[How to] Use notifications MQTT log_parser without a patched ppsapp ?

Most newer devices have the ONVIF/RTSP function available to use without patching (enabled in tuya_config.json), this means you don't have to patch ppsapp to get ONVIF/RTSP working.

If you wish to enable motion and/or doorbell notifications on these devices you can usually copy ppsapp from the home/app/ppsapp of the SD card to the root of the SD card and adjust custom.sh to run log_parser.sh.

The above generally works on most devices I have seen but some devices don't like it when you kill ppsapp and run it again (which is normally done to use log_parser), so if you experience issues such as unresponsive device or device rebooting every few minutes when you have ppsapp on the root of the SD card you can try this alternate method which simply attaches the log_parser to the output of the ppsapp already running on the device: https://github.com/guino/BazzDoorbell/issues/4#issuecomment-1208466146
