Hi there,
I have an automation with my Dahua VTO portier which works perfectly (see code below).
Yesterday, for some reason, the screen of the tablet didn’t switch on and basically I see full automation was stopped at the very beginning for some reason related to the camera snapshot was not taken → and consequently all other steps were not executed, including switching on the tablet screen, playing a music, showing camera feed etc … :

Is there a way I can see what really happens ?
Camera not available or … ?
Is there a way I can tell if a step is not executing, to “ignore” it ? Because specifically here taking the camera snapshot is not really important, but I missed the call on my tablet 
Many thanks !!
