Generic Camera Device using local connection (new version now available)

[JZst]

@pstuart - I just wanted to thank you because I simply could not have done any of the few projects I’m linking below to show you how and where your work evolved. Here’s is one notion that feel compelled to share. I’m now changing device ID to random number at end of execution so multiple devices can point to the same internal IP. This has been really useful especially when I want to point to the single Raspberry Pi but run completely different Device Handler logic. Here’s the line of code I use and it’s done at the end of the parse() function right before doing any returns.

device.deviceNetworkId = "ID_WILL_BE_CHANGED_AT_RUNTIME_" + (Math.abs(new Random().nextInt()) % 99999 + 1)

Here’s a list of my projects of mine that borrow a LOT of your contributions Thanks again, not only for figuring this out but sharing it with us. FYI, lots of folks fail above and have corrupt images. Your description of the issue is more than clear and I made sure to open a support case to give them a piece of my mind. The hubAction/S3 integration breaks at about the 40KB mark.

Raspberry Pi with PHP (or Arduino/ESP8266/NodeMCU) to GPIO to Relay to Gate/Garage Trigger

Hi all, I’m pretty excited to be able to bring this project. It ties together and old Raspberry Pi running latest version of Raspbian with HTTPD and a PHP script. The PHP code runs the gpio command in order to trigger pin 4 of the RPi for a second then turns it off. This triggers a simple 5v relay which in-turn shorts out my gate. The obvious difference of what I’m sharing here is the fact that I wrote a SmartThings Device Handler which uses a “hubaction” which means it can be triggered from a WAN connection w/o having to put your device out on the web with a public IP. The hub performs a local action on a local IP. The project is essentially a generic HTTP Device Handler for SmartThings. The goal was to keep it as small/simple as possible. So it consists only of a single PHP script and …

SmartGPIO - Raspberry Pi with PHP Returns GPIO Pin Status to ST Image Tile

Hi all, This project consists of a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian OS. It runs HTTPD with index.php as the source. The PHP has many functions but this device driver is specifically to see the GPIO status of all pins in a picture format. Here’s a related topic which contains the PHP file needed. I didn’t want to keep a copy in two places so pick up index.php from this post: [https://community.smartthings.com/t/raspberry-pi-to-php-to-gpio-to-relay-to-gate-garage-trigger/43335] Use the TEST button first to make sure that you install a required graphic component for PHP called php5-gd. Once my app senses that this component exists, it will populate the image tile. Otherwise the TAKE button will not work and not return an image as expected. SOURCE CODE: Enjoy! [image][image]

Panasonic PTZ IP Camera

Hi all, I have taken a few related local IP camera projects and heavily modified them to give me the ability to use my older Panasonic PTZ IP Camera. The biggest difference of what this Device Handler offers is the PTZ feature and a few presets that can be defined on the camera which the Device Handler can activate. The project was tested with the following Panasonic models: BL-C30A BB-HCM511A BB-HCM531A Thanks to: @pstuart & @blebson SOURCE CODE: https://github.com/JZ-SmartThings/SmartThings/tree/master/Devices/Panasonic%20PTZ%20Camera Enjoy!

All the best!
