HSV Support (HomeKit Secure Video)

[jacksonjao]

Hi! Kopiro, first, thank you for the effort you put on this project, this should be verified for homebridge.

I wanted to ask you if it's possible to add HSV support, I am going to leave you a repo where they are using it.

Hello, I'm gonna check and see if it's possible :)

[Pathaleon]

Would like to second this feature request :)

Will be a nice addition to this great plugin for the Tapo!

[xatrix78]

This will be awesome!

[Stianker1]

Totally agree! Would be a super addition to the allready great plugin. Is there any way to enable two way audio as well?

Thanks for your great plug-in, I totally agree this request if it’s possible.

Here are some interesting discussions about HSV

Here are two plugins that has implemented HSV

• homebridge-camera-ffmpeg (sub-branch)
• homebridge-camera-ui

Hello; thanks @albinmedoc for reporting these work.

It looks like camera-ffmpeg plugin is still working on it; once they release a stable version of HSV I'm going to bump the version and in theory we should get this for free.

Hello @kopiro
Already camera-ffmpeg release a version with HSV
Could you check the videoProcessor parameter that use camera-ffmpeg, I need to set that parameter from tapo-camera

Thanks, great job

[kopiro]

Hello @mivalme , where do you see the release of camera-ffmpeg with HSV?

[doz10us]

@mivalme As far as I see, the issue #338 for HSV in camera-ffmpeg is still open. I think it safe to assume that our #35 is blocked until that is resolved.

Hi,

can someone clearify if camera ffmpeg has the hsv feature or not, afai can see there is not.
Asking because i likely purchase more tapos and i found a nice working way over scrypted to have hsv but i really like to get rid of it again if a homebridge plugin can/will support it.

Scrypted is nice but i want to keep it all under one hood, i am not a fan of splitting the driving systems.
Afaik camera ffmpeg is not actively maintained anymore, so i don't expect hsv if there is no one who forks it and work on it.

camera-ui is much to overdriven for me, not saying it's bad just to much for my use-case.

Best Regards X23

Hello folks! Update on this: I've tried to implement it and even though I managed to get the camera tilt/pan working (#95) - I've not been able to find an integration between Homebridge and Homekit itself that allows this functionality in Homekit app.

I don't really like the solution of having fake switches that controls that, therefore I'm not going to implement an hack.

[x23piracy]

@kopiro i fully agree, the fake switches are just a dirty workaround, native support would be the best.
Thanks for testing.

@kopiro What about HSV/HKSV? Would it be possible to take the code from camera-ui? I really want to ditch scrypted.

Any update for this?
