70mai Anona Pano: Anona Pano Home Assistant Bridge

A community-developed bridge, the Anona Pano Bridge, lets 70mai Anona Pano cameras run in Home Assistant by reverse-engineering the request signing process from the official Android app, since the cameras lack local APIs and rely on vendor-trusted firmware. Written in Go, the bridge establishes a per-account WebSocket control channel, negotiates WebRTC sessions and republishes them as local RTSP streams, adding live video, two-way audio, pan/tilt/zoom controls and AI-based motion and event alerts via MQTT discovery; its author states local-only operation is not possible due to firmware restrictions. Recent updates add AppArmor security hardening and debug toggles for WebRTC/ICE logging, with contributions co-authored by Claude Opus 4.8.

Evidence at a glance Loading source evidence… What was done Reverse-engineered bridge enabling Home Assistant integration for Anona Pano cameras, providing live video, PTZ controls, and AI alerts by mimicking official app cloud communication. The Anona Pano Bridge is a community-developed tool that enables integration of 70mai Anona Pano cameras into Home Assistant. Because these cameras lack local APIs and rely on vendor-trusted firmware, the bridge operates by reverse-engineering the request signing process from the official Android application. It establishes a per-account WebSocket control channel and negotiates WebRTC sessions, which are then republished as local RTSP streams for Home Assistant. The project provides features including live video, two-way audio, pan/tilt/zoom controls, and various AI-based motion and event alerts. The author notes that local-only operation is not possible due to firmware restrictions. The bridge is implemented in Go and supports Home Assistant via MQTT discovery. Development is documented in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/darkhand81/anona-ha-bridge/HEAD/README.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/darkhand81/anona-ha-bridge/HEAD/README.md . Recent updates include AppArmor security hardening and debug toggles for WebRTC/ICE logging, with contributions co-authored by Claude Opus 4.8. Reproduce it Install the Mosquitto broker add-on in Home Assistant, add the repository URL https://github.com/Darkhand81/anona-ha-bridge, configure the add-on with Anona account credentials and region, and start the service to discover camera entities.
