Does not work with Home Assistant
Not recommended for new purchases
Description
Yi discontinued the legacy cloud platform for this camera line and never shipped an official Home Assistant API, leaving only community firmware hacks that are no longer reliable.
Highlights
- 1080p video stream (night vision ready)
- Mobile app with push notifications
- Optional RTSP firmware for local NVR setups
⚙️ Requires custom firmware for Home Assistant support.
Once the custom firmware is installed, the camera exposes an RTSP stream that can be ingested with the
camera integration.generic
Compatibility notes
Yi Cloud is deprecated and there is no official Home Assistant integration; only unsupported firmware hacks remain.
