Raspberry Pi Camera hassio

Configuration
1

hi,
i try to use a Raspberry Camara Module on my hassio installation.

i add

camera:

and

whitelist_external_dirs:
- /tmp

to my config but the cam is idly and show no picture.
do I need the whitelist /tmp? ist not extern.

if it works, i want to push the motion pictures to my phone with pushover.

what did I forget?

hi,
I have now found a solution. Unfortunately much too late.

dit your /boot/config.txt file on the sd card and make sure the following lines look like this:

start_x=1             # essential
gpu_mem=128           # at least, or maybe more if you wish
disable_camera_led=1  # optional, if you don't want the led to glow

reboot

now you can use your camera. the interface ist disabled by default.

Hi,
I found this solution while trying to get my pi cam working, however it stops home assistant from booting up properly, saw the same boot issue with this config here: https://github.com/home-assistant/supervisor/issues/184#issuecomment-451596508
On my SD card the config.txt file is not in /boot rather in the top level directory. Wondering what is different about your install that makes this fix work. I’m running v 0.108.8 on a Pi 3B
