First post to this community!
I’m new to HA OS VM and I’m trying to create a notification in HA from the output from my IP camera. These are the only options I have on my camera:
Does anyone know what I would put in the fields to get it to send a http event to my HA? I hope to be able to handle the rest from there (emphasis on hope lol).
Thanks for any help.
Have a look at webhook automation triggers:
Thank you - I did try that - but my camera only has a space for the hostname/IP and even though I put /api/webhook/mywebhookcode on the end of it, it must not use POST as the method or it must be ignoring the additional path in the URL.When I tested the action from the automation page, I got the notification I was looking for so I know my HA end is setup correctly, just the camera doesn’t appear to support that feature.
Does anyone have any other ideas if this can be made to work another way?
It might help to tell the brand of your camera and, even better, point at the manual.
It is a Visualint VI-3000. I can’t find anything useful online. I am now trying to set up a proxy http get listener on another machine to receive the get then run a POST command back to HA. Getting close, but I think the VI-3000 uses http 0.9 so I’m struggling currently with the format of the listener python code (I am not a python programmer and using AI has only got me so far!).
