I have zoneminder as well. My install method is a virtual environment on Ubuntu 17.10. I am also using the switch component of zoneminder and I do not have this issue when I updated to 0.68

Here is my config.yaml for the switch component which is what this error is about:

 - platform: zoneminder
   command_on: Record
   command_off: None

I've got zoneminder on a VM... haven't updated or otherwise touched it in a few months. I'm pretty confident the change is on the HA side.

FWIW, it's working fine for me still on 0.68 and 0.69 using hass.io.

@mnoorenberghe what version of zm ? Gonna check the api for zm, when I get home
