im in the process of doing of rigging door sensors to trigger BI with a raspberry pi. seems fairly straight forward (provided your ok with python and linux), but still waiting on a few resistors to show up in the mail before i can finish the project. BI allows for IO from an arduino connected via serial/usb as well, i have never tried it, but its an option.Is it possible to get a module to allow Input alarms , IE from PIR sensors? For iris?

Did you follow the YouTube video instructions regarding configuring Blue Iris 'cam properties', 'alerts', 'run a program or execute a script', 'configure', 'file', etc., etc.?So I am able to get the relay to work through it's own app (very cool), and also get it the run a "test" and I hear the relay click (r1 on 4). But I can not figure out how to run it on a camera to make it go off. I have to be missing something small here.
Yes, it can be difficult so please don't take offense if I take little for granted. That being said, I assume you have set up 'trigger', 'motion detection', etc. Under alerts I would select, in addition to 'run a program or execute a script', the option 'sound an alarm using PC or camera speaker'. That way you'd know when an alert would be 'true' and you could focus your diagnosis on the execution of the script to activate the relay (perhaps a missing or improper command line argument?).Yes I have have BI for over six months and know it quite well. I can "test" it in alert properties and it works but in live mode i have not seen it do anything. I understand it's hard to diagnose a issue from a message, thanks
