image.a1_camera no longer being provided by bambu_lab integration

[rhinoTV]

I've set up automations that used this snapshot entity "image.a1_camera" it worked for a while but now HA is saying that the entity is no longer being provided by the bambu_lab integration. the camera streaming still works. What's going on here? What can I try to get the entity working again?

Thanks all!

I think the name changed - have a look for an entity "camera.a1_camera"

Thanks for the reply, yes the streaming works for camera.a1_camera entity, but I was using the following automation code to send iPhone notifications with a still image from the camera attached. I'm very new to HA and Bambu, but this code worked well for a couple of days and then stopped working. It was definitely working with image.a1_camera entity.

Is there another better way to send a capture from the printer camera?

I'm afraid I'll have to leave that to others with more HA knowledge than me :P Hope you get it working again.

I think I just figured it out! I needed to enable "Use image sensor camera". Then it started working again.

Except that causes the camera streaming to be unavailable to HA. I still need a solution to keep camera active and enable image sensor camera.

you could take a snapshot from the camera and use that, it works for me:

Got it. Thanks for the help!
