Does not work with my cam

[Bluscream]

Sadly this doesnt work with my PPPP cam :(

It does "work" with https://github.com/Bluscream/PPPP but work is a strong word here lol

I used code from your repo too to connect my camera. So it should do almost the same as you code does.
I only added initial login and getting device properties from the camera.

Can you run the library itself without HA component, like this:

pip3 install -U aiopppp
python3 -m aiopppp -a 192.168.2.72

and share the logs?

I was able to connect it in the HASS integration, had to re-power it a few times before i could add it. But sadly none of the buttons/the stream doesnt work, even after re-powering/reloading:

It looks like you camera almost sending frames but at some point it fails. Either timeouts or wrong responses.
I can remove fetching cam_properties and login process to initialize your cam but I see that at some attempts it succeeded.
Odd behavior.

Sometimes restarting HA might help. Or repowering/rebooting the camera. But the second you already have done.

[Bluscream]

I will try restarting the HA host machine after a backup

[devbis]

The underlying library was significantly improved in terms of errors handling. Please check v 1.1.0 of the component.

[Bluscream]

Im trying 1.1.0 right now

[Bluscream]

1.1.0 makes the stream more reliable indeed, but the switches still dont do anything

I have an A9 camera. I easily connected it to the HDWiFiCam Pro mobile app. It has the prefix DGON-****. I installed your app in Home Assistant, but the camera won't connect.
Cannot connect to 192.168.0.165 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/config/custom_components/pppp_camera/config_flow.py", line 59, in async_validate_input dev_descriptor = await find_device(ip_address) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/aiopppp/device.py", line 37, in find_device raise TimeoutError("Timeout connecting to the camera") TimeoutError: Timeout connecting to the camera
Can you help? Thanks
