From Home Assistant 2023.12.3 camera entity ID changed / new Logs storage folder.

[sca075]

Dear All,

working on the new release of the camera and testing some new function, I need to point out there was no change on our code to this part.. anyhow:

1. Setting up the camera from 0 now result on a new unique_id that would be "camera.valetudo_yourRobot_camera".
2. If the camera is already setup there is no change on the unique_id, this means not expected broken configurations.

This is just to inform you that actually we will not change anything to correct this.

From the next version, the camera will no longer store data in the www folder unless you decide to do so.

• Snapshot PNG can be enable from the options, as soon disabled and home assistant or the camera is restart, the PNG will be deleted from the www folder.
• About the debug logs, when enabled by configuration as example:

logger:
  default: ERROR
  logs:
    custom_components.valetudo_vacuum_camera: debug

• the your_vacuum.zip containing the logs (that are filtered.. meaning no data from integrations, except

[custom_components.valetudo_vacuum_camera] will be saved), we save also the mqtt topic of the vacuum from the last image, will be now store in the .storage folder.

• If you want easily retrieve the files on the options menu there will be a "copy function" that will be transferring the zip file on the www folder, from were you can download it with a file editor (VS Code for example), or copy it via Samba or whatever other mean you prefer.
• As per the snapshot PNG when restarting home assistant or reload the camera, this zip file if in www folder will be deleted automatically.

If there is anything to clarify let me know.
The above is valid also for when you enable the debug function from home assistant GUI, please note that the filtered data are not in the file that will be automatically downloaded from home assistant UI when you disable the debug. The log from the camera will be anyhow available in the storage, and update when the vacuum is in dock, idle or error.
