Apple HomeKit Aqara G410 5G

Hey all,

I have bought me a Aqara G410 and everything is working fine except Camera Live View in Apple HomeKit (Apple TV 4k 128GB). I am really out of ideas. When I am connected to my Wifi it is working fine.
As soon as I switch to 5G I cannot access the live view. Other Devices like a smart door lock is still accessible.
Also I can change settings of the G410 in HomeKit through 5G which, e.g. change streaming to streaming and recording.
I am using a Unifi cloud gateway ultra and changed the firewall rules already to any any.
I have no VPN running.
I have reset the Apple TV already.

The doorbell was first setup in the aqara app. After that I had set it up in HomeKit.
Within the Aqara App I can use Videostream over 5G without any issue.

Would be great if someone could give me new ideas…

Perhaps this video will help you?

Thank you very much for the video. I watched it and it is very interesting and I guess someday I will also create a IoT Network like this. But I will use Private Pre-Shared Keys, so I can use one SSID.

In the YT Clip he is just talking about internal connections and devices talking to the internet. In my case that worked. I actually have just one vlan. The Problem ist as soon as I am outside of my network it does not work. And here just the video.
Everything else ist working from outside.

Changing settings or uploading recorded clips usually happens via standard TCP/HTTPS.

The Apple TV (as Home Hub) uploads the HKSV live stream to iCloud, and this traffic often uses UDP (QUIC over UDP/443).

I would guess that UDP is blocked. Perhaps the firewall only allows TCP through, or IDS/IPS blocks this kind of outbound UDP/QUIC traffic.

I can access the HKSV Stream from external, if i choose “live” I get no response after about 20-30 seconds

I fixed the issue and hopefully I can someone help with this informations, because I had read a lot of things on the internet and nothing was addressing this issue…!

I was my MacBook / Apple Account which was causing the problem.

A few month ago I had installed open legacy patcher because I am on a MacBook 2017 and new OS was not supported.
I was playing around with the “spoof” option to get it working that my Apple Watch unlock my MacBook.
During that configuration I noticed that my iMessage and FaceTime was not working anymore on all my devices. I gave not much attention to this, because I do not use it.
BUT!
That was causing the problem that I could not stream video from the doorbell. Do not ask me what technically happens that this problem appear, because from my point of view it does not make much sense.

I installed the latest supported OS with my Macbook and deleted the old one from my account.
After that… Video instantly began to work from 5G!
And I could again activate iMessage and FaceTime again.

Because I wanted to know if I could reproduce the issue, I again installed 15.7.3 with open legacy patcher…
This time everything worked like expected.
