python-aidot

Control AIDOT WiFi lights and cameras from Python and Home Assistant.

This is a camera-capable fork of the upstream lights-only python-aidot. It adds live WebRTC video streaming (DTLS and SDES-SRTP paths), snapshots, PTZ, camera controls, cloud recordings/thumbnails, and two-way (push-to-talk) audio, plus a Home Assistant custom component that exposes all of it.

Library install

The camera support is not published to PyPI (PyPI only has the upstream lights-only releases). Install this fork's library directly from the repo:

# lights + camera cloud/control only:
pip install "git+https://github.com/cbrightly/python-AiDot"
# add live WebRTC streaming, snapshots, and two-way audio:
pip install "python-aidot[webrtc] @ git+https://github.com/cbrightly/python-AiDot"

Home Assistant component

The custom component lives in custom_components/aidot/. Its manifest.json lists the third-party Python dependencies (aiortc, av, paho-mqtt, …) so Home Assistant installs those automatically, but the aidot library itself is not on PyPI - install it into Home Assistant's Python environment first:

# inside the HA venv / container
pip install "python-aidot[webrtc] @ git+https://github.com/cbrightly/python-AiDot"

Then copy custom_components/aidot/ into your HA config/custom_components/ folder (or add this repo to HACS as a custom repository) and restart Home Assistant.

CLI

test_camera.py exercises the camera features directly - discovery, LAN probe, WebRTC streaming, snapshots, recordings, attribute get/set, and two-way audio (--talk). Run python test_camera.py --help for the full list.
