 | Eufy cameras | Per [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1graane/comment/lx4jo79), the community integration is hit or miss due to flakiness on the Eufy side. Disables RTSP if you don't let it phone home for more than 48 hours. Requires disabling a bunch of security stuff to access the RTSP stream even when it _does_ work. | 2024-11-15 | None |
