Enable/disable motion detection through api / command?

[pomsep]

Hello. I've a commercial licence of xeoma and I would like to know if you've any future plans
releasing a version where motion detection can be enabled/disabled through
command/api ?

If such feature was present, I could make a custom mobile app to enable/disable motion detection by clicking
a single button.

I would like to use xeoma as alarm system and this feature would be very desirable.

Thanks
Tassos

Hello!
Thank you for your interest in our software.

It's a good idea, we'll gladly add this feature in one of the future versions.

Hi again Tassos!

We're getting ready to release a module that will receive http commands - much like what you want to do - so that you will be able to turn on or off the chain after this module. When it's on, all following modules will get the image and work as usual. When it's off, the following modules will not get the image (the image will be blocked) and won't work.

Will it work for you? Or what you need is not to disable motion detector but to get it to the Skipping state when it doesn't work yet doesn't block image either?

Is this option already available?
I like to disable some options..like send e-mail when motion.
Trigger will be done form Fibaro Hc2. When Alarm Disarmed no e-mail..

[Admin_N]

Yes, it is ready. There wasn't an official release with the HTTP switcher yet but we can send you a beta version to see if it works for you. Will that do?

What is your OS? How many bit?

Has this been compiled into linux64? I'd love to try it out.

Hello!

Please try this version with new "HTTP switcher" module and let us know if it works for you.

Hi, thanks for the beta.

I've installed it and have attempted to set it up. When I first opened the HTTP Switcher it was pre populated with url information and I began to test. Before I could get it to work it reported an error with the assigned port and now that error is persisting no matter what port I try to listen on. As you can see on the attached image I've changed the port to a free on at 10097 but still have that error.

Any Ideas?

- I haven't had a chance to test the sender module yet but will report back when I get a chance.

[bretzle]

Actually, just let me play for a bit. I've put in my own commands and I'm getting a response in the browser....

[bretzle]

Ok Disregard that. It seems to be working. I'm testing the sender now

[bretzle]

HTTP Request Sender doesn't seem to be working on Linux64. I'm not sure if it's the sending method as the HTTP Request Sender config window is returning "connection was tested successfully" for both POST and GET methods. I don't believe that my OS supports these methods though, I've been working with curl.

I have the sender modules setup like this: Camera -> Marking -> Scheduler -> HTTP Request Sender. It's sending a request to a HTTP Switcher running on the same server. I've ignored the extra parameters and have entered the full HTTP request into the "hostname or ip address" field.

Can you see any problems with this setup? I can write a script to run independent from Xeoma as a work-around for the time being.

Hello!

How would you expect the module to work? Would you expect it to send commans regularly, at certain intervals? Could you please describe a situation in which you are planning to use it?

[bretzle]

Hi,

I don't think it would be the intended use but I was trying to get scheduler to activate the sender once a day. So it is set up as a direct connection from scheduler to the sender.

The application runners are performing a simlar task by calling a script which in turn sends a http request via curl.

As you can also see the HTTP Switcher is turning motion email alerts on and off. This seems to be working.

As a feature request, would it be possible to see in the UI when a module is switched off or on, similar to how a module is greyed out when deactivated.

Cheers.

In your screenshot the Scheduler which is connected to HTTP Sender is turned off. When you tested it, was it on?

[bretzle]

Yes it was on when I was testing it.
