Thanks, Tim.
I use the official component but haden’t realised it was based on your post. In that case - double thanks.
I actually have an old camera connected to the back of my front door to keep an eye on who is steeling the cat food by coming in the cat flap at night.
My first phone stopped working but I assumed it was due to the extreme cld we had had (it is velcro’d to a steel door)
and the second phone is stopping working for some reason. I suppose it could be the constant wear but I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up
I’ve just set up the component. While the video works all the sensors that I set up are displaying unavailable. Are there any specific settings I need to enable?
I can’t answer you at the minute as I’m shattered and now it’s sleep time for me. If nobody else has answered I’ll have a look and get back to you in about 4 hours
@keithh666 even though I enabled motion detection within the app when going to the website it doesn’t give me any data. Running Android IP Cam on a Fire HD 8.
Hey, does anyone else have a problem where the sensors off of the IP webcam will just stop? It seems to happen to all of my sensors at once. I’m running Hassio, and a restart of Hassio will always fix the problem and the sensor will update appropriately for a time. But sometimes it’s only like a day. I upgraded to 0.65.4 yesterday and it’s already stopped on me. Here’s a picture to show what it looks like. Not sure where else to look to try and fix it.
Wanted to make a security camera automation with telegram. after android_ip_webcam havent implemented the motion detection (see HERE )
i tryed it with the rest binary sensor… but:
I am trying to set up a “Crossbar Cam” to take slow motion videos of pole vaulters going over the cross bar. I’m trying to use IP Webcam to do that but am having some issues with lag (it doesn’t start soon enough when a vaulter enters the frame), FPS (I want to use my Samsung Galaxy 9 at 240 fps), and consistency (sometimes it appears to record and other times it doesn’t). I’m looking for someone who can set this up for me. Any Suggestions?!!
Does anyone know a way to display http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/photo.jpg on the frontend in a picture card but not update until an automation is triggered similar to the ones for the telegram notification automation?
Not sure if anyone is still listening to this forum, but I have been trying to get the Android IP Webcam app to work.
I mostly want it just for the motion sensor (want to keep the screen of my kitchen tablet off unless motion is sensed) and the sensors are showing up (motion, lux, battery and proximity) but are showing up as unavailable in my Hassio setup. It says in the component writeup that logging must be enabled or the sensors will show up as unavailable. I’ve enabled logging, restarted the tablet, restarted the AIPWcam app, restarted Hassio to no avail.
My Hassio server is only available on my local network. Below is my yaml config and the corresponding error log:
Thank you for your quick response.
When entering the mention IP address into a browser (after entering login credentials) I’m receiving the correct response.
Any other thoughts?
It may also be worth noting that the binary sensor shows up as well but only shows “Off” as it’s state even while dancing in front of the tablet where I can see myself in the image of the app
It should give you the same info after data: as in the browser:
[[1553906320600,[1.0]]]
The long number in front should change periodically. Make sure when testing, the tablet screen is on and AIP on top.
So still getting the sensors and camera showing up as unavailable.
Also noticed the following errors that I hadn’t noticed before.
Failed to communicate with IP Webcam: Cannot connect to host http:80 ssl:None [Name does not resolve]
Error getting new camera image: Cannot connect to host http:80 ssl:None [Name does not resolve]
Error fetching data: <PreparedRequest [GET]> from http://10.0.1.196:8081/sensors.json?sense=motion_active failed with HTTPConnectionPool(host=‘10.0.1.196’, port=8081): Max retries exceeded with url: /sensors.json?sense=motion_active (Caused by NewConnectionError(‘<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x6e12f470>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused’))
These errors are showing up pretty much constantly.
Seems like this may be an issue on the tablet side. Hassio keeps trying but is being refused. No means No! haha
