Why?

I have an Aqara Hub G3 camera on HomeAssistant but I can't control it, with the homekit connection I only have the alarm function.

Update flow

for a successful update of the existing flow without changing the entities in HomeAssistant, follow the steps:

• import new json

  

• delete old flow (complete flow card)

• deploy
  !! do not deploy without deleting the old !!

Install OK

Update data

• add automation every 1 minute:

    description: Update Aqara G3
    mode: single
    trigger:
     - platform: time_pattern
       minutes: /1
    condition: []
    action:
      - service: button.press
        metadata: {}
        data: {}
        target:
          entity_id: button.camera_g3_log

TIPS Hub G3

• HomeKit for alarm function:

  • autodiscovery, insert qrcode number

  ( port change every reboot of device, scan and find with nmap

  replace port into "/config/.storage/core.config_entries" )

---

• Live video:
  • hack G3 (delete authentication rtsp):
    • open telnet aQRootG3
    • Firmware mod firmware
      • add post_init.sh: "killall -9 rtsp && rtsp >/dev/null 2>&1 &"

or you can see rtsp user/pass (change every boot)

from telnet command:

agetprop sys.camera_rtsp_url

rtsp://192.168.1.52:8554/360p (/720p /1080p /1296p)

rtsp://USER:PASS@192.168.1.52:8554/360p (/720p /1080p /1296p)
