ISY994i and Blue Iris 5

[kevincol]

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.

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.

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.
