Logi Circle

There is an active alert for this integration!
LEARN MORE

The logi_circle implementation allows you to integrate your Logi Circle cameras in Home Assistant. To connect Logi Circle, you will have to sign up for API access and get a client_id, client_secret and api_key.

Requesting API access

  1. Navigate to the Circle OAuth2 Client Request Form.
  2. Fill out your contact name and e-mail address.
  3. For the User Visible Client Name, specify “Home Assistant”
  4. Request the following scopes:
    • circle:activities
    • circle:accessories
    • circle:live_image
    • circle:live
    • circle:notifications
    • circle:summaries
  5. Request the authorization_code grant type.
  6. For the redirect URI, specify your Home Assistant URL followed by /api/logi_circle. For example, if your Home Assistant URL is https://abc123.ui.nabu.casa, then request https://abc123.ui.nabu.casa/api/logi_circle. The redirect URI must meet the following criteria:
  • The URL must be HTTPS with a SSL certificate issued by a trusted CA (i.e., trusted by normal browsers).
  • At the time you submit your request to Logitech, you need to demonstrate that you have exclusive control of the fully qualified domain name in your redirect URI. An active Home Assistant instance at the redirect URI will suffice. If you don’t want to expose your Home Assistant instance publicly, you may also place a static page at the redirect URI with a short message that you will manage redirection of the authorization token to your local Home Assistant instance. Free static hosts that issue subdomains for hosting (e.g., Netlify) are permitted.
  • As the redirect URI must be public facing, no local/reserved TLDs are permitted (eg. .local, .localhost, .example, etc. are not allowed).

Please note that the turn-around time for API access takes up to a month after which you will be contacted by Logitech using the email address you provided in the form.

Configuration

To integrate cameras linked with your Logi Circle account, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
logi_circle:
  client_id: YOUR_CLIENT_ID
  client_secret: YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
  api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
  redirect_uri: YOUR_REDIRECT_URI

Configuration Variables

Looking for your configuration file?
client_id string Required

The client ID issued to you by Logitech.

client_secret string Required

The client secret issued to you by Logitech.

api_key string Required

The API key issued to you by Logitech.

redirect_uri string Required

The redirect URI that corresponds to your Home Assistant instance. It must match one of the redirect URIs specified when you requested API access from Logitech.

Camera

The logi_circle camera platform allows you to view still frames from your Logi Circle camera’s live stream in Home Assistant.

Logi Circle cameras support the camera.turn_on and camera.turn_off services. This will set the streaming mode property of your camera accordingly, controlling whether the live stream is available and activity recordings are captured.

Sensor

The logi_circle sensor platform lets you monitor sensors connected to your Logi Circle cameras in Home Assistant.

To customize which sensors are setup, you can extend the Logi Circle integration configuration in your configuration.yaml file with the following settings:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
logi_circle:
  sensors:
    monitored_conditions:
      - battery_level
      - last_activity_time
      - recording
      - signal_strength_category
      - signal_strength_percentage
      - streaming

By default, all sensors available from your Logi Circle devices will be monitored. Leave monitored_conditions blank to disable all sensors for the Logi Circle integration. Devices without an internal battery will not expose a battery_level sensor.

Configuration Variables

Looking for your configuration file?
sensor map (Optional)

Configuration to pass to all sensors.

monitored_conditions list (Optional, default: all)

The conditions to create sensors from.

battery_level

Returns the battery level percentage from the camera.

last_activity_time

Return the timestamp from the last time the Logi Circle camera detected any activity.

recording

The camera’s recording mode. If false, the camera will not capture activities.

signal_strength_category

Return the Wi-Fi signal level from the camera.

signal_strength_percentage

Return the Wi-Fi signal percentage from the camera.

streaming

The soft on/off status of the camera.

Services

The logi_circle platform exposes 3 services for interacting with your Logi Circle device. When calling a service with one or more entity IDs, please ensure you target the camera entity (eg. camera.living_room_camera).

Service logi_circle.livestream_record

Initiates a recording of the camera’s live stream.

Service data attribute Optional Description
entity_id yes Name(s) of entities to initiate a recording for, e.g., camera.living_room_camera. If blank, targets all Logi Circle cameras.
filename no Template of a file name. Variable is entity_id, e.g., /tmp/recording_{{ entity_id }}.mp4.
duration no Duration of recording, in seconds.

The path part of filename must be an entry in the allowlist_external_dirs in your homeassistant: section of your configuration.yaml file.

Service logi_circle.livestream_snapshot

Take a snapshot from a camera’s live stream. This differs from the generic snapshot service in that explicitly requests a fresh image from Logi Circle’s API. This will force cameras in a deep sleep state to wake.

Please note that new snapshots will only be generated if the cached snapshot is older than 30s. Requesting multiple snapshots in quick succession will likely return the same image. Likewise, requesting a snapshot from a camera that is actively streaming (ie. is not in deep sleep) will return a cached image no older than 30s.

Service data attribute Optional Description
entity_id yes Name(s) of entities to create a live stream snapshot from, e.g., camera.living_room_camera. If blank, targets all Logi Circle cameras.
filename no Template of a file name. Variable is entity_id, e.g., /tmp/snapshot_{{ entity_id }}.jpg.

The path part of filename must be an entry in the allowlist_external_dirs in your homeassistant: section of your configuration.yaml file.

Service logi_circle.set_config

Sets a configuration property for your camera.

Service data attribute Optional Description
entity_id yes Name(s) of entities to set the operation mode for, e.g., camera.living_room_camera. If blank, targets all Logi Circle cameras.
mode no Configuration property to set. Allowed values: LED, RECORDING_MODE
value no Mode value. Allowed values: true, false
