Help with Amcrest POE camera integration

I have two cameras that I’ve been using for years with synology surveillance station. I thought I would add to HA after adding my reolink cameras easily.

I added the code to the yaml file and restarted. The other thread on this diverted to arguing about a restart and didn’t seem to help the problem.

When I check the logs I get this error:

2025-02-13 15:57:47.592 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.util.loop] Detected blocking call to load_default_certs with args (<ssl.SSLContext object at 0x7f648adf67b0>, <Purpose.SERVER_AUTH: _ASN1Object(nid=129, shortname='serverAuth', longname='TLS Web Server Authentication', oid='1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1')>) inside the event loop by integration 'amcrest' at homeassistant/components/amcrest/__init__.py, line 206: return await super().async_command(*args, **kwargs) (offender: /usr/local/lib/python3.13/ssl.py, line 722: context.load_default_certs(purpose)), please create a bug report at https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22integration%3A+amcrest%22

ChatGPT and Grok couldn’t give much help. Thoughts?

It’s asking you to file a bug report, do that.

That warning should not affect the camera operation.

Are you using the Amcrest integration & can you provide the full config you included (without credentials).

Whats odd is it started showing up! Like 4 hours later… I have no idea. I was doing some other Valentine lighting. A couple more resets and poof

There is already a bug report for it Amcrest: Detected blocking call to load_default_certs with args · Issue #125234 · home-assistant/core · GitHub . That issue shouldn’t actually stop the integration from working though.
