How I Setup ESP32 CAM Live Stream With Home Assistant | ESPHome | Step by Step Guide

[@EL34XYZ]

Thanks for this video! I spent hours trying to set up a ESP32 cam in Home assistant. Not one tutorial post I found said anything at all about having to load a .bin file onto the ESP32. I was able to get mine up and running easily using your video!

[@SmartHomeCircle]

Glad I could help.🙂

@omeCircleWhich 160 degree lens did you buy? Ali has 650 nm and 850 nm choices. looks like 650 nm is the one you have?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

@@EL34XYZ I dont remember what focal length it is. But only know it is 160 degrees wide .

If you have multiple cameras do you have to go through all the steps or can you use the downloaded files again and again for each new camera?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

You can use the same binary. I dont see it any issue.

[@summerfun6114]

good job. how to add ESP32CAM into iphone APP such as nest?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

It can't be put directly in the nest app.. as it's a local device.

Hey, thanks for your tutorial. Unfortunately, I get an error message when adding it to the ESPHome integration in Homeassistant. It says: "No connection to ESP possible. Make sure that your YAML file contains an "api:" line.". Of course I have this line like you explained in your video. Do you have any idea what I can do?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

can you check if the "api:" section is with the proper indentation? Try copying the config from my article which is linked in the description.

[@paulus1412]

same issue here. Did you find a fix for it? Second upload of bin file did work. But now it doesnt show an image/camera entity. So need to find out why that is. Also fixed now by removing the resolution line in the yaml. Thanks for the video by the way. Clean and easy to follow steps 👍

[@gussi2006]

Very particular :D

[@SmartHomeCircle]

Hope that helped 🙂

my cam isnt turning on, having this issues, [E][esp32_camera:024]: esp_camera_init failed: ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND [E][component:113]: Component esp32_camera was marked as failed. any idea?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

Where do you get this log output? Frigate or ESPHome logs?

How to control its led?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

You will have to find the pin connected to the LED and set the pin state to low.

@@SmartHomeCircle I tried that, but it seems the one I got is broken 💀
