[REQUIRED] Description of problem: I integrated a button in the frontend to shutdown / reboot the cameras over a poe switch. When the camera is off the string is "camera is unavailable" is displayed on top of the view followed by json data. Expected would be only a view of the string without the json output

[OPTIONAL] Last working release (if known):

[OPTIONAL] Javascript errors shown in the web inspector:

[OPTIONAL] Additional information:

Firstly, recommend changing to the latest beta which changes some of how unavailable cameras are handled: https://github.com/dermotduffy/frigate-hass-card/releases/tag/v6.0.0-beta.8

Can you include a screenshot of what appears? You want the diagnostics message to not appear? The issue here is of course that it is hard for the card to tell the difference between:

• A camera is unavailable and you expect that
• A camera is unavailable and you don't expect that [and might want the message to appear...]

Hi, same request here, I would that if cameras are disabled in frigate they don't appear in birdseye or just their name. At this time we see:

[dermotduffy]

@tootai The card cannot control what does or does not show up in birdseye, that is decided by the Frigate backend. I'd recommend you update to the latest beta (linked in my previous comment on this issue), as it changes how an unavailable camera behaves (does not block the whole card the way it does in v5.20).
