yeah, it tells that appdaemon isnt connected to HA.
clear your logs, and restart Appdaemon and see if there are problems.
github page can not load
sorry, i did a complete reorganize from my github.

how did you install appdaemon?
what is in your appdaemon logfiles?
you use appdaemon.cfg? what version from appdaemon did you install?
you should have 2 files:
appdaemon.yaml (containing general settings)
apps.yaml (containing appsettings)
the settings from add_to_app.yaml on my github should be added to apps.yaml
I follow this guide Installing AppDaemon on Ubuntu with virtualenv to install.
my appdaemon==2.1.10
I test appdaemon running with file example from source install, i have two file appdaemon.yaml and
apps.yaml. (Test with example hello.py).
I get error when start appdaemon, you can see image i upload.
Thank you very much your quick reply.
Show us your content of your config files

Thanks! i understant need indent. After copy config file to http://www.yamllint.com/ i found where wrong
appdaemon work but i can move or zoom … on home assistant.
seems like you have a camera that can’t work with this app.
which camera type do you have?
do you know with which CGI it can work?
My camera is foscam R2
seems to be oke.
so i think you have an error in your host, port, username or password.
it must be like
host: 192.168.0.45
port: "88"
username: yourusername
password: yourpass
notice the quotes with port
no symbols allowed in password like - or _ or & or %
Thanks! i can move vertical or horizon but slider always return 0 value.

the slider is intende to return to 0.
you start the movement with the slider for 1 second. the more you move the slider away from 0 the faster the cam will move.
after 1 second it stopps
if it wouldnt work that way, it would be impossible to move to a specific point.
if you want to keep it moving you need to use cruise.
you can setup preset cruises in your camera. the names you give there can be set in the input_select for cruising.
then you can start and stop cruises.
default there is a horizontal and vertical cruise.
Thanks! i understant. In my home assistant, i cannot turn on motion detect
does it give an error?
it should set the automated motion detect to on with the switch.
i turn on switch but it return off
i had problems with that before. in the new version i am working on it will give back better errors in the log.
