Cool. Thanks, Rob.
Created a new device type with this code, and the ST device wonât open, get an error that says 'Sorry, but there was an unexpected error."
Like Toasty, I too am getting âSorry, but there was an unexpected errorâ when I click on the device in my android app. I have the paid version and have ports properly forwarded. I can view the camera remotely using the ip address and forwarded port in a web browser. I have double checked that all info is correct in ST device settings and have already deleted and reinstalled the device type and the device.
UPDATE: I installed the record app and set up a rule to snap photos when my door openedâŠand it worked. I supposed this means that the device is properly configured. I still get an error and no control panel when I click on the device in the android app.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Exactly same problem here. I can access the camera though its ip address, so itâs properly configured ports and all. However I get the unexpected error message when I click on the device in the ST app. I am using ST v2 if that makes any difference.
Has anyone gotten this to work with the V2 hub? I get the same âSorry, but there was an unexpected errorâ message.
I get the error too on Hub v2. If you click on the âRecentlyâ tab under âThingsâ for your Camera you should see pictures it has taken. You can set it to take video, but you donât see that under âRecentlyâ. Videos and pictures are stored on the phones internal memory.
I tried this and get the error âError loading tiles for %sâ. Did I copy the code incorrectly?
try to remove some of the tiles, strip it to bare camera functionality. Its temperature or battery what is breaking it, i moved to tasker for my N7 camera control so not sure now what exactly fixed it.
This is not crashing on N7:

Lind Lau,
That gets me closer as I no longer have an error, just no video.
i just had photos in carousel, when u snap a photo in app it should appear there after a while, like i said i never bothered with video , as u can add feed directly to smarttiles and thats what im using for monitoring, app is pretty useless for that.
sorry, cant be more helpfull im noobie myslf 
It was a help, thanks! I am not getting video to Smarttiles either. Just a blank box. 
can you access your feed via ip? eg. 192.168.1.22:909 ? ip should be listed somewhere in ur ruter, and port u can select in IP webcam app
if yes, try generic MJPEG. device you watching it on must be in the network otherwise u would need to forward port to your camera
In the generic MJPEG url of Smartiles, you have to put âhttp://<ipaddress>:<port>/videoâ. Note /video at the end.
Eg: http://92.156.44.13:8080/video
Actually I am seeing now it is said the very first post where it says: âhttp://username:password@{hostname or ip}:port/videoâ
Second edit: I canât get it to work with user and pass in the URL. It works without adding them to the URL but the browser will prompt for user and pass at each new session.
Thanks Lind for the tip to use generic MJPEG. At least now I can see the feed in Smarttiles. I still canât record though, but itâs one step forward.
Does this device type still work? Iâm getting an error message after configuring the device on my phone.

When I am able to communicate I get Sorry, but there was an unexpected error" is this code still useable and is there an update? am I doing something incorrect? any info would help, thanks.
So, I have this semiworking using the striped down code. I donât seem to be getting any sensor data. Is there a way to poll the webserver? I have sensor logging enabled.
ok, Iâve made some edits. Im looking at getting the mag sensor working.
This has lux working .

}Are we able to detect motion as well? This seems interesting.
