The following outlines examples of the switch, services, and scripts required to move between 2 preset destinations while controlling motion detection, but many other options of movement are provided in the Foscam CGI User Guide linked above. - -The switch.foscam_motion will control whether the motion detection is on or off. This switch supports statecmd, which checks the current state of motion detection. - -The service shell_command.foscam_turn_off sets the camera to point down and away to indicate it is not recording. -The service shell_command.foscam_turn_on sets the camera to point where I'd like to record. -Both of these services require preset points to be added to your camera. See source above for additional information. - -The script.foscam_off and script.foscam_on can be used to set the motion detection appropriately, and then move the camera. These scripts can be called as part of an automation with device_tracker triggers to set home and not_home modes for your Foscam and disable motion detection recording while home. - -```yaml -# Replace admin and password with an "Admin" priviledged Foscam user -# Replace ipaddress with the local IP address of your Foscam -switch: - platform: command_line - switches: - #Switch for Foscam Motion Detection - foscam_motion: - oncmd: 'curl -k "https://ipaddress:443/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=setMotionDetectConfig&isEnable=1&usr=admin&pwd=password"' - offcmd: 'curl -k "https://ipaddress:443/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=setMotionDetectConfig&isEnable=0&usr=admin&pwd=password"' - statecmd: 'curl -k --silent "https://ipaddress:443/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr=admin&pwd=password" | grep -oP "(?<=isEnable>).*?(?=)"' - value_template: '{{ value == "1" }}' - -shell_command: - #Created a preset point in Foscam Web Interface named Off which essentially points the camera down and away - foscam_turn_off: 'curl -k "https://ipaddress:443/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzGotoPresetPoint&name=Off&usr=admin&pwd=password"' - #Created a preset point in Foscam Web Interface named Main which points in the direction I would like to record - foscam_turn_on: 'curl -k "https://ipaddress:443/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzGotoPresetPoint&name=Main&usr=admin&pwd=password"' -script: - foscam_off: - sequence: - - execute_service: switch.turn_off - service_data: - entity_id: switch.foscam_motion - - service: shell_command.foscam_turn_off - foscam_on: - sequence: - - execute_service: switch.turn_off - service_data: - entity_id: switch.foscam_motion - - service: shell_command.foscam_turn_on - - execute_service: switch.turn_on - service_data: - entity_id: switch.foscam_motion -``` + Foscam Webcams which support CGI Commands can be controlled by Home Assistant ([Source](http://www.ipcamcontrol.net/files/Foscam%20IPCamera%20CGI%20User%20Guide-V1.0.4.pdf)).
