Add a new Eufy Security integration that allows users to view and stream their Eufy Security cameras in Home Assistant. This is basically a glorified RTSP viewer when you don't have their cloud service but it felt useful enough to have the discovery for me.

Docs PR: home-assistant/home-assistant.io#42523

Breaking change

Proposed change

  • Config flow with UI-based setup (email/password authentication)
  • CAPTCHA handling when required by Eufy's API
  • Reauthentication flow for credential updates
  • Camera entity with live streaming support
  • Prefers local RTSP streaming when credentials are configured, falls back to cloud streaming
  • Snapshot support via ffmpeg (with 60-second throttling to prevent overwhelming cameras)
  • Session persistence to avoid unnecessary re-authentication
  • ECDH encryption for secure API communication (v2 Eufy API)

Type of change

  • Dependency upgrade
  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New integration (thank you!)
  • New feature (which adds functionality to an existing integration)
  • Deprecation (breaking change to happen in the future)
  • Breaking change (fix/feature causing existing functionality to break)
  • Code quality improvements to existing code or addition of tests

This adds a new integration for Eufy Security cameras using the python-eufy-security library. The integration provides: - Config flow with email/password authentication - Reauthentication support - Camera entity with RTSP streaming support - Still image capture from last camera image - Device information including serial, model, and software version - Data update coordinator for periodic refresh Note: Users should create a separate guest account for Home Assistant as the Eufy API does not support concurrent sessions.
Add eufy_security to config_flows.py and integrations.json so the integration appears in the Home Assistant UI integration list.
The python-eufy-security library has incompatible dependencies (requires aiohttp==3.6.1 while HA uses 3.13.x). This replaces the external library with an internal API client that directly calls the Eufy Security cloud API endpoints. The built-in client provides: - Authentication via /passport/login - Device listing via /app/get_devs_list and /app/get_hub_list - Stream start/stop via /web/equipment/start_stream and stop_stream
- Add proper HTTP headers (User-Agent, Content-Type, Accept) - Handle non-JSON responses (403 blocked) gracefully - Improve error messages to suggest eufy-security-ws add-on - Wrap ClientError exceptions properly
Changed the config flow to use CONF_EMAIL instead of CONF_USERNAME since Eufy Security accounts use email addresses for authentication. Updated strings.json, config_flow.py, __init__.py and corresponding tests.
Changed the integration to connect to the eufy-security-ws WebSocket add-on instead of directly calling the Eufy API. This follows the same approach used by the popular HACS integration. Key changes: - New WebSocket API client that communicates with eufy-security-ws - Config flow now asks for host/port instead of email/password - Integration connects to the add-on which handles Eufy authentication - Supports both RTSP and P2P livestreaming through the add-on - Removed direct API authentication (handled by add-on) The eufy-security-ws add-on must be installed separately from: https://github.com/bropat/hassio-eufy-security-ws
Reverted to the direct Eufy Security cloud API approach instead of requiring the eufy-security-ws add-on. Key changes: - Uses email/password login directly with Eufy's cloud API - Password is MD5 hashed as expected by the API - User-Agent mimics the mobile app to reduce blocking - Supports reauth flow for credential updates - Includes proper error handling for API blocks Note: Eufy may still block some API requests. If you experience connection issues, you may need to use the eufy-security-ws add-on from HACS instead.
Inlined and adapted the python-eufy-security library (by keshavdv/FuzzyMistborn) directly into the integration. This provides: - Token expiration tracking with automatic refresh - Domain switching when Eufy returns an alternative API endpoint - Retry logic on 401 errors (re-authenticates automatically) - Error code mapping (e.g., 26006 = InvalidCredentialsError) - Camera dataclass with properties from camera_info dict - Cleaner request handling with skip_auth option This approach maintains the library ourselves rather than depending on an archived external package.
- Add 60-second throttling for RTSP snapshot captures to prevent overwhelming cameras with connections - Add asyncio.Lock() to prevent concurrent snapshot captures - Add ffmpeg timeout and process cleanup on timeout - Fix lint issues: import ordering, type annotations, logger messages - Move inline imports to top-level for ruff PLC0415 compliance - Use contextlib.suppress for cleaner exception handling 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Set _attr_name = None for main camera entity (use device name only) - Add attribute constants (ATTR_*) for state attributes - Prefer local RTSP streaming over cloud when credentials configured - Remove duplicate RTSP constant definitions from config_flow - Remove unused camera entity translation 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix conftest.py to mock EufySecurityAPI class instead of non-existent async_login function in __init__ - Add separate mock_config_flow_api fixture for config flow tests - Update test_config_flow.py to use real exception classes from api module - Update test_init.py to mock EufySecurityAPI properly - Fix test_camera.py entity_id (now camera.front_door_camera without suffix since _attr_name = None) - Add ip_address and rtsp_credentials to mock_camera fixture - Update mock_config_entry to include all required data fields 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
