go2rtc is an open source project providing a camera streaming application that supports formats such as RTSP, WebRTC, HomeKit, FFmpeg, RTMP. The go2rtc {% term integration %} connects to a go2rtc instance and provides a WebRTC proxy for all your cameras. To learn more about go2rtc, refer to the project's GitHub page.

If you are using the default_config and run Home Assistant using one of the following installation methods, the go2rtc integration will be set up automatically and you don't need to do anything:

• {% term "Home Assistant Operating System" %}
• {% term "Home Assistant Supervised" %}
• {% term "Home Assistant Container" %}

Configuration

This integration is part of the default_config.

The following YAML options are available:

{% configuration %} debug_ui: required: false description: Enables the UI of the go2rtc, which helps debugging WebRTC issues. The debug_ui should only be enabled during debugging as it will expose port 11984 without any authentication! default: false type: boolean url: required: false description: The URL to the self-hosted go2rtc server type: string {% endconfiguration %}

If you using the go2rtc server managed by Home Assistant, please be aware that all ports are prefixed by 1 compared to the default port settings to avoid port conflicts:

• Api port 1984 becomes 11984
• WebRTC port 8555 becomes 18555

{% warning %}

The debug_ui should only be enabled during debugging as it will expose port 11984 without any authentication! Please disable the debug_ui immediately after debugging.

{% endwarning %}

Examples

Use a self-hosted instance:

go2rtc:
  url: http://my-go2rtc-instance:1984
