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 -
