if you use the app, you have a sensor in HA (at default) called sensor.foscam_motion
the value from that sensor is 0, 1 or 2
0 = motion detection disabled
1 = no alarm
2 = motion detected.
so you could create an app or automation that if that sensor turns to 2 a notify is send.
Great. I will give that a try. Thanks
i noted that you use that and i will create a simple setting in the new version i am working on.
I wanted to setup a ip camera with all the ptz features for my new born baby. And I was thinking of getting the C1 as it’s cheap.
Can you suggest other cameras with ptz features? I was hoping the C1 would have the ptz features.
fosbaby?
i am quite sure that that one also would work with these controls.
it has even more (like temperature sensor)
@thundergreen i just saw another topic
it seems that cameras are broken by updating Hass to 0.51.2
i think you need to wait untill there is a fix or downgrade your Hass version.
Yeah I checked that out but I am put off as it doesn’t have 2 way communication.
Do you think any cheap ip camera would work with the features that you have described in your original post?
i think thats the best choice because its the cheapest foscam ptz
my app will only work with foscam cameras.
it has 2 way communication see this link

i have it in my wishlist also. so in the future i will probably add the extra options from this cam to the app as well.
Thanks. Have you sent out any new versions lately? I know I’m using the one from the begin of this post.
no, not yet.
still working on the new version.
i got a bit delayed because there where a lot of other things i wanted at the same time (like automaticly creating a good dashboard)
i have been busy completely rewriting the app, with more visual feedback from the cam, because there are lots of times that communication with the cam goes wrong
Yeah i agree that communication sometimes lags anyway I’ll restart the cam tonight and will see if it works again. If I’ve working on new version please add function reboot as this is available from cgi commands 
to be able to reboot, you need to be able to reach the cam.
when i have a problem with the cam its mostly needed to power down.
but ill consider it
I just noticed that I can not pan, tilt or send the cameras to a preset any more from the app.
Maybe since I updated to 0.53.0?
did you update appdaemon lately?
No i have not. Should I?
no but that would explain a lot
if your functions wont work, then probably appdaemon is not running.
so check that and the log from appdaemon.
yeah, it tells that appdaemon isnt connected to HA.
clear your logs, and restart Appdaemon and see if there are problems.
github page can not load
sorry, i did a complete reorganize from my github.
