EZVIZ
ezviz
The EZVIZ integration uses the ezvizlife.com API to interact with the devices. It also exposes an RTSP stream, by using the local camera IPs (so the device hosting Home Assistant has to be able to access the local IP of the cameras).
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.

What people report
EZVIZ works through the cloud, with RTSP for streams. Firmware updates disabled RTSP on some cameras until LAN Live View is enabled; Zigbee sub-devices are unsupported.

| EZVIZ camera | Partly works | Partly in Home Stream spins unless VPN paused; works for partner without VPN | Camera exposed via HomeKit Bridge; no audio reportedSaved copyThe problem I recently moved over to HA from Homebridge (woop!). I have tried to move my camera's from HA (either with Generic Camera or EZVIZ integrations) to "Home" using HomeKit integration. Set up camera as an accessory. Gets added just fine. When I open Home.app on my iPhone the camera doesnt load, and I just get a grey spinny wheel. As soon as I pause / stop VPN on my iPhone the stream loads within a couple of seconds. I had the same issue in Homebridge previously. However, when I got a Homekit hub (Homepod Mini) that seemed to solve this issue. However the Homepod mini is as it was … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #75336 · 2022-07 |
| EZVIZ A3 gateway Zigbee sensors (T2C, leak, siren) | Requested Cloud | Not exposed; draft PR openSaved copySummary The EZVIZ integration today is built around cameras (and related cloud account data). Zigbee sub-devices paired to an EZVIZ A3 gateway, including T2C (CS-T2C) door/window contacts, water leak sensors, and the siren, are not surfaced in Home Assistant as first-class entities. State for these devices is available via the same EZVIZ cloud APIs the app uses (e.g. pagelist / per-device `FEATURE_INFO` such as `DoorMagnetic` / door status for contacts). This request is to add support so these sensors are discovered and represented (e.g. binary sensors / appropriate device classes) when … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #166295 · 2026-03 |
