sorry but it doesnt work, i still have nothing after token= in the https adress, so i have an error 401 : unauthorized…because no token provide.
Please, may i have to declare something in the shell file? like 1=cam_token ?
Strange.
You are already redirecting the output - right?
Check the token you are passing to the script with something like:
echo "token is: $1"
Then execute your command by hand, with the token that you will get from the echo command above in order to verify the token. A wrong token is all I can think of.
And yes you can assign the token to a variable (but it should not make any difference) like so:
token=$1
sorry, what do you mean by “You are already redirecting the output”?
Edit your script to start with these lines:
#!/bin/bash
date
echo "token is: $1"
Execute the shell command from Home Assistant.
Then in order to verify that the token is valid check the log file: /config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.log
the log is empty, nothing in
the shell_command :
shell_command:
cuisine_camera_shell_script: bash -x /config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.sh **{{cam_token}} >>** /config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.log 2>&1
doesnt work together {{ }} and >>, i read that in a post https://community.home-assistant.io/t/pass-arguments-to-shell-command-on-event/37029/4?u=olivier974
so i just keep :
shell_command:
cuisine_camera_shell_script: bash -x /config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.sh {{cam_token}}
and since that i have nothing in the log…and i dont know how make a second line to have the log…
And i have this error still the beginning :
Error running command: `/bin/bash /config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.sh {{cam_token}}`, return code: 1
i google it but dont find anything…
i have execute the script by double click it in samba share and the echo is appeared but no token provided
Then replace:
#!/bin/bash
date
echo "token is: $1"
with
#!/bin/bash
exec &>>/config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.log
date
echo "token is: $1"
Execute the script by hand - do not forget to add a token after the file name.
Does it work, is there anything in /config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.log ? If it isn’t working then you need to fix the script.
If it works try from Home Assistant.
thanks
if i execute the script by hand with power shell windows, it works, i can see the token…fast because the windows open and close very fast…
But no .log create…
if i triggered manualy the automation in hassio, the log is create with no token…
an idea?
I am just guessing - put the command in a double quotation marks:
shell_command:
cuisine_camera_shell_script: "bash /config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.sh {{cam_token}}"
thanks again for your help!
it doesnt change anything…
this is my .sh :
#!/bin/bash
exec &>>/config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.log
date
echo "token is: $1"
cam_token=$1
folder=/config/www/cam_record
id=$(date +"%y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")cuisine_camera
http_url=https://192.168.1.50:8123/api/camera_proxy_stream/camera.cuisine?token=$1
mkdir $folder
ffmpeg -i $http_url -t 1 -vcodec copy $folder/$id.mp4
ls -lh $folder/$id.mp4 $folder/cuisine_camera.mp4
cp $folder/$id.mp4 $folder/cuisine_camera.mp4
ls -lh $folder/$id.mp4 $folder/cuisine_camera.mp4
find $folder -type f -name ‘*.mp4’ -mtime +30 -exec rm {} ;
i really dont understand why i cant passed a variable from HA, a lot of people do that…
i have replace the " {{cam_token}}" with text and it passed to the script when i triggered manualy…
like this :
shell_command:
cuisine_camera_shell_script: bash -x /config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.sh test_to_see
and i have “test_to_see” in the .log for the echo function…
So its a problem with the argument…between ha and the sript…
OK!!! i get it!!!
i have just remove the template “cam_token” in the automation and put directly :
shell_command:
cuisine_cam_shell: '/config/shell_scripts/cuisine_cam.sh {{ state_attr("camera.cuisine","access_token") }}'
and it works!!! lol
thanks a lot for your help @neohidra
i have now little .mp4 but the format is not regognized…lol
i will search wich format is it now 
here is the log

oohhh friend I would love to work with this but I have problems with the directories and I don’t know where to start
I have the same scritp as you, and changed only the name of cam
1st question: the cuisine_camera_shell_script.sh file where it is hosted
I have it here /config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.sh
my error: bash: /config/shell_scripts/camera_shell_script.log: No such file or directory
2nd shell_command: does it have to be hosted in configuration.yaml?
3rd is necessary
homeassistant:
whitelist_external_dirs:
- "/ config / shell_scripts /"
- "/ config / www / cam_record /"
thank you very much friend
Hello @Domy5,
its a pleasure that someone is interested in 
-1st question: i have create a folder named “shell_scripts” under config : like that : /config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.sh
and lol i understand because i create a .log file to see if it works, so this is the content of the “cuisine_camera_shell_script.sh” for example
#!/bin/bash
exec &>>/config/shell_scripts/cuisine_cam.log
date
echo "token is: $1"
cam_token=$1
folder=/config/www/cam_record
id=$(date +"%y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")cuisine_camera
http_url=https://192.168.xxx.xxx:8123/api/camera_proxy_stream/camera.cuisine?token=$1
mkdir $folder
ffmpeg -i $http_url -t 10 -vcodec copy $folder/$id.mp4
ls -lh $folder/$id.mp4 $folder/cuisine_camera.mp4
cp $folder/$id.mp4 $folder/cuisine_camera.mp4 ;
So you can see after triggered manualy your automation, the log will be create and inside its normally looks like mine in my previous message.
-2nd shell_command: does it have to be hosted in configuration.yaml? : you can but i create a file “shell_command.yaml” to put all my shell commands…like :
cuisine_cam_shell: '/config/shell_scripts/cuisine_cam.sh {{ state_attr("camera.cuisine","access_token") }}'
if you do, dont forget to put in configuration.yaml : “shell_command: !include shell_command.yaml”
You can do whithout and just put in configuration.yaml :
shell_command:
cuisine_camera_shell_script: "bash /config/shell_scripts/cuisine_camera_shell_script.sh {{cam_token}}"
-3rd is necessary : no, i havent that in my config…
Last thing : its the automation : you have to triggered with something, like a motion sensor. I have one attached on the camera (you can see here my thingverse : [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3816458] (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3816458) ).
My automation is :
- id: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
alias: Record cam detecteur cuisine
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.cuisine_pir_sensor
for: 00:00:02
from: 'off'
platform: state
to: 'on'
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.somebody_home
state: 'off'
action:
- data:
entity_id: camera.cuisine

Enjoy! give me some feedback if its ok for you please

Thank you very much, how quickly you answer, it is appreciated
this does not works:
after configuration.yaml:“ shell_command:! include shell_command.yaml ”
and
shell_command.yaml
cam_shell: '/config/shell_scripts/camara.sh {{state_attr ("camera.puerta_esp32cam", "access_token")}}'
This worked for me:
shell_command:
cam_shell: 'bash /config/shell_scripts/camara.sh {{state_attr ("camera.puerta_esp32cam", "access_token")}}'
but it makes a file with a different name than “camera_shell_script.log”
name like this “CY4X7X ~ 8”
and inside the log

automation is not a problem I have an automation with a switch-button that sounds a buzz like a doorbell and in turn sends a photo and this would be to send a small video (for now to keep it in a folder) all with the same esp32-cam
any ideas again thank you very much
new step achieved by including a space " ", at the end of the line.

You make a mix between my file and yours lol : there is
20-01-31_16-12-49cuisine_camera
you dont have such a name, you have :
camera.puerta_esp32cam
so first, adapt my file, dont paste only.
Second one, can you give the exact name of your script? :
i see “camara.sh” is it right? give me what you put inside and paste with special quote (x3) : AltGr + “7 è `” touch on your keyboard please.
your file must be :
#!/bin/bash
exec &>> "/config/shell_scripts/camera_shell_script.log"
echo "token is: $1"
cam_token=$1
folder="/config/www/cam_record"
id=$(date +"%y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")puerta_esp32cam
http_url="https://****.duckdns.org/api/camera_proxy_stream/camera.puerta_esp32cam?token=$1 "
mkdir $folder
ffmpeg -i $http_url -t 1 -vcodec copy $folder/$id.mp4
ls -lh $folder/$id.mp4 $folder/puerta_esp32cam.mp4
cp $folder/$id.mp4 $folder/puerta_esp32cam.mp4
ls -lh $folder/$id.mp4 $folder/puerta_esp32cam.mp4
find $folder -type f -name ‘*.mp4’ -mtime +30 -exec rm {} ;
and i think you have to put this in your configuration.yaml :
shell_command:
puerta_esp32cam_shell_script: "bash /config/shell_scripts/camara.sh {{cam_token}}"
if “camara.sh” is your name’s script of course, who need to be in the
/config/shell_scripts/
folder
the other problem is the time stamp i use for snapshot (take a picture) and the time stamp for stream video, so if you dont use my automation like, sure it can’t work as expected…
I see 2 problems, first you have a
Server returned 400 Bad Request
so make sure yur hassio in reachable from outside with the duckdns you provide AND WITH HTTPS not http only, and verify that there is not a space or special caracter like " that is at a wrong place…
If you adapt my script with your camera’s name and use my automation, it should work…
Just use your button to trigger the automation and if you dont use presence sensor “somebody_home”, delete the condition in the automation.
