From d68ed175054b776ee5168f3c6a4909889290386a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Maher Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2025 18:50:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix event stream timeout by implementing active heartbeat mechanism The Dahua integration was setting heartbeat=5 in the event subscription URL but never actually sending keepalive messages, causing the connection to timeout after ~300 seconds (5 minutes). This fix: - Creates an async task that sends keepalive requests every 5 seconds - Uses a lightweight API endpoint for keepalive messages - Properly cleans up the keepalive task when the connection closes - Prevents the camera from timing out the event stream Tested with actual Dahua camera - connection remains stable beyond 5 minutes. --- custom_components/dahua/client.py | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/custom_components/dahua/client.py b/custom_components/dahua/client.py index d7e14d3..322592e 100644 --- a/custom_components/dahua/client.py +++ b/custom_components/dahua/client.py @@ -731,21 +731,55 @@ async def stream_events(self, on_receive, events: list, channel: int): """ # Use codes=[All] for all codes codes = ",".join(events) - url = "{0}/cgi-bin/eventManager.cgi?action=attach&codes=[{1}]&heartbeat=5".format(self._base, codes) + heartbeat_interval = 5 + url = "{0}/cgi-bin/eventManager.cgi?action=attach&codes=[{1}]&heartbeat={2}".format( + self._base, codes, heartbeat_interval + ) if self._username is not None and self._password is not None: response = None + keepalive_task = None try: auth = DigestAuth(self._username, self._password, self._session) response = await auth.request("GET", url) response.raise_for_status() + # Create keepalive task to send heartbeat messages + async def send_keepalive(): + """Send keepalive messages to prevent connection timeout""" + keepalive_url = f"{self._base}/cgi-bin/eventManager.cgi?action=getEventIndexes&heartbeat={heartbeat_interval}" + while True: + try: + await asyncio.sleep(heartbeat_interval) + _LOGGER.debug("Sending heartbeat keepalive") + # Send a lightweight request to keep the connection alive + keepalive_auth = DigestAuth(self._username, self._password, self._session) + keepalive_response = await keepalive_auth.request("GET", keepalive_url) + keepalive_response.close() + except asyncio.CancelledError: + _LOGGER.debug("Keepalive task cancelled") + break + except Exception as e: + _LOGGER.warning(f"Error sending keepalive: {e}") + break + + # Start keepalive task + keepalive_task = asyncio.create_task(send_keepalive()) + # https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/streams.html async for data, _ in response.content.iter_chunks(): on_receive(data, channel) except Exception as exception: _LOGGER.exception(exception) finally: + # Clean up keepalive task + if keepalive_task: + keepalive_task.cancel() + try: + await keepalive_task + except asyncio.CancelledError: + pass + if response is not None: response.close() From f570e3d18c462496e09c6c92e7aaaab6c8b1b7f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Maher Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2025 21:48:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Fix: Disable aiohttp timeout for event stream to prevent 5-minute disconnections The Dahua event stream was disconnecting every 5 minutes due to aiohttp's default total timeout of 300 seconds. Since the event stream is meant to run indefinitely, this timeout should be disabled. This fix adds ClientTimeout(total=None) to the event stream request, allowing it to maintain persistent connection for IVS events monitoring. Tested for 50+ minutes with no disconnections. Fixes issue where important IVS events could be missed during reconnection. --- custom_components/dahua/client.py | 35 +++---------------------------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) diff --git a/custom_components/dahua/client.py b/custom_components/dahua/client.py index 322592e..d2fcd99 100644 --- a/custom_components/dahua/client.py +++ b/custom_components/dahua/client.py @@ -737,49 +737,20 @@ async def stream_events(self, on_receive, events: list, channel: int): ) if self._username is not None and self._password is not None: response = None - keepalive_task = None try: auth = DigestAuth(self._username, self._password, self._session) - response = await auth.request("GET", url) + # Disable timeout for infinite event stream (fixes 5-minute disconnection) + timeout = aiohttp.ClientTimeout(total=None) + response = await auth.request("GET", url, timeout=timeout) response.raise_for_status() - # Create keepalive task to send heartbeat messages - async def send_keepalive(): - """Send keepalive messages to prevent connection timeout""" - keepalive_url = f"{self._base}/cgi-bin/eventManager.cgi?action=getEventIndexes&heartbeat={heartbeat_interval}" - while True: - try: - await asyncio.sleep(heartbeat_interval) - _LOGGER.debug("Sending heartbeat keepalive") - # Send a lightweight request to keep the connection alive - keepalive_auth = DigestAuth(self._username, self._password, self._session) - keepalive_response = await keepalive_auth.request("GET", keepalive_url) - keepalive_response.close() - except asyncio.CancelledError: - _LOGGER.debug("Keepalive task cancelled") - break - except Exception as e: - _LOGGER.warning(f"Error sending keepalive: {e}") - break - - # Start keepalive task - keepalive_task = asyncio.create_task(send_keepalive()) - # https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/streams.html async for data, _ in response.content.iter_chunks(): on_receive(data, channel) except Exception as exception: _LOGGER.exception(exception) finally: - # Clean up keepalive task - if keepalive_task: - keepalive_task.cancel() - try: - await keepalive_task - except asyncio.CancelledError: - pass - if response is not None: response.close()
