@Eric_H cool. some questions
how do u control the brightness? do all monitors/TV’s respond the same way?
I have some software already connected to my webcam, are u just taking screen shots? how many images do u need at one time?
-
Thank you @sdetweil .
- I control the brightness by sending a notification to the MMM-RemoteControl module (code already written and working, no reason to re-invent), found here.
- Since the brightness is set programmatic ally via css in that module, I’m not sure how various monitors would react, but I tested on three here, including the one behind the mirror, and they seem to work quite the same.
- I’m taking a single shot once every configurable interval, with a default of 60 seconds.
Hope I answered all of your questions.
Eric
