  Homebridge Plugin Providing FFmpeg-based Camera Support

So I bought a couple TP-link C100 cameras and paired them with Homebridge and Homekit with the camera-ffmpeg plugin. Everything works fine, except motion detection. I’ve tried the suggested workaround creating a dummy companion switch for the cameras, the switch gets created but only triggers a notification if I trigger it manually.

  Motion detector camera plugin for Homebridge

There are two other workarounds suggested on the camera-ffmpeg website—MQTT and HTTP—but I haven’t seen any option regarding those in the TP-link app, they’re pretty basic I doubt it’s something they implement. I’ve also just came across the homebridge-camera-motion plugin, haven’t installed it yet (documentation is rather brief..) so not sure about that one.
