This is the error i get now:

appdaemon isnt starting correctly.

remove everything from foscam (the python file and the part in the yaml) and lets first try to get appdaemon running correct.

184

When removing everything i get this:
starting version 3.2.2
2017-07-30 21:22:17.424330 INFO AppDaemon Version 2.0.9 starting

I do run Hassio btw, is that a problem?

185

shouldnt be a problem.

but i wonder, do you still have the hello app in your app dir and do you have it in your config?

186

nope i dont have the hello app. but i have Ha_Dashboard and that do work

187

yeah oke. so it looks like you got AD running correctly.

but i still like to have a check if apps are on the right place and configured correct.
i am working a bit blind because i havent converted to yaml myself yet.

give me a moment i will create something to test.

188

oke try this:
place this in your config:

testing:
  class: testrun
  module: testrun

and save this app as testrun.py in your appdir:

import appdaemon.appapi as appapi

class testrun(appapi.AppDaemon):

  def initialize(self):
    self.log("Testrun has been started")
    runtime = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=5)
    self.run_minutely(self.heartbeat,runtime)        

  def heartbeat(self,kwargs):
   self.log("Testrun is running in minute tact")

lets see if that works. if so then please post what you have in the foscam part again, so i can take another look at it.

189

Can this project work with foscam R2?. Thanks!

190

i dont know.

can you use CGI commands with that cam?
and can you give me 1 example from a CGI command?

i am trying to get it working for every foscam that uses CGI.

and i am creating a default dashboard for it too.
it isnt finished but right now it looks like this:

My camera after run your command:
<CGI_Result>
0
0
1
0
0

0k

0
xxxxxx
0

xxxx
0
0
</CGI_Result>

192

in that case probably all functions will work.

i only need to warn you that you need to translate the config file i have put on github to yaml (my config is for an older version from appdaemon)

ill put in a new version in a short while, with the new config

Very nice but after updating appdaemon and Hass my controller doesn’t work anymore is there a way to debug?

196

which parts in Hass dont work?
is there anything in your appdaemon logs?
or in your Hass logs?

197

Hi

Would this work with Foscam C1?

Thanks.

198

i have a C1 lite myself.
i think it will work (except for the PTZ part of course :wink: )

Anyone know how to send a alarm trigger to HA from the Foscam so I can send a notification to my phone if there is motion detected? I set it up on my Hikvision camera. That was easy.

200

depends on which foscam you have.
if it is 1 of the types that work with this app, you could use this app.
or you could create a commandline sensor that sends a CGI command to the cam regularly to retrieve the sensor state.
but its probably more easy (and more reliable) to set it up in the cam settings self.

201

I’m using your app for this camera now. Works great.How can I set it up in the app?
