[Bug] Camera feed should be from camera domain, not image domain

[marcinbauer85]

Describe the bug

The current camera feed is using the image entity type, rather than camera which makes it difficult to publish via Homekit integration and use in other situations.

To Reproduce

1. Add your printer via the integration
2. Preview the camera feed (will be image.printer_camera)

Expected Behaviour

The camera feed should be from the camera domain, not image

Same issue is present on P1 printers, only X1 sends video codec.

Have you managed to find a workaround @marcinbauer85? I've came across some converters, but I did not have any luck to get it working.

[marcinbauer85]

@honzis1364 unfortunately not.

Same here, it would make everything much easier to have it as cammera and not as image :/ I have tried a lot of ways to change it, but did not find any workaroud.

I think the image domain also leads to a LOT of unnecessary database usage since it refreshes every second and writes an entry:

I have the same frustrations with this in my A1 I’d like to bridge the camera to HomeKit but I can’t as it’s an image sensor not a camera

I've added PR #595 to fix this.

Resolving as completed with #595.
