Home Assistant with multiple ESP32 Cameras! (Part. 2)

In this project, we will configure the system to upload an image from an ESP32 camera through an MQTT broker and check it through Home Assistant. I believe it will be very helpful to configure your home security camera.

Glad to hear your voice again!

[@jeffking3693]

Yes thank you! I was about to ask for it back

[@aluminito]

Estoy de acuerdo contigo, es genial ver los videos con la voz original.

Great tutorial and hopefully we get support to add the XIAO ESP32-S3 SENSE to HA/ESPHome natively as is possible with the Generic ESP32-CAM boards. 🙏 Also, an alternative to using the RPi 4B would be the Orange Pi 5 variants as I migrated over and find its much faster for cheaper price, unless you manage to actually get a RPi at MSRP. 👍

I really like your projects 😊

[@ThatProject]

oh Thanks!

2.1-inch circular display with magnetic encoder knob using Can ESPHOME code and control rotary encoders and LCD displays? So, if I control it with the encoder, can I check the movement in the Home Assistant UI?

[@ThatProject]

Unfortunately I haven't tried ESPHome yet. I don't know about that.

Hello!! I love your videos! I've been looking for information about smart peepholes for days, but there is no "simple" peephole that doesn't look like these "super tech junk" and that can have a dead monitor and a direct link to HOME ASSISTANT. I have seen some of your videos and I wanted to ask you if there is an ESP32 with greater refreshment (so that the image looks more fluid) in a display on the door and that at the same time can send said information to HOME ASSISTANT!? All this with a single ESP32 and a 120-160º camera, is it possible?

[@ThatProject]

Unfortunately, we have not many options in the ESP32 environment. You can have new OV2640 with wide angle up to 160 I guess and also you can have OV5640 but seems like it has some issue.

Fantastic! Do you have any thoughts/videos on the pros and cons of transferring images via MQTT vs RTSP vs ESPHome camera sensor? I know for example the RTSP server is quite memory hungry. Any other considerations?

[@ThatProject]

So far, I got a chance to do a couple of projects with MQTT and RTSP but not ESPHome. I believe you can find these projects on my channel. Interesting question. well, it really depends on how you set or plan your project. MQTT is a kind of broadcasting data with a specific topic. Especially, the data packet should be very lightweight. So transferring images via MQTT is not that recommended. If your plan is making something like a security camera then you need to go with RTSP protocol. It can be more reliable.

How about using Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3 Sense in HA? Can you make it to recognize the camera?

[@ThatProject]

You mean the face recognition for HA?

Are you Japanse?

Nah, I'm not.
