Camera Connection Error about reolink_dev

[keith-b-c]

Sorry for my late response! If I look at the code, the camera should give a json response after correct login. The error you logged only appears when the json is not valid. So in order to find out what's happening, can you provide me the response (from the browser) of the login command? The request should look:

body = [{"cmd": "Login", "action": 0, "param": {"User": {"userName": username, "password": password}}}]

Thanks!

I have the same problem, how do I go about entering the above code?

Please check v0.8.

I have this problem too. It seems to come from the app being connected and streaming the cameras. When it is, it seems like the component no longer can connect to the camera and login. It would be good to have an availability sensor to tell when this is happening and when it's not, as I use a conditional card to show the camera, it would be good to only show it when it's actually working. I will open an issue for that.

I think he wants the response of the login. One way to do it is with Postman, you have to do a POST request to http://YOUR_CAM_IP/cgi-bin/api.cgi with one param key cmd and value of login and a raw json body as given changing the username and password for yours:

[{"cmd": "Login", "action": 0, "param": {"User": {"userName": username, "password": password}}}]

Two photos to understand how to do it in postman, click send and paste here the body response.

The response has to look something like this:
[ { "cmd": "Login", "code": 1, "error": { "detail": "login failed", "rspCode": -7 } } ]
