Problem with synology cam

Configuration
1

Hi!

first I installed Hass.io and the cameras work with synology cam,

now I have Manual installation on a Raspberry Pi version of HA, and I use same configuratsion.yaml files, and in logs I have error like this:

2017-10-11 22:53:23 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.camera] Error while setting up platform synology Traceback (most recent call last): File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/homeassistant/helpers/entity_component.py", line 164, in _async_setup_platform SLOW_SETUP_MAX_WAIT, loop=self.hass.loop) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/asyncio/tasks.py", line 400, in wait_for return fut.result() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/asyncio/futures.py", line 293, in result raise self._exception File "/usr/lib/python3.5/asyncio/tasks.py", line 239, in _step result = coro.send(None) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/asyncio/coroutines.py", line 210, in coro res = func(*args, **kw) File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/homeassistant/components/camera/synology.py", line 54, in async_setup_platform timeout=timeout File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/synology/surveillance_station.py", line 9, in __init__ self._api = Api(url, username, password, timeout, verify_ssl) File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/synology/api.py", line 56, in __init__ self._initialize_api_info() File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/synology/api.py", line 66, in _initialize_api_info response = self._get_json(self._base_url + 'query.cgi', payload) File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/synology/api.py", line 189, in _get_json content = json.loads(response.content) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/json/__init__.py", line 312, in loads s.__class__.__name__)) TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'

any help ?

look like synology component has been incorrectly setup

Make sure you didnt mistakenly add space or tabs at end of llines.
Also make sure data entered correctly and has ’ or " where needed

HI!

Now I doublechek the configuration.yaml - and not there all data like it was – and like I said before, that same cinf file works fine when i used Hass.io installatsion versioon.
Here is part of file:

I’m encountering the same error after upgrading to 0.55. I’ve opened bug #9827.

I also have the same issue after upgrading to 0.55
So it may not be your setup at all

@windracer thanks - seems that’s not my config problem and let’s wait solution for this bug fix.

Thank’s guys, with new version 0.55.1 the problem is solved and camera’s is back :wink:

After I upgraded to 0.55.1 I started getting this error instead:

2017-10-16 16:19:50 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.camera.synology] Error when initializing SurveillanceStation

    raise ValueError('Invalid or failed response', content)
ValueError: ('Invalid or failed response', {'success': False, 'error': {'code': 400}})

My Syno credentials haven’t changed, I’ve made no config changes, using secrets.yaml to store my passwords. Makes me think this is something due to the py-synology rewrite introduced in 0.55?

has anyone figured out this yet?

I am on hass/1.2.1 and Synology/DSM 6.1.5-15254

The error I got is

requests.exceptions.InvalidSchema: No connection adapters were found for '192.168.1.8:5000/webapi/query.cgi'

anyone else has this problem?
