49.0 and Amcrest cameras

bmorgan · July 21, 2017, 12:00am

After upgrading to .49 I get config errors and my Amcrest cameras aren’t available.

The following components and platforms could not be set up:
camera.amcrest
amcrest

log:

did you set up the new platform? it needs to be configured differently now.

eBoon · July 21, 2017, 1:51am

I am also seeing some problems - even after updating to the new platform and configuring as documented:

2017-07-20 20:49:04 ERROR (Recorder) [homeassistant.components.recorder.util] Error executing query: <Front_Door_Cam: AMC004T0xxxxxx28> is not JSON serializable

No image showing up at all.

bmorgan · July 21, 2017, 11:26am

Thanks, that was the deal. Only been using HA for about a week, so I’m learning to deal with change.

This new config doesn’t work in my separate camera.yaml. Is that doable?

jnvd3b · July 21, 2017, 12:41pm

I’d have to see your code and how you have it set up, but I would think the camera portion could be moved to camera.yaml. I only have the one camera so I left mine in configuration.yaml

bmorgan · July 21, 2017, 12:51pm

You need another platform in you camera.yaml

platform: amcrest

eBoon · July 21, 2017, 5:10pm

@tchellomello Are you aware of this issue?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

bmorgan · July 21, 2017, 5:12pm

Sheesh, I forgot to add the non-working part. The first one passes the checker, but errors in the front end.

jnvd3b · July 21, 2017, 5:22pm

No I mean you need to add the amcrest camera in camera.yaml as well as the config file.

In config.yaml

In camera.yaml

bmorgan · July 21, 2017, 5:31pm

Can’t be in both:

2017-07-21 12:22:53 ERROR (Thread-1) [homeassistant.util.yaml] duplicate key: “host”

jnvd3b · July 21, 2017, 6:04pm

You dont put host in camera.yaml just “- platform: amcrest”

tchellomello · July 21, 2017, 6:58pm

Hello @eBoon

Thanks for copying me on this one. Yes, I’m aware. There is one issue reported at https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/8551

I’ll try to look into this tonight.

tchellomello · July 24, 2017, 6:34am

Guys @eBoon PR submitted today to fix the JSON issue

I’m sorry for not catching that before.

JerryWorkman · August 10, 2017, 2:51am

amcrest is currently broken.

bmorgan · August 13, 2017, 1:15pm

Broken for me in 0.51.1

2017-08-13 08:13:22 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Unable to setup dependencies of camera.amcrest. Setup failed for dependencies: amcrest
2017-08-13 08:13:22 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Unable to prepare setup for platform camera.amcrest: Could not setup all dependencies.

edit: working now after reboot

michaelderemer · August 25, 2017, 4:34am

Can you post your final config for both configuration.yaml and camera.yaml? I had this working in 48 but i reinstalled everything and have your exact same errors. The duplication between config and camera.yaml is confusing.

matust · August 25, 2017, 4:46am

In configuration.yaml I have

camera:
  platform: amcrest

amcrest:
  host: 192.168.1.xxx
  name: cam name
  resolution: low
  username: username
  password: password
  port: 80
  stream_source: snapshot
  sensors:
    - motion_detector
    - sdcard

I actually have amcrest.yaml setup up but just copied it into one for simplicity

bmorgan · August 25, 2017, 3:17pm

I use separate files, but it’s effectively the same as above

configuration.yaml:

camera: !include cameras.yaml
amcrest: !include amcrest.yaml

cameras.yaml: (foscams here, too)

- platform: amcrest

amcrest.yaml:

- host: 192.168.1.20
  #‎IP2M-841B
  username: admin
  password: !secret camera
  name: Family Room
  port: 8020
  stream_source: snapshot
  sensors:
    - motion_detector
  # - sdcard
  # - ptz_preset

So is this officially broken? I get no errors and everything seems correct but no picture.
