NameError: uninitialized constant Dropcam::Base::OpenSSL about dropcam HOT 7 OPEN

The openssl gem is required and it appears it isn't installed on your machine. Try installing openssl and compile ruby with openssl support, which is pretty easy using RVM.

I was able to get it working using https://rvm.io/packages/openssl/.

Thanks.

Now to setup a cron job to turn ON and OFF the dropcam to save from uploading video of an empty room.

Since this topic is still open I'll post here as I'm getting the same error with Ruby 2.0.0-p247:

$ ruby -v

However, OpenSSL itself seems to be working with Ruby just fine:

$ irb
> require 'openssl'
=> true
> key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new 2048
=> #<OpenSSL::PKey::RSA:0x007fd0b137ae68>

Any other ideas what could be triggering this error?

By the way, this seems to be working fine with Ruby 1.9.3-p448. It's only 2.x that seems to be having issues.

from dropcam.

I'll take a look and see. The library was only tested with 1.9.3 and there may be some landmines with adding support for 2.x.

@nolanbrown understandable, I wouldn't sweat it too much. It's easy to set RBENV_VERSION as an ENV variable before running the script ;)

This fixed it for me:
#8
