ESP32 cam webserver component and motionEye

steve_a · November 20, 2021, 6:19pm

Hi all,

I have configured my AI thinker esp32 cam and included the recently released webserver component, see below code:

substitutions:
  hostname: cam-studio

esphome:
  name: $hostname
  platform: ESP32
  board: esp32cam

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password
  fast_connect: true

# Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
  ap:
    ssid: "Esp Cam Studio Fallback Hotspot"
    password: *

#Configuration
esp32_camera:
  external_clock:
    pin: GPIO0
    frequency: 20MHz
  i2c_pins:
    sda: GPIO26
    scl: GPIO27
  data_pins: [GPIO5, GPIO18, GPIO19, GPIO21, GPIO36, GPIO39, GPIO34, GPIO35]
  vsync_pin: GPIO25
  href_pin: GPIO23
  pixel_clock_pin: GPIO22
  power_down_pin: GPIO32

# Image settings
  name: $hostname stream
  max_framerate: 24 fps
  idle_framerate: 0.2 fps
  resolution: SVGA
  vertical_flip: false
  horizontal_mirror: false
  jpeg_quality: 30
  contrast: 1
  brightness: 0.
  saturation: 0.

esp32_camera_web_server:
  - port: 8080
    mode: stream
#  - port: 8081
#    mode: snapshot
    
output:
# flashlight

    id: gpio_4
# statuslight
  - platform: gpio
    pin:
      number: GPIO33
      inverted: True
    id: gpio_33

light:
#flashlight

sensor:
  - platform: wifi_signal
    name: $hostname WiFi Signal
    update_interval: 60s
  - platform: uptime
    name: $hostname Uptime

text_sensor:
  - platform: wifi_info
    ssid:
      name: $hostname WiFi_info

switch:      
  - platform: restart
    name: $hostname restart

# sensore di movimento  
  - platform: gpio
    pin: 
     number: GPIO13
     mode: INPUT_PULLUP
    name: "Sensore Presenza"
    device_class: motion

Now, I am able to stream my cam on my browser at https://ip-address:8080, and also VLC can stream using the same ip address.

When I try to add the camera to motioneye, it returns request time out. I have tried both “network camera” and “Simple MJPEG camera”, but they fail.

All software is latest release.

I would like to stay with ESP Home, if possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

The docs mention:

At a given time only one stream can be served, but multiple snapshots.

Are you sure all session from your client (browser/vlc) are closed?

And where are your logs anyway?

steve_a · November 21, 2021, 9:07am

Hi and thank you for your reply!

Yes all other clients are closed when I try to add the cam to motioneye.

Which logs do you need?

orange-assistant · November 21, 2021, 9:15am

If you have troubles with esphome I would expect esphome logs

Yeah it might be motioneye’s logs sorry for being noobie. However, see below:

At 16.36.46 I connected to the webcam IP address throug Chrome browser, ad I was able to stream
At 16.36.52 I closed the connection
At 16.38.02 I tried to configure the camera from motioneye using option Network camera
At 16.38.18 I tried to configure the camera from motioneye using option Simple MJPEG camera

In both cases I got request time out message from motioneye GUI. Apparently, connection is working but for some reason, motioneye does not recognize the device as a camera.

Thank you,

Indeed, I would made the same conclusion as esphome is “serving” images after the initial request.

Best thing to do now might be to open a issue in the motioneye github. You might also wann try to give a shout out in the esphome discord if there is some one usind the esp32 cam successful together with motion eye.

Looks like their is a pr already to make the camera web server working together with motioneye:

github.com/esphome/esphome

Improve support for MotionEye by `esp32_camera_web_server`

Indeed, the workaround worked! Thank you for your help!
