Yi cameras - HA now working with yi-hack-v3 firmware 0.1.5

Hardware
1

The HA docs point out that because of a bug in Pure-FTPd it is necessary to run an old version of the hack firmware in order for HA to show Yi images.

In case you haven’t noticed, a workaround has now been published, which allows the latest firmware to use the original ftpd instead

hi,
so the system.sh should be changed?

if [[ $(get_config FTPD) == “yes” ]] ; then
pure-ftpd -B
tcpsvd -vE 0.0.0.0 21 ftpd -w &

See instruction #2. You need to comment out the pure-ftpd, like this:

if [[ $(get_config FTPD) == “yes” ]] ; then
#   pure-ftpd -B
   tcpsvd -vE 0.0.0.0 21 ftpd -w &

(Please see the blue box at the top of this page for instructions on how to paste)

Hey, just got a Yi Home camera and got the Custom firmware running and working with the app. I have added the camera to HASS but have “image not available” on my camera within the HASS UI.

I have made the change to the system.sh as you have linked and rebooted the camera but still no change in HASS. Is this the same error you where getting?

I’m also having the same issue.

i had to install FFMPEG on my Pi and it started working

I installed it and set the proper dir in the Hass config file.
Still no go

I guess you can contact with the seller to deal with the problem. :slight_smile:
