I'd be interested to know if the just released firmware changes this. I was seeing fragility in the handy app video feed with the P1 1.4 firmware but it seems to be solid now with the 1.5 firmware.

I have A1 and even without this integration I often get a black screen in the handy app or the studio. I have no idea why this happens, I think it's not related to this integration.

[AdrianGarside]

That's true. Before I had the camera image added to the integration I was seeing it being very flaky / not loading in the handy app with my P1P. When they enabled cloud access the reliability for viewing it tanked with way slower startup perf even when it worked and frequently it failed to work.

Yes, sometimes, but with the integration in my case it is ALWAYS being displayed flawesly on HA, not on handy unless I reboot HA and spam handy refreshing the camera, then I get it on the app for a while until HA takes over again.

No changes on latest firmware, on the beta was broken for both tho (at least on my A1). Now it is always working on HA. I wish the stream was liberated if it was not used tho... it is weird to see it always black in the app

The latest dev release: https://github.com/greghesp/ha-bambulab/releases/tag/v2.0.15-dev4

Persists your choice of manual refresh mode. Does turning on manual refresh mode in the integration unbreak your camera feed in the handy app?

This version seems to fix the issue :) I will test more later, when the printer is running to notice the update rate

[eried]

Actually it is still the same problem 😵 maybe an easier solution would be to add a function to detach the stream? Manually

[AdrianGarside]

Turning on manual refresh mode detaches all connections to the printer including for the camera images.

oh ok! I will test. Will the odometer keep the right count if the manual mode is on?

[AdrianGarside]

No it won't. The integration basically has to be running continuously while a print is occurring for that to work. If you mean usage hours. If you just want a snapshot of current state there's a fresh button you can click (or automate) that will connect refresh all the state from the printer and then disconnect again.
