Cams not working on Amazon Echo Show 10 [SOLVED]
-
I’m having same problem here too with Amcrest cams and echo show. Went out on Sunday and never came back again. Noproxy no workie either.

@simonocle
Hi thanks for the response are you using the gateway?

@markar85
Same here. Adding @noproxy … Alexa says having trouble reaching “name of camera” -
Problem seems to be that the proxy server is down and the developer is not aware.
I am using the local gateway and don’t need the proxy server.
-
Yea. This appears to be broken now. It has worked for years and now none of my UNIFI cameras work.
-
looks like their Proxy Server is down:
https://stats.monoclecam.com/Does anyone know how to contact them? They must not know that it is down.
-
Bringing the cloud proxy back up hasn’t resolved my issues. I moved to local gateway/proxy and getting errors too.
-
I was able to find the developer and I reached out to him directly. He fixed the proxy server and all my cameras are working again. You must have some other issue on your network.
-
huge thanks. I’m fixed 6 - for 6 cams fully Alexa-ized again.
Did he/she mention what the fix was? Does this fix translate to the Gateway package thats avail for download?Curious, as I was exploring local gateway vs cloud - it seemed Alexa was much more responsive on cloud. Anyone else feel that way?
-
My Echo Show 10 is showing the camera again. Thanks for fixing it.
-
Congratulation to monocle team ! All Is fixed now
-
I have a echo show 10 gen. 1 and a echo show 10 gen. 3.
Echo show 10 gen. 1 = Cameras working
Echo show 10 gen. 3 = Cameras not working (he tell me: the camera does not respond)
I don’t use a gateway.I’m not understanding that gen.1 is working and gen.3 is not. Have someone an explanation for it?
-
@xdowner hi.
I sent my gen 3 back. The OS security on that particular device is further developed and tighter. A lot of work was done (by me and others) to debug and chase the source of the problem and it ultimately came down to something on the Amazon side that couldn’t be overcome.
If you’re interested, and in the hopes of enlightening others - please read this thread thoroughly for more info:
https://forum.monoclecam.com/topic/993/amazon-echo-show-10-inch/14Finally, I want to add here on Monoclecam forums - I have been working/writing drivers for smart home devices and one implementation was specific to using a BI image background to a device tile - during that work - much of the dev’s on the Hubitat forums have been discussing noticed changes happening at Amazon. Other, well known and heavily used drivers and apps have been having problems, hiccups. It seems that SSL and tls1.2 are become hard set in all OS’s and this is having a dramatic impact. As Dev’s all over the world try to keep up - realize Amazon does NOT help for sh*T and their doc’s are barely valuable in many cases. I personally stumbled over a recently published document at Amazon about new requirements.
End users that take advantage and enjoy the value and power of Monocle and other 3rd party products are going to be impacted and all I can say is ‘pray’. As the direction of Amazon changes - some may walk away, some may throw their shoulders into the task, and others will succeed. It is the way of things. (paraphrasing Gandalf) -
Thanks good to know. I send my gen. 3 back too.
Does anyone know what’s about show 8 gen.2 and 3.
Is monocle working on both devices like show 10 2gen. ?
Has anyone’s experience with it?
Thanks for helping
