Integrate OpenIPC into HomeKit
Currently OpenIPC doesn't have native HomeKit support yet, integration is made by 3rd party package go2rtc, thanks @gtxaspec for adding this package into OpenIPC
Hardware requirement
Since the compiled binary file will 3.3MB in size, flash chip size should be 16MB at least, DDR size should be 128MB at least
Compile go2rtc package
Install go and upx first
apt update
apt install golang upx
-
Method 1: Compile the whole firmware
Edit board config file in firmware/br-ext-chip-xxxx/configs directory, add the following line to enable the go2rtc package
BR2_PACKAGE_GO2RTC=y
then run
make distclean
make all BOARD=board_config_name
-
Method2: Compile the package only
make distclean
make br-go2rtc-rebuild BOARD=board_config_name
The compiled go2rtc binary file will located at firmware/output/per-package/go2rtc/target/usr/bin, default config file at firmware/output/per-package/go2rtc/target/etc
Edit config file
Put config file go2rtc.yaml into /etc/ directory, example config:
log:
level: info # default level
api: trace
exec: debug
ngrok: info
rtsp: warn
streams: error
webrtc: fatal
rtsp:
listen: ":8553"
webrtc:
candidates:
- stun:8555
streams:
openipc: rtsp://admin:12345@127.0.0.1/stream=0
homekit:
openipc: # same stream ID from streams list
pin: 19550224 # custom PIN, default: 19550224
name: openipc-ssc30kq # custom camera name, default: generated from stream ID
device_id: openipc # custom ID, default: generated from stream ID
Run go2rtc
/usr/bin/go2rtc -config /etc/go2rtc.yaml &
Open the Home app on your Apple device, click the + button on the top-right corner, the OpenIPC camera should appear there automatically, enter the pin numbers in the config file to pair with it.
Autorun on startup
Add the following lines into /etc/rc.local
/usr/bin/go2rtc -config /etc/go2rtc.yaml &
Limitations
- No HomeKit Secure Video support yet
- No motion sensor support yet
- No two-way audio support yet
