Purchased some of these beauties, https://www.amazon.ca/Wyze-Wireless-Camera-Android-Version/dp/B076H3SRXG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541290010&sr=8-3&keywords=wyze, for the house to replace my way more expensive - but dead - IP cameras. With the addition of a small/cheap 4-16GB SD card and an awesome hack from https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks, I can link them to my existing home PVR. I've used Sighthound for years https://www.sighthound.com/, but you don't need to have any software to use these cameras with with Duet Wifi. All you need to do is extract the folder 'firmware_mod' from the Dafang zip file to the root of your sd card. Edit the file \config\usb_eth_driver.conf.dist and add your SSID and password (only 2.4 Ghz). Rename \config\usb_eth_driver.conf.dist\ to \config\usb_eth_driver.conf. That sets up your Wi-Fi connectivity. Once you figure out the cameras IP just enter it into your browser http://www.xxx.yyy.zzz, you will be prompted for the user name 'root' and password 'ismart12' - all lowercase. You can, and should, change the password straight away. Monkey around with the settings but make sure under the camera controls you have RTSP h264 server running. Probably don't need to change much. Then go to your Duet W-Fi under Settings / User Interface enter this for the camera address https://www.xxx.yyy.zzz/cgi-bin/currentpic.cgi - replacing www.xxx.yyy.zzz with the camera IP. Set the web cam update interval to your liking, mine is set at 1 sec. Save your settings and when printing the job status window will update with an image from your camera based on the update interval you entered.
The cameras will also work, generally, in low to no light, I forgot where i got the info but think it just needs a file in the config folder called 'autonight.conf.sw' and all it contains is '-S'

Interesting, turning it off seems to have done the trick. However turning it back on doesn't make it jump any more. Will see how it goes and report back

@Foden Happy Days!!! Was able to apply the 3.2.2 upgrade and it applied OK. Wifi showed as connected but not able to connect to it just yet. Will reset and retry that shortly

@fcwilt BLTouch was working great, just bugs me that I can't get the Piezo to work for better accuracy. THat is back on so will re-calibrate and leave it now

Thanks again everyone, my DuetWifi and HEVO are back in sync. Have put back my BLTouch to replace the Orion as it was ticking me off, once i get some better prints I mat put it back.

BLTouch is now dialed in and I just need to tweak the prints to stop extraneous links between parts - another self inflected issue I'm sure.

Not replacing the cracked carriage until it fails completely - it's a royal PITA replacing it and setting up again IMHO

Have made note to self that whenever I monkey around with the hotend and/or carriage I run an autotune, fan on fill, before i do anything else ;o)

@Phaedrux Hi

IP was correct, cache was cleared and tried different browser - also tried different PC completely - no go. Left everything switched off for a few hours then powered it up and left it alone for 15mins. Bingo - able to connect to it via the web - no idea what the hell that was all about. Powered it off/on a few times and each time all good.

@fcwilt Nah, likely its me - I've been known to be defective before ;o). I have 2 Orions and 2 of the previous PCB's and have never been able to get the consistency i have with the BLTouch

@danal Noticed that myself awhile back but didn't see your post until now. My fix, workaround really is to open a browser and go to the cameras IP. It will prompt for username & password and then show you what it sees. No surprise there, however - go back to the web page your Duet is on and you will be happy to see the camera view will now miraculously work!
