Single camera works, multiple cameras show me an error

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to integrate a second camera. But I can’t get the config to work …

Using each camera standalone using the camera_entity syntax works like a charm.
As soon as I try to add multiple cameras using the cameras: syntax, I get an error that the camera_entity and/or the camera_name needs to be specified - which I thought I did.

What am I doing wrong?

type: custom:frigate-card
cameras:
  - camera_entity: camera.backyard
  - camera_entity: camera.frontyard
view:
  default: snapshots
menu:
  buttons:
    frigate: false

@selmaohneh I added a new convenience option for the upcoming v4 build to make it much easier to depend on all cameras (even if you had a large volume of them). Going to close this now, but let me know if (after the new build is released) this doesn’t do what you envisaged.

PS: Based on your description of your usecase, you may also be interested in the new scan mode feature.

Yeah - updating the card solved the error. The remaining problem was my idea of the concept:

I thought I setup two cameras and when opening the card I see the snapshots of both cameras in the same view merged, i.e. no need to switch between cameras inside the view.

But if that is currently not a feature, consider this issue closed and I’ll wait for v4 😃
