hi,
i got a m5stack camera working but can’t add it to motion eye. did anyone besides MrUkleja get a esp32cam working in the motioneye add-on? what do you have to enter in the config-window when adding a camera?
thanks!
That device on aliexpress does not look exactly like the one shown in your photos.
If it is an ai thinker, the config for them can be copied from the esphome page.
it’s not written on it, but on the aliexpress page, a reviewer says to use the AI THINKER code. Actually is the only code not producing an error, so I thought is/was the correct code … nevertheless is not working.
p.s. to me it seems the same model from the picture, but who knows
Different text on the camera side, but that may be a false alert.
Note the order of the items in data_pins: is important, and yours do not match ai-thinker.
Oh, didn’t think the ORDER was important, trying now
data_pins: [GPIO35, GPIO34, GPIO39, GPIO36, GPIO21, GPIO19, GPIO18, GPIO5]
EDIT: same, no stream, 
As it says in the docs, and my config at the near top of the page
data_pins: [GPIO5, GPIO18, GPIO19, GPIO21, GPIO36, GPIO39, GPIO34, GPIO35]

yes!!
That was it, thanks a lot

@Klagio I’ve recently received a few of the diymore.cc devices as you pictured. Can you please tell me the source of the ESP32-Cam sketch you have working with this device? I’ve been unable to get anything functioning on the device, yet. It continues to say “camera not recognized”. Many thanks!

Finally got my camera working tonight. It seems I needed to drop the flash write frequency from 80 MHz to 40 MHz and then everything worked as expected. 
I flash it with ESPHOMEFLASHER the first time, and later OTA, never a problem
Is it possible to do an automation INSIDE ESPhome that when the status is available the camera has the LED on, and LED off otherwise?
The below gives error
binary_sensor:
- platform: status
name: $hostname status
on_state:
then:
- light.turn_on: light.cam_status
off_state:
then:
- light.turn_off: light.cam_statusI have the TTGO-Camera w/Microphone board and this was the PIR code that worked for me. The pinouts are different for the Mic version.

I have got problems in dimming the LED from the AI-Thinker Modul. This is my code but i can only turn the led on and off no dimming at all.

Any hints?
Still struggling with this ESP32 module ( amazon )

I use the following settings in the flash tool, flash states ok when done.
Anybody any ideas, cant ping it once rebooted?
thanks
The url is available in the attributes of the camera entity and resolves to something like:
http://your_ha_ip:8123/api/camera_proxy_stream/camera.your_camera?token=xxxxxxx
The token, also an attribute, changes from time to time.

Can you show the full config for your TTGO w Mic version?
Might be that the pinout on AliExpress is wrong.
Why not flash it with esphome?
I’m running in a oracle vm and oracle doesn’t seem to like the usb-c to attach as a serial port. Standard usb with WeMos d1 minis etc work fine.
Cheers
Hi Olaf
Here is what the config should look like with a TTGO WITH MICROPHONE ESP32 board. It has a completly different GPIO pinout than the TTGO CAM with BME280. Beware that the pinout given by the sellers for this cam (with mic) is actually wrong for the PIR GPIO. It is said to be on GPIO33 (as on the NON-MIC CAM) while it is indeed on the GPIO19. I have tested the config to be OK with the PIR and I2C devices. The Camera is working but I get continuous disconnections from the Esphome API, which is a different issue.
