I am on HA Core, running in docker on Ubuntu.
I have a front doorbell camera. I am able to use the following to get a snapshot via a web browser:
http://admin:mypassword@camera-IP/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi
However, when I add the following to my configuration.yaml, restart, and find the entity in my system, the image link is broken.
camera:
- platform: mjpeg
name: frontdoor_snapshot_cam
mjpeg_url: http://admin:mypassword@camera-IP/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi
What’s wrong?
Lastly…
If I were to use:
camera:
- platform: mjpeg
name: frontdoor_snapshot_cam
username: !secret doorbell_username
password: !secret doorbell_password
mjpeg_url: http://camera-IP/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi
how do I get the username and password variables accessed from my secrets file to be put in the url? Is it automatically added? When I try the above conf, it’s the same broken image.
