<![CDATA[Does MMM SleepWake block webcam?]]>Hi all,

Newbie here. Done lots reading though!

I’d like to know if the webcam can be used for anything else other than motion detection please. E.g. can I have a simultaneous rtsp video stream?

https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-SleepWake would be my main purpose for the webcam in my mirror of course.

Many thanks!

I think it might work yes. I will give it a try when I have a chance.

(default it’s on port 8081, 8082 or 8083 as I recall. I disable that function on my systems

and can do it when motion starts and stop when motion stops

see the doc
