explain how to do that? Where do I reference the stream from go2rtc in the frigate card? I think it will just use the default RTSP stream and not from go2rtc?

[AlexxIT]

If you install go2rtc and RTSPtoWebRTC, you can use instructions "Native WebRTC" from frigate-hass-card.

I think it might work with an iframe card. Using the webrtc link from addon GUI.

I haven't tested it completely, because I don't have a microphone on my PC. But the browser asks for microphone permissions, so it seems to work.

Can anyone test it?

I just tested it and it works in a browser and in the companion app. I'll likely use it as a card-mod popup card. It's a good temporary solution but it lacks a mute button which makes it risky. :)

Well I like it better than a normal glance card but it has an issue**. It doesn't always close the connections properly when used in an iframe which can be a real problem.** Otherwise it works way better.

It appears to be the ffmpeg that keeps going.

I've been using the glance card and then added PTZ control via a separate integration (foscam in my case, ONVIF etc would also work).

Here's an example:

type: picture-glance
camera_view: live
title: Front Door
camera_image: camera.front_door
tap_action:
  action: more-info
entities:
  - entity: camera.front_door_camera_control
    name: Home
    icon: mdi:home
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: foscam.ptz_preset
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.front_door_camera_control
        preset_name: Home
  - entity: camera.front_door_camera_control
    name: Pan Left
    icon: mdi:arrow-left
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: foscam.ptz
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.front_door_camera_control
        movement: left
        travel_time: 0.75
  - entity: camera.front_door_camera_control
    name: Tilt Up
    icon: mdi:arrow-up
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: foscam.ptz
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.front_door_camera_control
        movement: up
        travel_time: 0.75
  - entity: camera.front_door_camera_control
    name: Tilt Down
    icon: mdi:arrow-down
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: foscam.ptz
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.front_door_camera_control
        movement: down
        travel_time: 0.75
  - entity: camera.front_door_camera_control
    name: Pan Right
    icon: mdi:arrow-right
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: foscam.ptz
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.front_door_camera_control
        movement: right
        travel_time: 0.75

camera.front_door is my go2rtc stream, amera.front_door_camera_control is the foscam integration used solely for PTZ control.
