Overview

Nest_accfactory

This is a HAP-NodeJS accessory I have developed to allow Nest devices to be used with HomeKit including having support for HomeKit Secure Video on doorbells and camera devices

HomeKit Secure Video Support is disabled by default and needs to be explicitly enabled by the user

Supported Devices

The following Nest devices are supported

  • Nest Thermostats (Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, E)
  • Nest Protects (Gen 1, Gen 2)
  • Nest Temp Sensors
  • Nest Cameras (Cam Indoor, IQ Indoor, Outdoor, IQ Outdoor)
  • Nest Hello (Wired Gen 1)

The accessory supports connection to Nest using a Nest account OR a Google (migrated Nest account) account.

Configuration

Nest_config.json is the configuration file where various options can be. An example of a basic configuration is below

{
    "SessionToken" : "<nest session token>",
    "HKSV" : true,
    "H264Encoder" : "copy"
}

An advanced configuration example is below

{
    "SessionToken" : "<nest session token>",
    "HKSV" : false,
    "H264Encoder" : "copy",
    "SERIAL1" : {
        "Exclude" : true
    },
    "SERIAL2" : {
        "HKSV" : true,
        "MotionCoolDown" : 2
    },
}

The options available are within the configuration file are listed below. Some of these options can also be on specific devices only

Caveats

Nest_accfactory is a hobby project of mine, provided as-is, with no warranty whatsoever. I've been running it successfully at my home, but your mileage might vary.

  • 'No Response' when viewing live feed

    'No Response' when viewing live feed

    After a few hours of running, the video stops working.

    The snapshot shows "Now" with the last retrieved image which in this case is from a few hours ago, however, clicking on the thumbnail to view live feed, it's shows 'No Response'. image Note - covered the images with white boxes. The point is to highlight "Now"

    image

    From the logs, all I can see:

    [HDS ::ffff:192.168.1.192] Delegate yielded fragment after stream 1 was already closed!
[HDS ::ffff:192.168.1.192] Delegate finished recording stream 1 without sending anything out.       Controller will CANCEL.

  • Selected RTP Stream Configuration' on the accessory 'Nest Doorbell D567' was slow to respond

    Selected RTP Stream Configuration' on the accessory 'Nest Doorbell D567' was slow to respond

    Hi, I have installed the Docker for this, added my cameras (Nest Hello and Home Hub Max) however when I enter the camera in Home, the stream freezes after 10 seconds. Docker log shows the following:

    [Nest Doorbell D567@Selected RTP Stream Configuration] The write handler for the characteristic 'Selected RTP Stream Configuration' on the accessory 'Nest Doorbell D567' was slow to respond!

    my config file is: CA4BEF35-15E6-4A95-8903-214A92BE8840

    I previously had HomeBridge running with the cameras in the HomeBridge Nest Cam plugin working ok in a Docker on another Proxmox LXC. I have shutdown that LXC, restarted this Docker and tried again but get the same error. I have also tried all 3 config options for H264Encoder but find “copy” to be the only encoder to work.

    Any suggestions?

  • HomeKit Setup Code?

    HomeKit Setup Code?

    Hi, I have installed the Docker container version, updated config, and when I go to Home I can see the camera to add to HomeKit. The problem is, I don’t know where/how to get the HomeKit Setup Code to finish adding the camera to HomeKit. Where do I get that from? I’m running Portainer and can see in the loggers the setup has gone ok but I cannot attach to a terminal (assuming that would be where I see the code) or see any codes in the logs

    Recordings randomly complete with "UNEXPECTED_FAILURE"

    HKSV recordings seem to randomly complete sometimes with an "UNEXPECTED_FAILURE" error. Usually appears to happen when something detected in the video stream by the Nest camera (coincidence??)
