If using the Server Device or a local/LAN connection, only enter the IP address, nothing extra.For the Server Device, the ST Hub and BI Computer need to be on the “same” network with either static IP’s or DHCP with address reservations so that the IP isn’t changing.
Only install the “Blue Iris Fusion” app, do not install the “Blue Iris Fusion - Trigger” app (it will install itself).
Either from code and copy the code from the links below, or add my Github repository to your Github Integration settings: In the SmartThings API, Create a new Smartapp.Separately, you can have SHM monitor the Porch Camera DTH's motion and alert you when it is active. Example: Front door contact opening triggers the Porch Camera Device's switch 'on' to ensure the event is recorded.You don't want to have your Camera Device's motion sensing trigger the Camera Device's switch to enable recording, because you'll create an endless loop of recording.The Camera Device can also be selected as a Motion Sensor, which becomes active/inactive based on the Blue Iris motion sensing settings you set up in Blue Iris.The Camera Device can be selected as a switch to turn 'on' from other smartapps, this triggers the Blue Iris Camera to start recording for the preset length you setup in Blue Iris.Big shout out to Ken, the program is great and his support is outstanding.Ĭlarification of the Camera DTH's Intent & Purpose: If you’re unfamiliar with Blue Iris (BI):īlue Iris is an outstanding Video Security/Capture NVR (Network Video Recorder) program that works with virtually every IP camera out there, creating a web server that manages them all and monitors them for motion, triggering recording. WAN/External connection control if you need it.This can now be done from other smartapps as well through the Blue Iris Camera DTH. BI Triggers – Triggers BI camera’s to record based on motion/contact sensors/etc.Profile Integration – Sync’s ST Modes with BI’s Profiles so they match.
Plus BI Fusion still does (and now does better): It has all the capabilities now and works better than non-SmartThings-branded video will ever work within SmartThings. I strongly encourage you to use the Blue Iris Mobile apps for video and image viewing. No image capture due to the way BI Fusion builds all the capabilities into one set of smartapps and DTHs. Limited live stream capability - only work when your phone is on the same LAN as your Blue Iris computer, and is limited by SmartThings' live stream capabilities.Works with webCoRE so you can create your own automations.Plus you can manually trigger recording from the device’s page in the app. Blue Iris Camera Devices – Act like switches so other automations can manually trigger recording, and like motion sensors so other automations (like SHM or Super Notifier) can react and alert you to motion sensed by your BI cameras.But still works with external connections as before. Local LAN connection status updates and error notifications – no more need to use port forwarding, etc.Blue Iris Server Device – You can manually control Blue Iris mode’s and traffic light from SmartThings, monitor online/offline status, get alerts.All the smartapp functions in one smartapp: SmartThings events trigger Blue Iris recording, SmartThings modes control Blue Iris profiles, PTZ to presets (and back) based on SmartThings events.ONCE! OAuth tokens only change when you want them too, and they can be found in multiple places to enable copy & paste!
