I am trying to get Smartthing to turn my iSpy server on or off but it’s not working (below the code to turn it ON):

Guess what I am trying to do - see my code.

Could someone please explain how is this really done step by step. I red instructions from:
https://www.ispyconnect.com/userguide-http.aspx
but can’t figure out what to do. Where should I add code and how?

I’m trying to do same thing as “CoolVariable”. I would like to activate Ispy only when smarthome monitor is set armed (away) or armed (stay). Now Ispy records all the time…even when family is home and there’s movement in every camera all the time.

Thanks Robin!! I was able to install webcore but I have a problem when creating “then” in a piston. I think I’m missing something obvious.
This is what I do:
*************************************************************/
execute
if
Smart Home Monitor status is Disarmed
+ add a new condition
then
+ add a new statement
else
+ add a new statement
end if;
+ add a new statement
end execute

I choose “Then” and “Action”. Should there be some kind of device which allows to send web requests? All I see is this:

Webcore_then

Just found it… thanks! Let’s see what is the next problem :smiley:

Alright so now I understand how to install webcore, what it basically does and how to create pistons. Now the biggest issue is to understand what this piston really does:

EDIT: here was a lot of nonsense so here’s what is going on.
EDIT: more nonsense

Now it’s working!! I had a small typo but now everything is working. Thank You David!! I learn something new today and I’m really happy.

Can you write a guide?

  1. First you have to install webcore (video is posted in this topic).
  2. Then create new piston. My piston looks like this:

lataus
lataus.png694×590 14.6 KB

  1. Install Ispy server and set there ip access settings (you lan network to access ispy server, mine is 192.168.86.*) Now any ip address from your local network is able to send ispy server certain web requests.

  2. Now piston should be doing its job.

When st is Disarmed then recording in ispy is off.
In my scenario when st is armed then I need ispy to record on detection cause my other things are using ispy streams even when st is disarmed. Web request command depends on your need. If you just want piston to turn ispy off when disarmed then use http://192.168.86.15:8080/alloff. And when st is armed and you want ispy to record then use http://192.168.86.15:8080/allon.

Hope this helps.
