Can´t get doorbird component to work

Configuration
1

I tried to setup the doorbird component but I can´t get it to work. I´m always seeing this error in the log:

2017-09-25 21:04:17 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Error during setup of component doorbird

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

What could be wrong in my configuration?

doorbird:
  host: 192.168.2.36  (my local ip)
  username: hurz
  password: hurz

I have not used this component, but maybe I can help.

It looks like the doorbird component is a hub-component. Have you added any of the other sensors to your configuration?

Also, have you checked if the doorbird is online, with this tool? http://www.doorbird.com/checkonline

I’d probably also try pinging that IP from your local network, and maybe even a port scan (like nmap) to see what ports are listening.

Yes, I also added the camera component:

camera: 
  - platform: doorbird

The doorbird is online and can be accessed from my local network. The IP-address is correct.

This is a bug in the underlying doorbirdpy library because it’s not properly parsing UTF-8. I’ve filed a pull request to fix it.

If you’d like to fix it yourself, you’ll need to modify doorbirdpy as I documented in the issue.

Based off your log, you’ll have to edit the file /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.4/site-packages/doorbirdpy/__init__.py.

Thank you!
Then I will wait for an official fix.

The doorbird camera is working fine now but I´m having issues with the doorbird ringing sensor.
This is the error message that is logged:

Can anyone help?
