Foscam camera will not load

Configuration
1

I’m not sure when this broke, but I believe it was pretty recent.
The following only appears when I include my camera config

You’re not alone. I opened an issue on GitHub about this.

deleted my temp. workaround

foscam is working again.

4

Same here. This happened for me right after updating to 0.51.2

5

I’m on 51.2 but still the same problem?

6

Mine just broke my 2nd hikvison camera :stuck_out_tongue: when updateing

7

Is this still a problem?

I just updated to 0.51.2 and get the same errors

.

What is the fix?

I really hate doing updates because every time I do an update something breaks and I spend hours researching to try to figure out the solution.

I originally updated to 0.50.2 and my zwave stopped working. Then I thought if I updated to 0.51.2 it might fix my zwave component issue but all it did was break my foscam component too.

Home Assistant 0.53.1, released today, contains a fix for this issue.
