I am having trouble making a working automation for IP cameras in home assistant to take a photo and save it with a timestamp to a specified directory. every time the automation runs, i get errors about unable to write and to check allow_external_dir in configuration
i am using the dev tools to troubleshoot the snapshot actions which give the same error, below is a screenshot of the error in question and the configuration.yaml
its worth noting, it worked before prior to updating the docker image to a newer HASS version under the following conditions:
- timestamp template was not used (file would not save and give no error otherwise)
