homebridge-camera-ffmpeg: HomeKit does not see camera
I’m unsure what I did wrong. I am trying to get HomeKit working with my Raspberry Pi 3 B+. HomeKit does not see the camera. I can view the camera with VLC with the URL specified in the config.
-
I install Raspbian Lite (2018-10-09-raspbian-stretch-lite) to my SD card.
-
I install Node.js.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x > nodesetup.sh sudo bash nodesetup.sh sudo apt-get install -y nodejs -
I install FFMPEG
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ffmpeg -
I install Homebridge
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge -
I install homebridge-camera-ffmpeg
sudo npm install -g homebridge-camera-ffmpeg -
I run Homebridge and exit. Then I create the config file.
sudo nano /home/pi/.homebridge/config.json
My config.json:
`{ “bridge”: { “name”: “Homebridge”, “username”: “CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30”, “port”: 51826, “pin”: “031-45-154” },
"description": "This is an initial config for RTSP cameras",
"platforms": [{
"platform": "Camera-ffmpeg",
"Cameras": [{
"name": "UniFi G3 Flex",
"videoConfig": {
"source": "-rtsp_transport http -re -i rtsp://myfancy_rtsp_stream",
"maxStreams": 2,
"maxWidth": 640,
"maxHeight": 480,
"maxFPS": 15,
"audio": true,
"debug": true
}
}]
}]
}`
I start Homebridge again but there is no camera.

I take that back. I had to go to “Add Accessory” and then click on “Don’t Have a Code”. The camera showed up there.
Same issue. Homekit adds Homebridge but does not show or allow me to configure the camera. Only the bridge is added to Homekit.
