can you connect to home assistant when you put this url in a browser?
is the token a long lived token? seems a bit short.
and do you have ssl in HA?
or a set DNS?

HI,
I was able to connect and get it to work. for one panel with sensors and temerature etc…
now I am trying to add a camera on another panel but was not able to. could someone tell me what is wrong with this code:

error is:

camera: Error while parsing dashboard ‘/config/appdaemon/dashboards/camera.dash’:
camera: parser says
camera: in “”, line 21, column 1: ^
camera: found character ‘\t’ that cannot start any token while scanning for the next token

#
# Main arguments, all optional
#
title: Main Panel
widget_dimensions: [122, 120]
widget_margins: [5, 5]
columns: 8
#
# Layout
#    
layout:
    - clock(2x1), weather(2x2), garage(2x1)


clock:
    widget_type: clock

weather:
    widget_type: weather
    units: "°F"
	
garage:
    widget_type: camera
    title: office
    entity_picture: http://10.0.1.36:8123/api/camera_proxy/camera.hikvision_cam_1?api_password=MYpassword
	
reload:
    widget_type: reload
    title: Reload

it seems to me that your editor didnt translate the password you did replace with MYpassword correct.
is it possible you have strange characters in there?

I copied and passed the link with my real password on the web and it gave me an image. So I believe the link is correct.

Any other suggestion. Or is their a way to get live feed from the camera. Thanks.

You have a tab character instead of spaces in your yaml file.
