Eufy is like the Internet Explorer of the IoT world. Slow, siloed and deaf to customer demands. Letās see if they also fade into irrelevance. They probably will if they donāt start listening and upping the pace of development to address customer demands - SmartThings, IFTTT, proper Google Assistant integration, Windows app etc.

I need this system to integrate with LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE. I want a light to go off when my camera detects motion, or a soft chime to sound. I need notification where the cameras ARE, not on my phone in my pocket.

Create and share secure API access so that the community can build or IFTT, Smartthings, etc integrations.

The only reason why I decided to join the Eufy ecosystem and that I was expecting that it will be available via Smartthings. You can unlock so much potential by doing so, Eufy! Great for the visibility of the company too.

I really wouldnāt waste your breath on asking for any form of integration that makes the Eufy ecosystem compatible with another. This means no IFTTT, no API (other than the reverse-engineered options around the place) and basically, zero ability to quickly arm or disarm the home security system you paid out good money for in the first place. I know, Iāve been following this closely for a long time now and have had the discussion many times, all to no avail. The facts are -

Anker/Eufy promised IFTTT integration from the outset. They have not delivered it and have no current intentions of doing so. This is what we as customers call a blatant lie, a failure to act upon your stated intentions thus reducing the functional value of the investment.

I have spent much time relaying the weight of feeling to Eufy Customer Service. They dance around the handbags and promise to always stand behind their product and pass the details on to those responsible for improving the product. But the light of reality shines bright; in actual fact the only thing Eufy wanted to do was pay me off, offering me a 20% refund in lieu of the promised functionality. Not a very enthusing option for any prospective customer methinks?

Now Anker/Eufy just stonewall anyone who raises the question or posts wanting an update.
The whole episode leaves me cold Iām afraid. I have a very significant investment in this brand of security equipment with no straightforward way of arming the system when I leave the house (other than changing the status of numerous devices on a one-by-one basis).
So. Iāve given up waiting. I wonāt call anymore because I know the answer. But I will ensure that everyone who asks me about my security system, cameraās and home automation gets an honest review of Eufy from the outset. Donāt do it.

I completely agree with the statement of the previous user. I too have invested a significant amount in the ecosystem, relying on the promise that the company will see the immense opportunity to expand itās exposure by being part of platforms such as Smartthings or IFTTT. No such efforts has been made. The cumbersome process of changing security modes (apart from fixed schedule) along with the unbelievable set-up that outdoor cameras are part of the HomeBase, but indoor ones (such as the 2k) are not !!!, hence changing security mode for each groupā¦absolutely appalled. I will be as vocal I can be dissuading people of purchasing Eufyās products. Bring better compatibility with larger smart home platforms!

I would LOVE to be able to use IFTTT to make a few lightbulbs flash when human motion is detected, as I do with my 4 year-old cam system.

It is very annoying. Iām trying to find an external siren, one loud enough and which canāt be unplugged(!), which I would then link via IFTTT. I donāt think alexa allows nested if conditions, or does geofencing, then ifā¦

Yes, also waiting for these features. Read that creating HomeKit support is much more complex and they managed to do that. So IFTTT and Smart things should not be a problem.

I hate to defend Eufy but the landscape has changed since Sept 20 when IFTTT started charging for advanced features and limited users to 3 free applets. This discouraged many developers and comapnies from partnering with IFTTT because they also pay fees to participate. Not sure abut Smartthings, but Samsung isnāt in the business of handing out free stuff and I suspect their fees have increased as well.
Hereās a link to an article about the change.

I would like to change security modes based on my personal needs and pan and tilt based on input from other smart devices like my garage door.

Eufy basically does nothing for existing customers, my reccomendation to all of you is to sell (or return if you can) all your Eufy producst and look for another optionsā¦ this is what I did and I cannot be more happy.
