same problem...camera.opencv not found

Platform not found: image_processing.opencv Platform not found: camera.opencv

Please remove this platform from Home Assistant, because it is not working

Please read this and make the necessary changes....https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2019/04/03/release-91/#notable-breaking-change

@klassnicolaas that doesn't help. Does the opencv.py need to be in something like "custom_components/opencv/sensor.py"? or custom_components/opencv/camera.py"? I've tried the following and none seem to work:

custom_components/opencv/sensor.py
custom_components/opencv/camera.py
custom_components/camera/opencv.py
custom_components/camera/sensor.py

Thoughts?

@klaasnicolass show us your setup

We have decide to remove the link on the documentation page.
