Installation Home Assistant OS

What kinda settings do I have to set if I only want it to upload the pictures taken from the motion detection? so not the snapshot picture.

22

nvm, change the image_name to lastsnap, and snapp image off.

Thanks for this awesome add-on!

hi,
thank you for the addon it works great, I just have 2 questions:
how does the webcontrol work?
is it posible to turn off the picture saving feature and use motion just for streaming?

24

Hi!

thanks a lot for addon! Though it worked really good before, but with the new version HassOS the add can’t be set up. Could you please resolve this problem?

I’m not familiar with HassOS - can you provide any error messages?

26

you can enter webcontrol over the specified port (default: 8081)

for streaming you will need to provide your own motion.conf file and enable the streaming settings. please see the documentation for that: https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#stream_port
But I have never tested that - probably I need to add a port setting for that in the addon

Hi, Romanski!

Hi Romanski,

I also have an old lying PS3 Eye camrea, which is a very capable device. Are you still actively working on your addon. I am running Hassio 0.84.6 , can I simply install your addon and expect it to work directly, or are there any specific steps in order I need to follow to make it work.

Secondly is the main use case only meant for for capturing images on motion detection or can it do live streaming as well, maybe for both audio and video.

A little guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

No, I’m not actively working on the addon… you can simply try it if it works for you. Audio streaming will not be supported - never tried it. The addon just provides a simple set of function, for every thing more customized you have to provide your own motion.conf file
