[OBSOLETE] Blue Iris Fusion - Integrate SmartThings and Blue Iris!

[JMZ]

Let me ask you this. Is it possible to make a “virtual” device in ST? In other words, could a camera be defined which runs the code that does the trigger so that they could be added into SHM or triggered otherwise “as cameras”?

You sure can! Have Blue Iris’ Alerts set for each camera to trigger a virtual switch/motion sensor via IFTTT. When BI detects motion, it uses IFTTT to “turn on” the motion sensor, and you can use SHM or any alert app you want. Here’s a thread describing how to set it up, and I have a post in there with a link to my virtual device code:

[Solved] (in a round-about way), Turn on/off outlet or switch from Blue Iris

Continuing the discussion from Trying to get "HTTP Motion Endpoint" to work from Blue Iris or web browser: Well, I’ve found a workable solution to this, using IFTTT. It’s not ideal, but it’s working, until I can either figure out why it won’t work directly, or get input from anyone who’s successfully done it. Here’s what I did to get this working. Set up outlet or switch in Smartthings. Create an IFTTT account, and connect TWO channels to it. a) Smartthings and b) Maker. In IFTTT, make a new “Recipe” (you will create 2 total). I called my first one “BlueIrisCam2On” (you may use whatever you want). Use “BlueIrisCam2On” as the Trigger. Select “Turn On” as the Action, and select your Outlet or Switch to turn on. Create a SECOND IFTTT Recipe, called “BlueIrisCam2Off”. Use “BlueIrisCam2O…
