Hey Mark, integration asks me for URL, what url should I use? Also if it's streaming url, it just won't work. It's my.domain:6666 for me but it's not loading up. Please help!
HI. Is it possible to activate the Pi camera on the Raspberry pi4 where the home assistant is installed? I tried but I can't make the Pi CAM work on my Raspberry with home assistant. could you give me some help? A thousand thanks
This video made it really easy for me to configure a USB webcam on my virtualized HomeAssistant. So thanks for that! The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to add more than one USB camera's to MotionOS. 😞
Hi Mark, another great video. Be interesting to have a video with how you can create an automation linked to a motion detector sensor to trigger the camera to record or something 🙂
@@MarkWattTech f..k, today mailbox came and my new shopping - ESP32-S2 are NOT compatible with ESPHome ;-( That is so old board yet still not in the stable branch, not even dev branch works... Shame
Was able to use your instructions as the basis for the install under RaspbiOS 64-bit and motion 4.3.2-1 for arm64. Thank you again for putting these videos together. BTW, why not concatenate commands to a single line: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Hi Mark. Thanks for another great video. I don't know if I just don't know what I am doing. Trying to install MotionEye on a Pi Zero but cannot get step 4 working. Tried all kinds of Ninja tricks to get the full url but it keep getting ERROR 404.
@@MarkWattTech Yeah that was the problem. I thought I had the full one when I initially sent the message but I guess I missed a part of it. It is working now
@@MarkWattTech OK so you're using a Proxmox for HA interface and a pi3 for the camera, right? is it possible to control both from the same raspberry? thank you for the reply
@@MarkWattTech the use case would be I have two separate location, like 2 homes each with home assistant, now how can I get access to video from my another HA to my main HA.?
For method one of just connecting to the Pi via usb camera? (I did film all of the commands but cut them out as the uncut version is nearly 45mins long). Only the Pi Camera needs to run rasp-config.
HI again Matt - if the integration is working again any chance you can do a video? Not much useful info out there on how to get the Pi camera working on the Pi running HA - the documentation it useless!
Nice Video Maybe you can help me: (or anybody else) I got 2 motioneye Camera's (pi-zero and 3b) one at 192.....5 and the second .....6. Via the Eyemotion integration I've got both in my dashboard as different (correct) view but when I click on them I get the same camera view from the first camera instead of 2 different streams. All ideas are welcome. Thanks
Bro...I have spent weeks trying to figure out the best configuration to integrate my webcam into Home Assistant, and you just gave me three solutions in just over 20 minutes!
The esp32cam is not included?

Unfortunately does not seem to be working on Bookworm, with a pi zero 2w and generic pi cam
Mark you should do a video on object detection and face recognition 🙏🙏🙏
Dude awesome! Getting an Rpi soon so I'll be testing soon! Great video

have you used Frigate? I think it's better ... what do you think?
I have some Frigate content planned :)

I have something very similar planned for my smart postbox project. Opening the box records a video/takes a snap
I started today to add pi zero camera - you must have known somehow - is my HA spying on me and you checking on me? ;-)
Maybe 👀😂

Motion eye asks me for a url, idk what url i should use
Have you solved it? I couldn't do it
@@davidtomic1010 i stoped using Motion Eye and got myself a Synology nas and used that for the camera's

Glad it was helpful :) it was more to just show all of the steps. The original 43 minute cut of the video showed every single command being run 🤪
Great video, thanks a lot.
Just one question: what about a raspi camera directly connect in the raspi that have the home assistant OS?
USB Web Camera steaming video is always delaying kindly provide the best solution
How add a Bluetooth speaker to raberrypi home assistant any ideas or article about that ??
If anyone makes a raspi camera, I highly recommend RPi Cam Web Interface. I've experimented with many camera projects and this is by far the best one.
Always good to see another video mark👍 Waiting for my zemismart blind motors to arrive at the moment, your videos tend to lead to me spending money😂
Can you show the advance features?
ctrl-shift-x===== BRILLANT!
yes motion eye stuff. what happens when you have to many services on one pi? how do we add a second pi?
You can use kubernetes, docker swarm or some other cluster solutions to get more redundancy and performance.
Hey Mark, can I user that USB Cam with Frigate ? Thanks.
I haven’t tried but I think it is accessible yes :)
hm, i wonder if the raspberry pi camera can be used as a peephole camera...
There will deffo be projects online for this :)

Heya :) I will double check later but it may be the UA-cam link shortening. You may need to grab the full url
@@MarkWattTech Yeah that was the problem. I thought I had the full one when I initially sent the message but I guess I missed a part of it. It is working now
Motion Eye +1 👍🏼
Hi! in case number 3 what type of installation do you use for Home Assistant? Core, HassOS or Docker?
For this video it was HassOS running on a Proxmox VM
@@MarkWattTech OK so you're using a Proxmox for HA interface and a pi3 for the camera, right? is it possible to control both from the same raspberry? thank you for the reply
Please do videos explaining adding cameras from another home assitant instance
As in add a camera directly from that instance (e.g. the camera is plugged into the machine you are running HA on) ?
@@MarkWattTech the use case would be I have two separate location, like 2 homes each with home assistant, now how can I get access to video from my another HA to my main HA.?
you will need to run raspi-config to enable the camera interface or no video.
also stream-maxrate does not exist in the .conf file
this was related to the first camera part. the second camera you do mention rasp-config
For method one of just connecting to the Pi via usb camera? (I did film all of the commands but cut them out as the uncut version is nearly 45mins long). Only the Pi Camera needs to run rasp-config.
Hi Mark - brill vid btw, but I have a possibly a stupid question.... Can you install a Pi camera onto the Pi running HA?
You can yes and there was an integration (but it was broken at the time of this video).
HI again Matt - if the integration is working again any chance you can do a video? Not much useful info out there on how to get the Pi camera working on the Pi running HA - the documentation it useless!
@@geidorei I’ll look into it :) I was going to do a similar video with some other webcams so watch the space 👀.
Also, it’s Mark! 🤣
Lol thanks 'Mark'

Hi Ronald. How did you do step 4 on the pi zero. I cannot get it to work
@@RiaanBoden The link is shortned here
you will need to run raspi-config to enable the camera interface or no video.
also stream-maxrate does not exist in the .conf file
Think it's just the UA-cam URL shortening breaking the link. I've added it to a Gist List if anyone else has the same issue :)

@@MarkWattTech They were! I used method #2, except with an Asus "Chromebox" instead of the Rapsberry Pi.
