I [manually] added Yi camera...now what?

So, I have Home Assistant up and running on Raspberry Pi. I followed the guide to add an Yi camera…but now what? What can I do with it? I can’t do anything from the web GUI, as it complains about entity id, there is no preview and it is greyed out and shows idle…

Hi there… can you share a screenshot of the situation.

camera:

  • platform: yi
    name: Camera
    host: “192.168.1.25”
    password:
    path: /mnt/Elements/Camera0
    ffmpeg_arguments: “-vf scale=800:450”

And the logs?

Do I need to explicitly enable logging?

I dunno, have you looked?

Honestly, I was mainly looking for someone to give me a tip of what should I be doing to configure the camera properly. I’ve added it to the config file, but I don’t really understand what I should do next…

Anyway, this is what I see in the log: Error while fetching video: Waiting for (‘2xx’,) but got 550 [’ Error’]

How fid you ascertain that path?

BTW, the camera is recording and FTP works - I checked it manually and there are videos in /tmp/sd/record/ which can be downloaded via FTP…

What’s wrong with it? It exists and I gave it 777 permissions to be on the safe side…

Damn! I got it - it should be the path in the camera! Thanks!
