Echo Show 15 compatibility

brianhb

Considering a purchase of the Echo Show 15. It is not listed as a compatible device. Is this because it is incompatible or just a newer device that is not yet tested? Just curious if anyone has got this working for monocle?

Monocle

@brianhb

It has not been tested. Please let us know if you obtain one and can confirm it’s working.

Thanks , Robert

@Monocle Purchased and set up Echo Show 15 with Monocle gateway hosted on a RaspberryPi. Works flawlessly without any issues - followed instructions on site. Tested 1080P resolution. Feed from two Dahua cameras.

@brianhb that’s good to know. With prime day coming up this was what I was going to set up. Unfortunately I have unifi cameras which currently not working.

@brianhb

Thanks for reporting your success on Echo Show 15!

Did you have to change any firewall/port settings?
I cant get Show 15 to work - tried the Gateway on both a Windows and Linux server - stream is detected but wont show on the device.

@cpcctv I am using a Raspberry Pi that has the sole purpose of acting as a dedicated Monocle gateway. I tried previous using my Unraid server and it did not work. I suspect the issue was around a conflict with other containers using port 443. I gave up trying to troubleshoot and switched to a Pi to keep things simple.

@brianhb You likely need a dedicated IP for the gateway instance.

Here my build script which creates a dedicated macvlan for the container, thereby giving a dedicated IP to the monocle gateway.

docker network ls --format "{{.Name}}" | grep -q ip_10_0_0_0 || docker network create -d macvlan --subnet=10.0.0.0/24 --gateway=10.0.0.1 -o parent=eth0 ip_10_0_0_0
docker pull monoclecam/monocle-gateway:latest
docker stop monocle
docker rm monocle
docker run -d --name monocle --net ip_10_0_0_0 --ip=10.0.0.91 --log-opt max-size=10m --log-opt max-file=5 -e PUID=1002 -e PGID=100 -e UMASK=002 --restart always -v monocle:/etc/monocle monoclecam/monocle-gateway:latest
docker logs monocle --since 1s -f

Be sure to edit the subnet / name to reflect the IP subnet on your network (in my case ips are on 10.0.0.x subnet).
DHCP on the macvlan doesn’t work, so be sure to assign a static IP to the container (in my case I’ve assigned 10.0.0.91, be sure to change it to yours.
Remember that you’ll have to edit the monocle config file once it’s initially setup, so you’ll want to map /etc/monocle to somewhere accessible to you, otherwise lookup where monocle volume is created, and SSH into the docker host to edit the file there.

Good luck, let me know if you have any issues / questions.
