| Foscam C1 IP camera | Requested | Alarm/motion integration requested; security release plannedSaved copyHi, Thanks for your plugin. I wanted to know if you could also integrate IP cameras like the C1 (with infrared). I previously used the Foscam-Security plugin (https://github.com/nitaybz/homebridge-foscam-security) to activate an alarm system via its motion sensor.

Gathered from the plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki and docs, and from r/homebridge. These are individual reports, so check the linked thread and the date before you buy.

In ReReHome
Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
Caveats from the README
- v1.0 covers spotlight only
HomeKit services in its code
Found by scanning the published npm package. A plugin can register a service only for some devices.
