Integrating Foscam Webcam into Homematic: A Smooth Experience

I recently purchased a Foscam webcam and decided to integrate it into my Homematic system. While I’m still getting the hang of things, I wanted to share my experience and ask for some guidance.

First, I connected the Foscam to my router and ensured it was accessible via my local network. I then explored the Homematic interface to see how I could add this device. I came across the term ‘CUXD’ and wondered if it could help me integrate the webcam seamlessly. My goal is to view live images of the Foscam on my Homematic homescreen, which would be incredibly convenient for monitoring my property.

I’ve heard that Homematic supports various third-party devices through plugins or custom configurations, but I’m not entirely sure how to proceed with the Foscam. Are there specific settings or configurations I need to enable on the Foscam itself? Is there a recommended plugin or method to ensure smooth integration?

I’m also curious if there are alternative approaches or if others have successfully integrated Foscam webcams into their Homematic systems. Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated!

Looking forward to your insights and happy to share more details if needed. Thanks in advance for your help!
