Are you adding the Eufy Doorbell Dual to your Apple Home setup? Here's my review of the doorbell dual from a while back: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdSkqa6rrpjPiJc.html

Why doesn’t it have homekit

Good stuff Adam. I never had much success with the Eufy HB plugin, but I never had the old doorbell dual. I just got the new dual one so I'll have to try again soon.

So Adam, do you think you would ever consider making a video on Homey Pro? In the near future, it’s usually I get a better sense how these things work. When a professional knows what they’re doing specially when they show how they work. Thank you for getting back to me. Have a great day.

Hello, it’s Ken … Great video !! I would like to know if Homey pro is like Homebridge or is it a different type of system ? I know it’s new to North America - I am trying to understand these items ( since I am not a computer whiz at all !) These items would have to be very helpful to use items like in your video. Thank you for giving me your time.

@AdamsTechLife 9 ай бұрын

Hey Ken, thanks for your comment. I think homey pro is similar to homebridge. I'm not too familiar with homey pro quite yet to know for sure but a quick glance homey pro seems to be somewhat similar to homebridge but offers more features.

Followed this setup exactly and working great. However, my Apple TV doesn’t show a live PIP view when rung. Only a text notification. Only exception is I have the wired version of the doorbell. Any ideas?

@AdamsTechLife 4 ай бұрын

i haven't tried the wired version but i think since the plugin doesn't work all the time, the live feed can have issues popping up. maybe try restarting the doorbell or homebridge?

Does Eufy make any doorbell cams that work with HomeKit natively? I have three of their cams already as well as a Homebase 2 (don’t want to buy another one) but it looks on their site that most of them aren’t natively compatible with HomeKit.

Hi Adam, I’ve watched this video a few times, I’ve managed to get Homebase 3 into HomeKit via homebridge but can only see the sensors and light functions of my eufy 2c cameras, I’ve no actual camera views, could you tell me what I’m doing wrong please? Many thanks

@AdamsTechLife 8 ай бұрын

I haven't tried this using the homebase 3, I've only tested this with homebase 2 so version 3 with the newer cameras (non HomeKit compatible) may not be fully supported yet. Thanks for watching! 😊

@bungeholegymtestkitchen9888 3 ай бұрын

@markhughes3401 I ditched the HomeBase3 for my dad’s old HomeBase2 and the Eufy 2/2Pro cameras since they work natively with HomeKit. Your 2C cameras should as well. I’ve tried multiple times to get other Eufy cameras as well as the cheaper battery doorbell camera into HomeKit via HomeBridge and I just cannot get the video feeds to work. I’ve verified that they are all compatible with the Eufy plug-in, but I’m very close to giving up and just getting more of the 2Pro cameras and a HomeKit compatible doorbell.

Doesn’t the home bridge plugin list HKSV as being supported by eufy?

@AdamsTechLife 8 ай бұрын

It technically does, but when you install the latest plugin - it doesn't include HomeKit Secure Video, so it sounds like it's still in a beta phase.

maybe try restarting homebridge or granting access from the eufy app to a guest account? or try making the eufy device a child device

@aaroncarlton5838 8 ай бұрын

I've done the best I can. I am new to Homebridge and trying workarounds. I've installed Homebridge and followed the steps. I have the Eufy Security Plugin installed in Homebridge, but it doesn't give me any settings to change on the Eufy Dualcam Doorbell. It doesn't even show a doorbell icon under devices. It's just a generic icon. In Apple HomeKit, it shows the doorbell, but never gives me a video. When I tap the icon in HomeKit, it gives me the option of Home, Away, Night, and Off. It also gives me a sliding On and Off. I have no idea what those mean or do. They don't seem to change anything. Where do I even go to get help finding out what I need to do to fix it? I have home bridge installed on a Mac mini with M1 chip.

I would maybe try reaching out to the developers of the plugin? they might know more of the deeper technical side of things

@michael_jacobsen 5 ай бұрын

Two factor authentication for the guest account? That doesn't sound right when it's being used by a service like a plugin in Homebridge, the essens of two factor authentication is to verify by an extra code being send to the user (a person) whom then can verify it. But the guest account is a necessity as the plugin will write an error in the log if you use your main account.

@AdamsTechLife 5 ай бұрын

i'm not sure of the technical reason behind it, but according to the plugin 2fa is required.

@michael_jacobsen 5 ай бұрын

I think you're mistaken, can you reply with a link to that dokumentation? Each time the Homebridge is reset the plugin has to authenticate to eufy, how can it do that by two factor authentication, the plugin can't read emails or notifications on your phone and reply with that code to eufy@@AdamsTechLife

@michael_jacobsen 5 ай бұрын

I think you're mistaken, can you provide a link to where it says 2fa is required? How would the plugin authenticate when the bridge is reset if it's set up for 2fa? 2fa is a manuel process (it requires a person), and the plugin can't read a code sent to an email account or to your phone. And don't delete this message again like you did before, if you can't provide accurate information it's better to redo the video rather than hiding by deleting messages. This time I took a picture of the message in the thread and I will post that picture if you delete it again @echLife
