Can confirm it’s working.
Zoneminder camera on top
Ring doorbell camera on bottom
The playback was slow, I assume that is due to ffmpeg re-encoding the video on a Pi3.
Does this only work with the cloud subscription?
I’d have to say yes due to the fact it’s pulling the URL for the video from Ring’s website
Can’t wait to try this tonight!!

I relocated the file in configuration folder under custom_components camera and nothing popped up in UI.
Am I doing something wrong as it said something about no platform. At work right now don’t have exact error
If you are using groups, you will have to add camera.ring (or whatever the entity name is) to one of the groups.

For my AIO install I’ve placed ring.py in /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/custom_components/camera/
Then from the <> menu I found camera.front_door_2 as I already had camera.front_door from Zoneminder, and added it to my groups.yaml.
Hope this helps.

Already set as a group, still same error
- platform not found camera.ring, I must be doing something stupid. If you think of anything let me know
Looking at config errors, does this make sense.
File “/home/drive/.homeassistant/custom_components/camera/ring.py”, line 10, in import dateutil.parser ImportError: No module named ‘dateutil’
Try manually installing it inside the venv pip install python-dateutil

This bit in configuration.yaml is missing it sounds like:
I’m getting the following error. Added everything per instructions above:

So my ring compoent loads ok, with the exception that when I call a restart within the developer area of HA it won’t restart, has the error posted above.
My second problem is, my front door camera says “Image Not Available”
And I do see this in the logs:
Any ideas??

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'communicate'Figured it all out. So I had 2 problems. First I needed to update requests and found out there were 2 directories and versions of it. Got rid of the old one.
Next, I realized that I didn’t have ffmpeg installed on my mac as you noticed. Just ran brew install ffmpeg and everything is now working perfectly! Thanks so much
Awesome @Jer78
Good to hear that is working fine for you. The code still needs some polishing, but we should have a PR soon and maybe officially introduced on 0.56 version in 2 weeks.
Now the cherry’s cake now is to find a good ffmpeg parameters to adjust the video speed when it’s playing.
Please if anyone come up with a good combination, please let me know.
Thanks everyone that tested it.
Sure did, works like a champ.
The video speed for me is perfect. No issues. But I am using a Mac Mini so I’m sure that’s giving it extra juice than a Pi. So far so good. Thanks again for adding the cam feature!
I will give it a shot again tonight.
