EZVIZ cameras	Not working	Plugin worked for a long time then suddenly stopped this year Saved copy Hi, i’m looking for some advice. I have ezviz cameras and up until this year used the ezviz plugin without any issues (it worked perfectly and i could see my cameras on homekit), than it suddenly stopped working with the homebridge app and I can’t see my ezviz cameras on homekit anymore. Now i’m thinking of either setting up new cameras or looking at an alternative solution to view my ezviz cameras on homekit. Does anybody have any advice or a solution/work around for me.

EZVIZ CP2 door viewer	Not working	Type CatEye skipped; peephole update did not work for tester Saved copy … device key/code in the config file is correct? In case you want to continue debugging, I'm sending you a step by step guide to how to call some of the EZVIZ endpoints manually, so we can get access to responses and see what kind of data is returned for the CP2 device specifically. 1. First you need to authenticate: curl --request POST \ --url https://apiius.ezvizlife.com/v3/users/login/v5 \ --header 'clienttype: 1' \ --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \ --header 'user-agent: EZVIZ/4.9.2 (iPhone; iOS 14.3; Scale/3.00)' \ --data account= \ --data featureCode= \ --data … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.

EZVIZ CP5 video doorphone	Won’t be supported	Video doorbells unsupported; needs RTSP; found 0 devices Saved copy Describe Your Problem: The plugin authenticates successfully with the EZVIZ API and detects my device (named CP5, EZVIZ CP5 video doorphone), but it reports the device component types as unsupported (DBScreen and BDoorBell) and skips them. As a result the CP5 is not exposed to HomeKit and the plugin reports Found 0 devices. I would like support for the EZVIZ CP5 (Video Doorphone) or guidance on how to map DBScreen and BDoorBell to HomeKit accessories (camera / doorbell / switch) or at least how to surface snapshots / doorbell events.

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.
