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

@ktcred

I don’t receive push notifications, although I have it marked as "yes,

@JMZ

It doesn’t not send notifications for triggers, only profile changes (and actually only when externally controlled, there is no local feedback so I can’t make it say whether it changed the profile or not). The debug lines in live logging will show, but that is it for now (it’s on my to do list to add). My Super Notifier App is a great notification tool if you want: [RELEASE] Super Notifier - All your alerts in one place!

If I can figure out feedback locally (probably some roundabout way of local control from smartthings to BI but then externally from BI to smartthings) we’ll get this sorted further…

@blazenmp

Considering that Stunnel will only allow it to connect via https, I think we’re safe. Did you change yours back to local now? How is it working giving the settings I mentioned?

It’s been solid, thanks! I think I found a VPN solution as well, if I can get it done I’ll post a how to.

[lkruper]

Thanks. I already have Blue Iris alerts set up to trigger the Maker channel which then can turn on a light. But what I was looking for was a way to cause a motion detector to “think” it was triggered so that SHM and other automations could use it.

I think I was asking for too much

[shaun_barrow]

This is exactly what I am looking for/thinking of.

I want to be able to use my 12 cameras in my home, that all have “motion” abilities, to trigger those as motion sensors in ST. I am going to make another topic on this.

[JMZ]

Yup! If you like further down that post you’ll see a link to my virtual
motion-switch device. If you install that device type, you can use the
Maker channel you have set up to turn on the virtual switch. The virtual
switch device type is also a motion sensor in smartthings, so when the
Maker channel turns on the switch, It registers as motion active in
smartthings. Then you set up another maker applet in IFTTT to turn off the
switch, which sets motion to inactive. Just use my virtual device type and
look through the whole thread, it sounds like you’re already 99% there!

Is this what you are looking for?

Blue Iris motion detection to activate smart app

I have a Blue Iris connected camera viewing my back door. At that same back door I have an Aeon Z Wave bulb (outside the door) and z-wave door contact switch inside. Is it possible to have Blue Iris send a signal to smart things to have that porch light turn on when motion is detected via blue iris?

I also modified this:

Blue Iris camera trigger from smart things

When a door or motion sensor opens I’d like to get smart things to trigger recording on my blue iris camera using the following HTTP command: http://192.168.1.136:81/admin?camera=Front1&trigger&user=admin&pw=12456789 Is there an existing app that can accomplish this?

to work in reverse (have a ST motion send a PTZ command to BI)

was EXACTLY what I am looking for!!

I am having an issue where I am not able to copy the URLs out of the app, that is going to be a bit of an issue for 12 cameras =D

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU!

[cozdabuch (Cosmo)]

Thank you!! This is exactly what I want too. 9 cameras are a lot of “free” motion sensors for ST to play with.
Anyone have either a tutorial using HTTP POST to trigger a virtual motion detector or some kind of integrated smart app?
PLEASE!!!

@shaun_barrow

I am having an issue where I am not able to copy the URLs out of the app, that is going to be a bit of an issue for 12 cameras =D

That app is a good solution, but I got tired of the URL changing every time I went to the app’s preferences (and then having to change it in Blue Iris), so I use a Blue Iris-IFTTT Maker Channel-Smartthings to accomplish the same thing. This post from above points to another thread about how to set it up. You won’t have to worry about coping the URLs from the app and then them changing on you if you enter preferences again. Just click below to open the post, and click the link to go to the thread, “[Solved] (in a round-about way…)”:

[DEPRECATED] [RELEASE] Blue Iris Fusion - Integrate SmartThings and Blue Iris!

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:

I use that virtual device, two IFTTT Maker applets, one to turn it “on” and one for “off” (active and no motion), and then just point Blue Iris alerts to that IFTTT channel. Haven’t had to touch it since I set it up last July. Here’s a link to the virtual device too:

jmzSmartThings/devicetypes/flyjmz/virtual-motion-switch.src at master ·...

Let me know if you have any issues. Not as clean as a smartapp and depends on IFTTT, but works just as well and doesn’t have the same mess with URLs.

@JMZ do I publish for me both parent and child app?

[JMZ]

Yup, you need to publish both in the API. It’s just when you go on your
phone to install the app, you just need to install the parent.

[JMZ]

Notifications added to triggers! I just updated both the parent and child apps in Github. Now you can have triggers send push/sms/notification center messages. Also added expanded/corrected notifications for profile changes. Be sure to update your apps, and after publishing them, open the app up on your phone to ensure the settings are correct (defaults to no notifications). Let me know if you need any help!

[JMZ]

Just updated with a slight tweak, the Smartthings App Notification tab was super cluttered having each trigger display a line, so now you can turn that on or off in each trigger’s settings.

[Nashional]

Thanks for the script! I added a “contact closed” option because I have a driveway sensor that is NO and closes when it detects a vehicle which triggers a door sensor wired to its relay.

[JMZ]

Nice! Can you share your changes code? Setting it up to trigger for either
state change is on my todo list, I could incorporate yours and add the rest!

[Nashional]

I just added a new input and event handler:

input "myContactClosed", "capability.contactSensor", title: "Contact Sensors Closing", required: false, multiple: true

subscribe(myContactClosed, "contact.closed", eventHandlerBinary)

Is it possible to add in the ability for preset positions. So when the motion is triggered I can set it to got to a certain camera position?

Yes, read my post just a couple up from yours.

[jasonrwise77 (Jason)]

Can you share the modified code, I want to be able to change a preset on motion from ST.? I downloaded what was on github but it is not doing anything.

[jasonrwise77 (Jason)]

I think I got it, but I cannot figure out the presets, what does it mean by 7+1?
