Imou Open Platform offers an open-source Imou python component. By integrating this component into the Home Assistant service, developers can access live preview, control devices, and view device statuses of Imou devices. Additionally, developers have the ability to extend the functionality of the Imou component by creating additional features.
This integration enables bidirectional communication between Home Assistant and Imou ecosystem devices via the Imou Open Platform API.
