integration |
The ffmpeg platform allows you to use any video or audio feed with FFmpeg for various sensors in Home Assistant.
If the ffmpeg process is broken, the sensor will be unavailable. To control the FFmpeg process of sensor, use the service ffmpeg.start, ffmpeg.stop, ffmpeg.restart.
Configuration
To add FFmpeg with noise detection to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: ffmpeg_noise
input: FFMPEG_SUPPORTED_INPUT
{% configuration %}
input:
description: An FFmpeg-compatible input file, stream, or feed.
required: true
type: string
name:
description: Override the name of your camera.
required: false
type: string
initial_state:
description: Start FFmpeg with home-assistant.
required: false
type: boolean
default: true
peak:
description: The threshold of detecting noise, in dB. 0 is very loud and -100 is low.
required: false
type: integer
default: -30
duration:
description: How long the noise needs to be over the peak to trigger the state.
required: false
type: integer
default: 1
reset:
description: The time to reset the state after no new noise is over the peak.
required: false
type: integer
default: 20
extra_arguments:
description: Extra options to pass to ffmpeg, like audio frequency filtering.
required: false
type: string
output:
description: Allows you to send the audio output of this sensor to an Icecast server or other FFmpeg-supported output, e.g., to stream with Sonos after a state is triggered.
required: false
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
To experiment with values:
ffmpeg -i YOUR_INPUT -vn -filter:a silencedetect=n=-30dB:d=1 -f null -
Troubleshooting
Unresponsive after a while
If the noise sensor becomes unresponsive, make sure you have extra_arguments: -nostats in the configuration.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: ffmpeg_noise
input: FFMPEG_SUPPORTED_INPUT
extra_arguments: -nostats
