This integration seems to work pretty well, but is really hard for people to get up and running from everything I've read. This is not a criticism of the work that has been/is being done, just some suggestions.
The setup procedure seems too sparse. I am pretty computer/technically literate and it took me awhile to discover that the add-on IP address listed (127.0.0.1) must be only for certain types of HA installations because I had to use my actual IP address instead. I have read posts from others with similar issues.
The webrtc-camera card setup does not work (for me). First of all, the poster image of event_image leaves my backyard camera un-updated for days or weeks at a time. Where are "snapshot" images stored/accessed instead? The camera.turn_on causes an unknown homeassistant error for me. I use switch.toggle with entity_id switch.camera_rtsp_stream and I had to manually enable that switch to get rtsp streaming to work at all.
The camera cards, when not streaming, usually have some sort of error (usually "wrong response on DESCRIBE" instead of just being a picture (again, how to manually update snapshots?) Also, my event image, which is all I have for a snapshot currently, is usually way zoomed in for some reason, which I absolutely cannot figure out. I really like the example at the bottom of the git, but could you include the code used to achieve it? Mine looks like this:
It usually takes multiple reloads to get the rtc stream started and I'm not sure why. Lots of "wrong response on DESCRIBE" and just stuck on "loading...". Works perfectly once finally loaded, but even though I have an automation to generate an image (eufy_security.generate_image) my thumbnail never updates. If I try to use a snapshot, I keep getting an invalid path error (that is more my issue, but would be nice if it could be addressed if it's a possibility of using with this integration)
Again, please don't read any of this as criticism. The integration is amazing and I truly appreciate all the work put into it. I would just like it to be a little more end-user friendly and better documented so more people could enjoy it. Thanks.
