More than one Foscam?

Configuration
1

Hello,

How do you add more than one Foscam? My config looks like this but only the first cam works;

camera:

  • platform: foscam
    ip: x.x.x.x
    port: 86
    name: front 1
    username: xxxxxxx
    password: xxxxx

  • platform: foscam
    ip: x.x.x.x
    port: 88
    name: front 2
    username: xxxxxx
    password: xxxxx!

Hard to tell without the formatting …
Here’s my setup. Are you sure the port number is right on them both?

camera:
  - platform: foscam
    name: Kitchen
    ip: 192.168.1.28
    username: !secret foscam_user
    password: !secret foscam_pass
  - platform: foscam
    name: Landing
    ip: 192.168.1.32
    username: !secret foscam_user
    password: !secret foscam_pass
  - platform: foscam
    name: Lounge
    ip: 192.168.1.33
    username: !secret foscam_user
    password: !secret foscam_pass

BTW - not really any need to hide IP addresses unless they are unique and exposed to the internet. We all just use ‘private addresses’ which are not routable on the internet.

Hi Eggman,
see below my configuration.yaml.
My problem is that I only see one camera entity called camera.foscam_camera.

'# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:

'# Text to speech
tts:

  • platform: google_translate

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

sensor:

  • platform: postnl
    username: xxxx
    password: xxxx

camera:

  • platform: foscam
    name: Woonkamer
    ip: 192.168.154.191
    username: xxxx
    password: xxxx
  • platform: foscam
    name: Oprit
    ip: 192.168.154.192
    username: xxxx
    password: xxxx

What do I do wrong? I had it working several months ago. I re-installed HA and now I am lost.

Hi,
i am new here at Homeassistant, at the Moment. I run a Homebridge but i think with Hoemassistant im more flexible. I have two foscam and one edimax Camera.
Where can i configure the Foscam addon tow show me the second Foscam Camera?
And which add on should i use two see the Edimax cam?
I have installed the File Editor but im not sure to do the right things with it

5

Use Foscam Integration, it will scan for cameras by IP address

6

thats what i have done, but it shows me only one of the foscam cameras…
im looking for a “scan again function” or something like that but i can’t find it

7

Remove it. Add and you’ll see option to add one device after another.

i have removed it and installed it agaein. Theres no scanning im only able to make access to one camera then the add on closes the configuration
sorry :confused: :slight_smile:

now it works, i had to start the configuration a second time than it is possible to configure the second camera. The Edimax cam is not working with the Foscam Addon
THANX Vlad
