kevincol Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 There was a topic on this back in 2014, that was for Blue Iris 4. The same method doesn't seem to work in Blue Iris 5. I simply want to take a motion event from a camera managed by Blue Iris 5 and execute a program in ISY994i to turn on a light for 5 minutes and then turn it off. I can't find any instructions on how to do that. I see that there is Polygot mentioned for integration between Blue Iris 5 and ISY994i, but I don't really want to install a nodeserver to just do that type of operation. Link to comment
PhanTomiZ Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) What was your old method? I use Blue Iris to set a variable in ISY. This method worked for me in BI 4 as it does for BI 5. PhanTomiZ Edited June 22, 2020 by PhanTomiZ Link to comment
markv58 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 On the camera settings Alert tab, check Post to a web address or MQTT server and configure with: user:password@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port/rest/programs/####/runThen or something similar. This obviously requires a program Then and/or Else and is profile specific. I mostly use the Polyglot to do things but certain things use the above method. Link to comment
