Show active Blue Iris Profile

1

I have Blue Iris integrated into HA and working fine. I can see all of my different profiles and have toggles to turn them on and off. I’m looking for a way to display a summary of only what profile is active in Lovelace. Is there any way to do that and if so any examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Hi,

Not 100% sure what you mean by “only what profile is active in lovelace” but in case it is what i am thinking i am sharing what i do know the currently active BI profile.

I created these two sensors. The second one ‘bi_current_profile’ is added as an entity card in lovelace. Is this what you wanted?

- platform: mqtt
  name: "BI System Status"
  unique_id: blueiris_system_status_sensor
  state_topic: "BlueIris/status"
- platform: template
  sensors:
    bi_current_profile:
      friendly_name: 'BI Current Profile'
      value_template: >
        {% set bi_profile = states('sensor.bi_system_status').split() %} 
        {% if bi_profile[1] == 'profile=3' %} {% set bi_profile = 'Home' %}
        {% elif bi_profile[1] == 'profile=1' %} {% set bi_profile = 'Active' %}
        {% elif bi_profile[1] == 'profile=4' %} {% set bi_profile = 'Away' %}
        {% elif bi_profile[1] == 'profile=0' %} {% set bi_profile = 'Inactive' %}
        {% endif %}
        {{ bi_profile }}
