Hi,
I would like to make an automation to switch on a light when my webcam on my PC will be on.
Is there a way to expose a handle of when the webcam is on?
EDIT:
PC is windows 10 and camera connected via usb and it will be used for MS Teams and Zoom.
HA is running on a different server (debian + docker)
you are right and sorry for that.

will take a look … is there a way to expose the windows events?
I was hoping there is an app that once can install on the PC, and once the webcam is active it will change it status or send a trigger. anyway will take a look
So far I installed it and together with the Mosquitto Broker Add-on from Supervisor I now have a sensor entity that shows me if the webcam is on/off (and the same for the microphone).
No long-term experience yet, but so far it looks promising.
