I’ve setup a HomeKit Doorbell Camera (actually it’s a static image using the Generic Camera integration, but I don’t believe that’s relevant)

homekit:

  • name: "HomeKit Bridge"
    filter:
    include_entities:
    - camera.door
    entity_config:
    camera.door:
    name: "Front Door"
    support_audio: false
    linked_doorbell_sensor: binary_sensor.ring_doorbell

There is a button exposed to Homekit as part of the camera, but it’s not clear to me what it’s for. Any suggestions?

oh but it is relevant. homekit is super picky about what kind of video format you send to it

i gave up trying to do this from home assistant and now use Frigate to mirror camera video to HomeKit
