Lovelace and public camera

Configuration
1

I am trying to add a card to view a public camera.
raspberrypi3-homeassistant with version 0.98.0
The config.yaml looks like:

camera:
  - platform: ring
  - platform: generic
    name: SL Fire
    still_image_url: http://http://104.171.40.70/snapshot.cgi?chan=1?random=0.48528740798882297

the card looks like:

type: picture-glance
entity: camera.sl_fire
camera_image: camera.sl_fire
title: SL Fire

the entity looks like:

entity: camera.sl_fire
state: idle
state attributes:{
  "access_token": "c2d3ad499ca4badf41f7a28678e2d306717ef481db870337888336f4dd48f18f",
  "friendly_name": "SL Fire",
  "entity_picture": "/api/camera_proxy/camera.sl_fire?token=c2d3ad499ca4badf41f7a28678e2d306717ef481db870337888336f4dd48f18f",
  "supported_features": 0
}

Not working. Any help would be appreciated.

At the very least it seems like you have one too many http:// in the still_image_url.

WOW, not sure how I missed that - thank you. I fixed it and got the same results.

BTW
this is the error message:

Invalid card configuration
{
  "camera_image": "camera.sl_fire",
  "entity": "camera.sl_fire",
  "title": "SL Fire",
  "type": "picture-glance"
}

Not sure what you want, but maybe remove entity.

Thanks Phil, I tried that also. I am trying to add the camera to the lovelace ui.

Have you tried a picture-entity card to make sure your camera setup works

camera_view: live
entity: camera.driveway
type: picture-entity

That’s all I have for one of my camera cards.

Agreed. When I wrote my response yesterday I only had my phone, so really couldn’t check my config (and didn’t remember what I was using.) I checked it today and, sure enough, I’m using picture-entity as opposed to picture-glance as well. So, yeah, I’d suggest @dpm1028 tries that.

Thank you both - it worked:

camera_image: camera.sl_fire
title: SL Fire
type: picture-entity
entity: camera.sl_fire
