Netatmo welcome camera add support for turn on and of monitoring

Feature Requests
1

The netatmo welcome camera component for homeassistant works well, but it would be great to add support for suspend and resume monitoring, like a switch.

would be great to be able to automate camera on or off based on time, or presence information from devices and so on.

Regards,
Emil

Hi Emil,

facing the same issue as you - did you get this fixed / going?

Thanks for any feedback!

Best,
Marcus

Same issue here. Would love to be able to turn on/off the camera (off during the day when we are home). Is there a solution for this right now?

4

This is not supported by the official API yet.

Have solved this issue now with camera.disable_motion_detection / camera.enable_motion_detection. Does exactly what I looked for - maybe also helpful for you.

Thanks. This has recently been added.

When I call the service camera.disable_motion_detection, I got an error 'Failed to call service"

Here are the logs:

I have no idea what is this error. Can anyone help me to fix it ?
Thanks in advance,

What camera do you have?

10

I have the indoor Netatmo Welcome

Actually there is no such thing for Netatmo cameras. You can only turn them off completely.
That’s the reason it was removed about a year ago.
Just use camera.turn_off instead.

Oh, did not know that. Thanks a lot.
camero.turn_off works.

Yeah, not sure if it was explicitly mentioned back then.
