Hey everyone! I wanted to share my recent success in integrating my INSTAR Full HD camera with Homey using MQTT. It’s been a fantastic addition to my smart home setup, and I thought I’d walk through the process in case anyone else is looking to do the same.First off, I stumbled upon the public beta for the INSTAR MQTT service and decided to give it a shot. The firmware update was straightforward, and once it was installed, I followed the guide provided by the community. The setup involved configuring the camera’s MQTT broker settings and linking it to my Homey gateway. It took a bit of tweaking, but everything fell into place.One of the most impressive features is the ability to control the camera directly from the Homey dashboard. I can now view live snapshots, set up motion detection alerts, and even automate certain actions based on detected movements. It’s incredibly satisfying to have all my devices, including my cameras, seamlessly integrated into one system.For anyone looking to try this out, here are a few tips:- Make sure your camera’s firmware is up to date before starting the MQTT setup.- Double-check your MQTT broker settings to avoid any connection issues.- Explore the community forums for additional configurations and troubleshooting tips.If you have any questions or need help with the integration, feel free to reach out! I’d be happy to assist. Happy automating!
