Support for Local camera hardware (Raspberry Pi/USB cameras/etc.)
In my case I am running on a Raspberry pi and would love to integrate the PiCam with HASS.

rPi Camera is already available. A usb camera is a bit tricky right now but I have submitted a pull request fro a local file camera. Basicly it just reads any image file on your system as a camera.
It could be combined with a usb camera and 3rd party software that takes a snapshot every x seconds to use a usb camera.
I was looking into adding an USB connected camera in the past but didn’t get to far because pygame is a bit wired and SimpleCV is no longer actively developed.
How can I add the rPi Camera to the configs? I searched the documentation but all I saw were entries for IP cameras.
EDIT: Wrong thread
OOps, responded to the wrong thread
This can be closed. Got it working after following the instructions and adding HASS to the video group. This should probably be done in the AIO rPi installer.
