Nest Camera

Configuration
1

Nest camera does not seem to be working.
Currently on 0.34.4

I followed the steps outlined here and was able to enter in the pin. However, when i go to my frontend it shows error loading image. My logs have the following:

I had the same problem and it was because I checked “Camera” and not “Camera + Images” in permissions. I had to uncheck “Camera” and then I was able to check “Camera + Images.”

I changed my permissions, but i’m still getting the same error. I restarted HA. Do I need to delete the nest.yaml file that HA created?

I removed the nest.yaml file and forced a reconfiguration and entered in a new pin. Works now! Thanks bmorton!

Cool! Yeah, I did the same thing, but I think you can also click the “Allow” button on the notification you get in the Nest app to allow the additional permissions.

hi question . working for me now… but its a still image right? not streaming ?

7

yes mine is a still image as well

8

even still image .changing pic n very bad… where is the config to change the refresh
best idea , but still streaming not working like simple IP cam

What do you mean by forced a reconfiguration? I’m stuck in a similar boat it looks like and can’t get the configuration card on the gui to comeback so I can enter the pin. What steps did you take?

All I did was delete your nest.yaml file and restart HA. It will ask you to configure again.

THat worked for me. I went back to nest developers and remove camera permissions. Added camera+image. Back to HASS. Deleted nest.conf. Restart HASS. Configured nest with new PIN. Restart. All good.

This fixed my problem kevince52. They should modify the instructions for the component section to be specific about this.

Agree- Same issue here, due to following instructions. I then change permissions , then restart de HA and thats it… is working. but still image though…

I, too, am only getting still image. I have the pre-Nest acquisition version of the DropCam.

Did you ever get streaming working?
