The Terminal area may show an authentication failure and prompt you to log in to the Scrypted Management Console with npx scrypted login. You will only need to do this once. You can then relaunch afterwards. The command if your scrypted instance is remote is npx scrypted login ip:port
- Launch Scrypted, go to "Devices"
- You should see a device named
Nanit Camera Plugin, click it - Enter your email and password on the right, then click save.
- You'll receive the mfa token enter that in the "Two Factor Code" and click save again
- Wait a few seconds then reload the page: Refresh Token, Access Token and Expiration should all have values
- Now go back to devices and you should see a new device that is named the same as your Nanit Device. Click it and then click the video and it should be streaming!
If you aren't seeing the video load, first try clearing the Expiration value in the Nanit Camera Plugin and click save. This will force the plugin to get a new token.
If you are still having issues then clear the access_token and refresh_token values and click save.
Finally, Login again with your username and password + two factor auth by following instructions in above section
It is currently setup as a Battery camera in Scrypted. The only reason this is done is so that Scrypted doesn't pre-buffer. When the camera is not battery Scrypted will stay connected to the stream 24/7, instead of on demand when the rtsp/homekit stream is requested. I suspect if we stay connected to the Nanit stream 24/7 they would take notice eventually.
If you want to disable this. Remove the ScryptedInterface.Battery from line main.ts.
const interfaces = [
ScryptedInterface.Camera,
ScryptedInterface.VideoCamera,
ScryptedInterface.MotionSensor,
ScryptedInterface.Battery //REMOVE THIS
];
The Snapshot Photos are not working right now. You may see a "Failed Snapshot" screen until I can get that working.
- Under the camera, make sure the rebroadcast plugin is enabled.
- In the Camera settings go to the Stream and there should be a "RTSP Rebroadcast URL" box. Copy that value
- In HomeAssistant add a camera entity -> https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/generic/
- The copied value is your "stream source"
