Hi
I have 2 instances connection with a custom component Remote_HomeAssistant.
The setup works perfectly fine. The only thing I can’t get working is a live stream camera in the remote instances to appear in the main instance.
With Generic Camera integration I have a RSTP camera working without issues but I can’t get the view in the main instances.
I have set load_components - camera in the remote instance config.yaml but it doesn’t help.
In fact I am not sure where to look. Any ideas?

Obviously not!
Any network configuration issues?
Describe your network, camera IP addresses, HomeAssistant IP address, and how they are supposed to communicate.
Post the yaml and logs [properly formatted]

No network config issues. The instances are connected with a Tailscale setup.
In the remote instances I use a Sonoff IP camera icw the generic camera integration to create a camera entity with a live stream. Works fine on the remote instance. Clear picture.
The same entity appears in the main instance but doesn’t give a live stream.

Try the webrtc-camera card. I am using custom one from HACS. But, I think there is one in HA now.

I gave HA remote a good consideration but decided to split it again. Solves a lot of issues.
