If I buy 70W USB‑C power adapter for my Mac M1 I can take advantage of this charging speed or it will be restricted

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

@TechGameDev no, it won’t supply more than your laptop can take

[@TechGameDev]

@@ToolsElectroDIY thank you bro

[@brucerandell9237]

Does this work for the eufy duel door cam?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

No the door bell doesn't support HomeKit.

So if I have the HomeBase 2 can I add non-HomeKit cameras Eufy cameras into HomeKit? That wasn’t 100% clear in your video. I have a HomeBase 3 and about 8 cameras but only my indoor cameras are in HomeKit now.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

HomeBase 3 won't work. Here's the complete list of eufy HomeKit support support.eufy.com/s/article/Which-eufy-cameras-work-with-HomeKit

[@Technology-pe6rc]

What’s so good about apple home kit compared to using the eufy app

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

try it

[@AntoineReid]

Are you able to simply add Eufy cameras to Homekit, or is that only availble with a HomeBase on your network? I couldn't find any information on Eufy's website confirming that the cameras are Homekit compatible.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Only the ones I'm using support HomeKit.

[@momoringgaming5014]

the video ended abruptly so i would like to ask, at the very last part of your video you showed home settings. what can be set here? like, can you specify which camera will be displayed (on the home screen) or not?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Just a generic Apple Home settings. You don't need cameras to see them. It contains some personal info so I didn't show it.

[@momoringgaming5014]

@@ToolsElectroDIYi see. thank you for your reply. was there a setting(anywhere in the app) that limits the camera that will be displayed on the home screen?

[@edndomotique9556]

Nice video … i’ve for 3 eufy cam 2 C Pro … do you have a solution to create shortcut with Apple Shortcuts ? Eufy application dont exist in shortcut …i watt an automation to active Security mode …. Thanks

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

What are the shortcuts for? I don’t have a solution for that.

[@edndomotique9556]

Make a shortcut Apple with security mode eufy + Philips hue + Somfy Alarm …. just on click for all action when i leave home for’example …

[@edndomotique9556]

Nice video . Can we see Eufy HomeBase on HomeKit , or we can only see caméras ? Thanks

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

we can see cameras only in the HomeKit.

[@kingkiril]

Will it show time stamp and date info in home app? When you save video does it show time?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

I don't see a timestamp on the video.

[@cardinals22]

can i use multiple E220 cameras without HomeBase with HomeKit?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

No. The homebase must be used.

[@laurarm771]

Thank you for the video it was super helpful!!! I do have a question: I bought an Eufy compatible with HomeKit, but I want to watch the live streaming from my Apple Watch when away from home (not having my phone near) I don’t know what’s best if the Eufy home base or Apple TV? Any advise ?? Thanks

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

As long as you can run the Apple Home app, you can view the livestream from the cameras.

[@laurarm771]

Omg thank you for replying !!! I can only see it in my Apple Watch when I am using the same WiFi, as soon as I leave home I get the “no response” I was googling the subject and it said that either I get a home base or the Apple TV 😢 Do you think this is true ??

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

@@laurarm771 Oh yes you need a home base to use Apple Home for sure. Just get the cheapest one, the Apple HomePod mini.

[@christinerasmussen6802]

How many eufy cameras can you put on the HomeKit? Like 10?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

eufy HomeBase 2 supports up to 16 cameras +16 entry sensors +15 motion sensors + 3 keypads.

[@twiki1963]

With iCloud+ it depends on your storage plan. 50GB plan allows 1 camera. 200GB plan allows up to 5 cameras. 2TB plan allows unlimited cameras.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

@@twiki1963 I didn’t know that thanks

[@MiyaMizuza]

Great video!

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@siretho1]

do i need that security base station, or can i just buy a single camera and use homekit with it?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Base required

[@kleptodathief3946]

@@ToolsElectroDIY u don't need a base! i was able to add the eufy cam to with just my iphone to homekit app and stream it on my apple 4k tv box but now it doesn't work lol...i think apple killed it

[@walberg61]

this screen on 2.10 where is it! i cannot find it!

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

no idea what you are talking about.

[@walberg61]

@@ToolsElectroDIY Hmm, seems the doorbell 340 camera does not have Apple Homekit support. Only the other camera's

[@Serkieee2]

So i see that homebase 3 is not supported by homekit. Nor do the video doorbells/ new cameras😭 could only set up de wireless one like yours on the right bottom indoor cam

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Yes, that’s correct

[@ThugDrama]

It’s supported now

[@SkyWarrior2000]

Thanks for the sharing. Have you considered writing a plugin of Scrypted for Eufy cameras? Then the live stream for multiple cameras in one screen may become true.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

no

[@a.n5414]

Hi, is it possible to trigger the detecting functions of the E220 by the Eufy Motionsensor, through homebase OR just simply by connecting the motion sensor directly to the E220? OR through Apple Homekit? Thanks a lot! 😊

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Not possible

[@justspaztik]

Can you use the panning options within HomeKit?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

no

[@xDhii]

Not able to multiple stream at same time? That's crap.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

No

[@reefhound9902]

No timestamp is a deal killer.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

I agree. It could be a limitation of HomeKit. Do you know if other brands support that in HomeKit?

[@reefhound9902]

@@ToolsElectroDIY those conditions listed look like they com from Homekit but other videos claim that is just set by default and it can be changed.
