Trigger showing IP camera stream (iFrame?) via API call

[velkrosmaak]

Loving my magicmirror setup, mainly showing Google photos and news which is great. I’ve been trying to work out how I can have the display switch to a full screen camera view when movement is detected on that camera. I’m using motioneye for the cameras, and Home Assistant for automation. From that, I can easily make an API call when movement is detected, so I wondered if there was a way I could achieve that.

I couldn’t find any plugins that seemed to support this, and the MM API docs don’t suggest this would work either. Anyone tried anything similar?

@velkrosmaak I use this
https://motion-project.github.io/
for motion detection on my MagicMirror

I don’t stream video, but it’s possible.
there are events when motion starts, and u can control what to do w the video stream.

I see! Motioneye is a web frontend for motion (https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye) but I don’t understand how the MM side would work.

@velkrosmaak trigger rtpstream or some such

I also use motion to detect and then stream the video via to the MM via MMM_SmartWebDisplay

In the motion config file (/etc/motion) search for

’ # Command to be executed when an event starts. (default: none)
'# An event starts at first motion detected after a period of no motion defined by event_gap
'# on_event_start value
'# Show iFrame in MagicMirror
on_event_start /etc/motion/notifyOn_MM.sh

'# Command to be executed when an event ends after a period of no motion
'# (default: none). The period of no motion is defined by option event_gap.
'# on_event_end value
'# Hide iFrame on MagicMirror
on_event_end /etc/motion/notifyOff_MM.sh

and the scripts could look like:

'# Show SmartWebDisplay in MagicMirror (iFrame no longer supported in MM 2.7.1)
curl --no-verbose http://:8080/remote?action=SHOW"&"module=module_10_MMM-SmartWebDisplay
