Glad you like it! I’ve enjoyed using it and making it. Unless the documentation comes out much clearer and organized, I don’t plan on converting it over to the new platform. I just don’t have the time to learn it and build it. We’ll see how long it stays working, but so far it has. I haven’t really kept up with SmartThings news though either. Life has just steered me away from these projects.
If someone out there wants to take it in and bring it into the next version that’d be awesome.
I apologize in advance if the solution is somewhere in this thread. I looked through many pages and didn’t find it. I’ve been a user of ST/WebCore for many years, but new to Blue Iris.
Issue: I’ve installed the apps and device handlers per the instructions and am confident I did this correctly. But, the profile sync is not working. Must be something wrong with the BI server since I can see the call being made in the logs from ST, but nothing on the BI side.
-I setup a new user in BI with admin access
-I’ve tried using server and local connection, no luck with either
-Using my local IP address (192.168…; tried with and without the “http://”)
-No special characters in my username and password for BI
-BI profiles are mapped to ST location modes via the BI Fusion app in ST
Just want to make sure I’m looking for the correct result: when I change a ST location mode, in BI on my PC I’m expecting the profile on the top of the screen to sync and change with it (the dropdown with colored profile)…is this correct?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
If I don’t care about being able to have smart things trigger blue iris recording and I only want motion alerts from blue iris to smart things (bi fusion) do I have to enable the less secure login?
Hi ,
Not sure that the problem I’m having is at the app side or blue iris side but :
I installed the app base on the documentation and it created 3 camera motion and switches .
When I press the switch I don’t see anything happen at the blue iris side .
I set debug mode and saw the command it passes
GET /admin?camera=back_yardHD&trigger&user=XX&pw=XXX HTTP/1.1
Accept: /
User-Agent: Linux UPnP/1.0 SmartThings
HOST: 192.XXX.XX.XX:81
When I paste it to chrome I see a new jpeg image on blue iris (Don’t know why it’s not recording video ).
I did unchecked "use secure session keys and login page " on blue iris settings .
Any Idea ?
Anyone ???
Does anyone have an update on whether or not this API to going to kill this App? Is there a date when the IDE is going away?
Has anyone figured out how to have BI send DeepStack’s type (person, car, etc.) on through to BI Fusion? Stumping me. It appears that a motion on/off is all there is?
@TAustin created two edge drivers and a forwarding bridge that can replace much of the functionality (all for my use case) of this smartapp, and do it all LOCAL!
With Web Requestor I have the BI server Profiles switching based on SmartThings location mode changes (e.g. ST changes to Away, set BI Profile to 1) and triggering cameras based on SmartThings events (e.g. opening door triggers a camera). See post 73 for a few hints related to BI.
With his LAN Motion Driver and Forwarding Bridge driver, you can use your cameras as motion sensors just like the current integration (setting up ‘on alerts’ and ‘on reset’ trigger events with local URL to bridge server, which forwards them to the hub vice to smartthings api forwarding to hub) to inform your hub, through the Forwarding Bridge, that motion has occured and/or stopped.
I’ve been using both setups for a relatively short period of time, but they have both worked perfectly in that time.
A huge thank you for your drive on this. Your work with @TAustin is nothing short of astounding. I’m no developer so I greatly appreciate this work. It’s people like you 2 (and all the other Edge and DTH devs) who spend time to help improve and extend capabilities with zero expectations of compensation that demonstrate what a community can achieve.
Thanks again for all the hard work!
Thank for this app. I am new to this and I am having difficulty getting ST to relay the Modes to BI (HOME/AWAY/NIGHT). I haven’t even begun to start on motion, not a high interest to me yet. I not sure where to start trouble shooting this. DHT has BI camera and server, Smart Apps has BI Fusion published and Trigger unpublished. I see the cameras on the app for motion only. Maybe they aren’t really talking yet? I do have my BI IP address in there and its on the same network.
I assume this has stopped working due to the changes to smart things. Where do we go from here.
I’d start here: [ST Edge] Breaking boundaries: supporting Blue Iris motion alerts and Shelly wifi Motion Sensors
You can run the edge bridge on your bi server.
Super easy setup and wholly local.
