Imou for Home Assistant (built-in integration)

About

Imou is a built-in integration that connects Imou cameras and related devices to Home Assistant through the vendor's cloud. It adds live view cameras in HD and SD, plus PTZ and mute buttons for controlling a camera. Switches cover privacy mode, motion detection, human detection, audio recording, the indicator light, the white light, abnormal sound alarm and a plug switch. Selects handle volume, night vision mode and moving to a collection point, while sensors report status, storage used, energy consumption and usage duration. Setup happens in the UI with an app ID and app secret from the Imou cloud platform and a server region. New devices appear without setting the integration up again, and a diagnostics file can be downloaded for bug reports.
