OK got pan-tilt control from HASS using the command line switch:

switch:
  platform: command_line
  switches:
    pan_tilt:
      command_on: 'python /home/pi/Desktop/basic_pan_tilt_RC.py -90 -20'
      command_off: 'python /home/pi/Desktop/basic_pan_tilt_RC.py 50 -20'

and the script basic_pan_tilt_RC.py:

import pantilthat
import sys
import time

pan_angle = int(sys.argv[1])
tilt_angle = int(sys.argv[2])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pantilthat.tilt(tilt_angle)
    pantilthat.pan(pan_angle)
    time.sleep(0.5)

VIdeo on Youtube:

Will next create a custom component.
Ideas for automations include triggered sweep of an area and motion tracking.
Cheers
