Blue Iris / Arduino - driveway alarm using camera alert in BI

[AdrianChick]

I am not skilled in this area, so please be kind. When my driveway camera is triggered in BI, I want to ring a doorbell or chime inside my house. Can someone tell me if the Kameror_GCE_V1 code is the correct code for this?

It would be much easier to use one of the sounds built into BI for that specific purpose. I have a driveway camera that triggers "not kidding" and a camera covering the approach to the front door that triggers the "doorbell" sound. That one can be confusing at times depending on what's on TV at the moment.

The problem with that is I don't want to broadcast every sound my computer makes, such as watching videos, etc., all over the house. That's why I just want BI to close a relay on my arduino for a second when my driveway camera is triggered.

Oh well, just a thought.

are you using home automation since you brought up Arduino ?

No, I bought the arduino just for this

Have a look around the forum. There are a bunch of threads on home automation that should be able to help you.
