I am not sure. It is above somewhere. But I think if it hangs at processing locations…In my case it was because a light bridge was off line.
Any progress? I cant get the live view to work. still image is ok. But not live. I’m using Home Assistant Blue.
Hi thanks for your response, It is actually processing locations I just didnt want to post the location logs… They show up on the log file but offline when I look at entities.
Switched to WebRTC, it is working flawlessly just avoiding the problem 
Ok. How did u do that? 
Please check this thread, it is a general streaming solution for home assistant Realtime camera streaming without any delay - WebRTC
WebRTC worked for me, but now one of my cameras is getting an error: “Deactivating event stream due to signal from RTSP server (no more active clients or publisher ended stream)” anyone seen this?
Does anyone know if there is a way to set the alarm state to “pending” (i.e entry delay) somehow? I have some spare door sensors which aren’t ring door sensors so I’d like to use them to kick start the entry delay if I can.
Currently while playing around it seems possible to set the state to disarmed or armed but I cannot set the state to pending…unless I’m just being stupid somehow!
I guess you are using an automation to use them? Add a delay in the automation?
Im getting an error trying to run the docker container. I’ve change the MQTPORT to localhost and the ip address of my synology (Im running it on a synolgy)
Here’s the error:
Unable to connect to MQTT broker. connect ECONNREFUSED localhost:1883 +2ms
Im guessing I need to install a broker?
Quick Install
This is a Home Assistant addon and must be added to the native Home Assistant add-on store, this project has nothing to do with HACS and attempts to add this to HACS will fail. The Home Assistant add-on store is only available when running Home Assistant Supervised installed via either Home Assistant OS or manually. If you are running Home Assistant Core via Docker or manual install into a Python virtual environment then there is no support for the addon store but you can still run the ring-mqtt project directly to get the same capabilities.
This add-on requires a working MQTT broker. Configuring Home Assistant MQTT support is outside of the scope of this document but the standard Home Assistant Mosquitto integration along with the Mosquitto MQTT add-on is the recommended configuration.

Is anybody else having connection issues this morning?
I’m getting a 500 error in the logs.

Hi all,
New poster here, been following many of these threads to set up my new HA setup.
I am running into this weird issue with HA and ring-mqtt. Whenever I restart my HA service (HA OS as VM), the integrations works great. I can start the live-stream service through a toggle, and when I click on the picture-glance (or picture-entity) card it opens up the live stream in a big pop-up window. However, once the live-stream service shuts down (automatically), and I restart the live-stream service through the toggle (and I see the service running in the log), when I click on the card it only shows the header bar of the pop-up, and no longer the video.
Further, I can see that the snapshot function is working as the card image updates after each motion detection throughout the day.
Did I code or config something wrong? See below the various codes:
Card code:
- type: picture-glance
entities:
- entity: switch.front_door_live_stream
camera_image: camera.front_door
tap_action:
action: more-info
Configuration.yaml:

I have had something like this. The video streams were clickable once, after that it would just bring up the video player header and nothing else. When I’ve been trying it now, it’s been fine, but then and now I’m getting this in my HA logs.
2022-02-11 17:25:13 ERROR (stream_worker) [homeassistant.components.stream.stream.camera.front_door_events] Error from stream worker: Stream ended; no additional packets
I should add, and when this happens my camera entity becomes unavailable (which it just did), so I have to restart the camera integration (which I know I could automate, but I shouldn’t have to).
I noticed the same behavior in early 2022.2 builds although I had never really noticed it before. I believe it is this bug which was fixed in 2022.2.6 and, at least so far, I can’t reproduce it on that version. The bug says it was a fix for Nest, but the fix is in the stream component used by all cameras, and the error I was seeing is nearly identical, i.e. any unexpected stream error would cause future attempts to fail to retry (which is also very similar to what @RogTP posted above). Have you already updated to 2022.2.6?
When I posted this I may or may not have been on 2022.2.6. I see it was released on the 11th, so that may or may not have been after I posted. I tend to update fairly quickly though.
That said, it doesn’t seem to stop working at the moment, though I do get this in my logs:
2022-02-15 15:09:53 ERROR (stream_worker) [homeassistant.components.stream.stream.camera.front_door_events] Error from stream worker: Stream ended; no additional packets
I have just updated to 2022.2.6, and indeed it seems to be working fine now. I will have a look how it progresses throughout the next few days.
Yes, but I would consider that error “normal”, in that it’s true, the stream does end (Ring allows a stream for a maximum of about 10 minutes and there are many other reasons it might end earlier, but Home Assistant assumes every camera is capable of streaming “forever”). The issue that was fixed in 2022.2.6 is that an error of that type would cause the camera to go “unavailable” and then never retry.
Well I can tune it out of my logs, but I don’t really like to. If it’s expected to happen at some point, it isn’t an Error as such.
