A custom camera component that allows you to see the detected regions from the OpenCV image processor in Home-Assistant. Add this to your configuration directory: {CONFIG_DIRECTORY}/custom_components/opencv.py

@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
