Me too. Could you post the setup in the correct format? Use the </>

You should change
- platform: reolink

to

- platform: reolink_dev

103

Just did that and now I get:

Platform error camera.reolink_dev - Integration ā€˜reolink_devā€™ not found.

Hereā€™s what the files look like:

104

It works for me with
- platform: reolink

105

Are the __init__.py files present in both folders?

106

I guess this is because in the manifest.json platform is still set to reolink. So both work.

107

No, when I downloaded the zip file it didnā€™t contain the init files in any of the folders

108

Yes in both folders.

109

Are those files automatically created? Because, like I said, I do not see those files anywhere

110

Got it. Github didnā€™t like the empty files. So now there is a comment line in it. I added the __init__.py files to the git repository.

111

That did the trick! Thank you sir

112

Really hope somebody can help you, this HAS to become official (or at least HACSed!)

Iā€™m having some trouble getting this to work. Downloaded today and configured as documented. The custom component loads but no camera entity is created with the below config:

camera:
  - platform: reolink_dev
    name: garage
    host: 192.168.1.173
    username: admin
    password: REDACTED!
    scan_interval: 5

The host, username and password are all correct and I can access the camera from the command line on the system running HA.

Any suggestions as to where I should look to lose this?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Michal

I stuck to exactly what he had and that worked and mine is connected to the nvr so just got channel=0
Now I just need to work out how to mod this to include channels 0 to 7 and bring up all cameraā€™s

115

I tried using platform reolink_dev as documented:

and platform reolink since thatā€™s the custom component directory name:

Neither worked for me :frowning:

116

i made a copy and have both in my custom components

reolink
reolink_dev

seems to be some where in the code he is referencing both

117

Oh sorry I just re-read your post
Platform needd to be reolink_dev
Custom component folder needs to be reolink_dev

118

Yepā€¦ That did itā€¦

Thank you!

Perhaps it would be a good idea to chance the directory name in the github repository to match?

119

Good to hear.
Now I just need to work out how to fix it to work with the NVR. Or just put a POE switch between the cameras and the NVR so the cams are on the local lan and not just on the NVR local lan

120

@Harry13 let me know how this goes, as Iā€™m interested in it as well and the NVR just gets in the way!
