Find the alternate firmware files compatible with the version of HASSOS that you are running or are going to be running after the next reboot.The high-level overview of what needs to be done is: A fix was applied and core versions 2021.11.3 and later work once again, so avoid core versions 2021.8.0 through 2021.11.2 to retain a working rpi_camera. Shortly after HASSOS 6.0 was released, some code change between Home Assistant Core 2021.7.4 and Home Assistant Core 2021.8.1 broke the camera support on HASSOS platforms. Therefore much of this guide is obsolete - only the last two sections need to be followed (enable the camera in config.txt and reboot). If you have a different setup your mileage may vary (but hopefully you'll get enough hints from the below to get it working).Īs of HASSOS 6.0, as mentioned in the closing notes of on June 17th 2021, the alternate firmware files are automatically included in the builds. They have worked for me on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ running HASSOS 4.11 through 4.15. The steps below attempt to describe the steps that need to be performed. HASSOS does not include either the alternate firmware or the raspi-config program, so all of the steps need to be done manually. On Raspberry Pi OS (and many others), the alternate firmware is included with the OS installation image, and switching to the alternate firmware is accomplished by running raspi-config and selecting "Enable Camera" from the menu.


įor the camera to work at all, an alternate firmware needs to be loaded when the Raspberry Pi boots. Getting the Raspberry Pi Camera to Work on HASSOSĮnabling the Raspberry Pi camera on HASSOS installations is unfortunately not as simple as connecting the camera and configuring Home Assistant as described at.
