Netatmo Welcome Camera Guide

[ben53252642]

Hey Folks,

I've bought a Netatmo Welcome camera, this is a guide for integrating the live snapshot into Domoticz using the camera's local IP address:

Step 1: Get your Home ID
1) Login here using Google Chrome:
https://my.netatmo.com/app/camera
2) Click the gear Icon and a popup settings box will appear
3) Right click on "Location" and select inspect, about 2 lines up from the default highlight you will see "href="/settingscamera/localisation/YOURHOMEID"

Step 2: Get your cameras local IP access details:
1) Go to this url and make sure you are logged in or you can't use the tool: https://dev.netatmo.com/dev/resources/t ... ethomedata
2) You will see a large grey area on the page titled "Try this method by yourself with our TRY IT module.", that's what we want to do, put in your Home_ID and click try it.
3) You will see "body" highlighted in red, click the right point arrow next to it, the path we want is:
body > homes > cameras > object >
4) Copy your VPN url and add this to the end of it: ,/live/files/high/index_local.m3u8
So your url should look something like:

Code: Select all

https://0.vpn.netatmo.net/10.255.0.1/52ced8bcc8149089968095f995XXXXXX/ur8YcNFRXOyPTHONKZeeHXXXXX,/live/files/high/index_local.m3u8

5) The response you get in the browser will show URL's similar to this and include a local IP access key (this is what we want)

Code: Select all

http://LOCALIP/ACCESSKEY/live/files/high/live0000006692.ts

6) Using the access key, we can get the local live snapshot from the camera which allows us to integrate it into Domoticz camera section:

Code: Select all

http://LOCALIP/ACCESSKEY/live/snapshot_720.jpg

7) In Domoticz add camera wizard, you enter it like this:

If you want to get the live stream in high quality from the local IP, this is the URL for the m3u8

Code: Select all

http://LOCALIP/ACCESSKEY/live/files/high/index.m3u8

Other:
1) The unit appears to require the MicroSD card to be inserted to view the live snapshot or m3u8 either locally or via the Netatmo VPN url method. Removing the card and rebooting resulted in a unit that could be pinged but local access displayed a 404 - Not Found and access via Netatmo VPN resulted in 502 Bad Gateway.

↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑
I am a bit concerned about live snapshots not working without the MicroSD card, this would appear to indicate that the snapshots are being written to the MicroSD card which is not really an ideal design since a snapshot being temporary should be written directly into RAM to minimise wear and tear on the MicroSD limited life span. I've reached out to Netatmo here to see if we can get an answer.

2) The camera jpg and m3u8 can still be accessed locally without an internet connection however after rebooting the unit with its internet connection blocked I was unable to access any local URL's. Unblocking the internet connection and opening ports 500 and 4500 udp, and rebooting the unit once again allowed me to access the local IP urls.

Thank you! I had been looking for a way to get the access token for a while. Cheers!

Thank you, really works like a charme with a Welcome and my two Presence, Frontdoor and Backdoor are covered and the frontgarden and backgarden as well. My neightbour isn't happy, now he can't do anything in my garden without me noticing him doing things without deliberation with me

[ricorico94]

Wonderful!! Thanks a lot !

One comment: maybe URL chanegd since your post or maybe I did not fully follow it. But to reach the "try me" button (Step 2 / 1) ), I had to go to this URL instead of yours:

https://dev.netatmo.com/resources/techn ... ethomedata

By the way, I don't yet understand the mechanisms of webhooks and things like that.. If you already know how to bypass the centralized servers so that the Welcome camera can directly send a notification to Domoticz when someone is recognized, I'd appreciate your help..

I'm afraid its not working any more - at step 4, I get a Forbidden message (ngix).

Notably, the URL in step 3 already has two commas at the end of it - trying all combinations I could think of didn't get past this.

[dextm80]

hi guys, get the snapshot in the browser but not in domoticz, video stream don't show in domoticz

can you help me?

I first had that ngnix error aswell, but the url was wrong. I use this one and it worked: xc7g,,/live/files/high/index_local.m3u8

So, 2 comma's ,,

I have the same problem. Any help ?

[pipiche]

looks like it is outdated and doesn't work. Netatmo seems to have changed their APIs

[dextm80]

for me works ok

[pipiche]

for me works ok

May be because you did it already, but on my side when I try to access step2 and especially the dev.netatmo URL, this doesn't show what is expected !

Step 2: Get your cameras local IP access details:
1) Go to this url and make sure you are logged in or you can't use the tool: https://dev.netatmo.com/dev/resources/t ... ethomedata
2) You will see a large grey area on the page titled "Try this method by yourself with our TRY IT module.", that's what we want to do, put in your Home_ID and click try it.
3) You will see "body" highlighted in red, click the right point arrow next to it, the path we want is:
body > homes > cameras > object >
4) Copy your VPN url and add this to the end of it: ,/live/files/high/index_local.m3u8

[dextm80]

Ready, this link is outdated, you ve to search manually it.....
I will try, if i ve a couple of time, to post exactly link

[pipiche]

Don't know if that is usefull for you, but I found a github API, where they are showing how to interact with their differents APIs

[pipiche]

Looks like the URL is :

https://dev.netatmo.com/resources/techn ... ethomedata

[dextm80]

Looks like the URL is :

https://dev.netatmo.com/resources/techn ... ethomedata

exactly, thanks

[pipiche]

Looks that is not enought. When I copy-paste the URL + ,/live/files/high/index_local.m3u8 it's open a stream and start vLC

So I'm stuck for now!

[photography33]

i newli did these step, and succeed .. thanks for this nice information

I also done but not working on my side. how did you do this? Please share with me as well

[JMI69]

Any news about this issue ?

In Step 2.4 the proposed URL start with:
https://v7.netatmo.net/restricted/10.255.21.................

Using this URL within a browser the result is: 403 Forbidden - nginx

any idea how to solve this ??

Very helpful guide.

I also added switches to turn on/off cameras from domoticz:
