Wyze Cam Setup question - RTSP Entity ID

Configuration
1

Hello
Trying to setup a wizen cam and I followed any docs I can find, most are over a year old but I have it to the point where I have a entity listed I created and I get this error:

This entity (“camera.grow_cam”) does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI.

Here is what’s in my config:ffmpeg:

camera:

  • platform: ffmpeg
    name: Grow Cam
    input: -rtsp_transport http -i rtsp://user:[email protected]_1/live
    extra_arguments: -pred 1 -q:v 2

I have this in my Customize folder
camera.Grow Cam:
supported_features: 2
homeassistant:
customize: !include customize.yaml

Any help would be appreciated.
