I have a camera on a pi running MotionEyeOS connected to my homebridge using the FFMPEG plugin. Trying to expose the motion sensor. Using this plugin, I get an error from MotionEye that “Notification Email Failed: Check SMTP port!” See attached image. I am using the IP address of my homebridge installation as the SMTP server. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Appreciate any assistance. Thanks!

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
