How to configure webrtc card for P2P-only device?

[slymas]

Hey all,

I have recently set up this integration for my cameras, using the default WebRTC config. I have multiple Eufycam2 devices (T8114-Z and T8114), and 1 Doorbell S330 (T8213). I enabled RTSP stream for all the Eufycam2s in the configuration but it seems like the doorbell only supports P2P. Then, I added the following cards for all my cameras:

type: custom:webrtc-camera
entity: camera.doorbell
poster: image.doorbell_event_image
ui: true
shortcuts:
  - name: Play
    icon: mdi:play
    service: camera.turn_on
    service_data:
      entity_id: camera.doorbell
  - name: Stop
    icon: mdi:stop
    service: camera.turn_off
    service_data:
      entity_id: camera.doorbell

The Eufycam2s are streaming fine, even without lowering the video settings, the stream gets running almost quicker than in the Eufy app. However, the Doorbell has issues starting the streams: it gives a grey image first and then the image appears if I move between tabs or reload the dash without stopping the stream. I get a nice image from the doorbell if I first start the stream via the "start p2p stream" diagnostic entity and then open the dash.

And now comes my problem: if I try using the start_rtsp_livestream, or start_p2p_livestream services on my webrtc card it fails with "unknown service" or similar. I checked the code of this repo briefly and it seems like the livestream services are in https://github.com/fuatakgun/eufy_security/blob/master/custom_components/eufy_security/services.yaml, but the turn_on isn't. So I am probably pulling the services from the wrong file (I am still just starting out with HA and don't know much about dashboards and cards).

My questions are:

• Should turn_on work as expected with a P2P-only device?
• How can I modify my card to start the stream for the doorbell right away?

• turn_on will either initiate supported streaming functionality, priority is on rtsp, if not supported, falls back to p2p. turn_on service is inherited from camera entity, (camera.turn_on) but not created by this integration
• p2p based devices are not designed for 24/7 streaming, so you should use turn_on / turn_off (or start_p2p_livestream / stop_p2p_livestream) for streaming.

Thanks for the answer but I still don't know what do I have to do differently. I use turn_on/turn_off, which as you said, should fall back to p2p and do that.
