Hello!

I have my Nest system set up with Homebridge and working well. Since I set that up, my cameras have only been sensors and I cannot view the live feed. I discovered this plug in, but I cannot seem to get it to work. I added "Nest-cam" to platforms, but I am getting an unreadable config error. I am also confused as to what to do with ffmpeg. I installed it successfully, but I am kind of confused as to add it in to the config.json (referring to the pre-made you linked in the readme.

There is an extra comma at the end of the config.

Was just about to post a comment that I fixed it :)

I put everything back into the Home app, but they are coming up as sensors again and not cameras. I have 3 indoor cams and 1 outdoor. What do you think the problem could be?

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Figured out the cameras too haha! Just had to add them as other accessories.
