I tried to use the camerapi-takephoto node and it doesn't work on RPi with Bullseye OS because it needs picamera2 library. Is there another node available for taking photos with the RPi camera?

Since you have opened an issue on the node's [GitHub page](https://github.com/O-Hahn/node-red-contrib-camerapi/issues/34) the you'll have to wait for a reply from the author.

Meanwhile you could try using an `exec` node to use the new commands. Here is a link hat might help:
