enable/disable camera with JSON command

[tomgru]

I use JSON to send a command to my home automation setting to trigger an event.

Is there anyway I can use a JSON command from my home automation setup to trigger an event back to BI that disables/enables a camera, without using profiles?

thanks.

EDIT... I found this in the help.
enable:true or false enable or disable the camera

but not entirely sure what the command line would look like. Will keep searching, but any advice or pointers greatly appreciated.

EDIT2: it looks like I can do this with an HTTP command, but this doesn't seem to be working either

Any help greatly appreciated here.

figured it out.
&hs.urlaction("http://192.168.1.155:81/admin?Camera=x&enable=0&user=x&pw=x", "GET", "", "")

I'm trying to imagine what it is you are wanting to do and why. The home automation system will turn on cameras based on motion sensors?

Looks like tomguru is using HomeSeer as his home automation system. Enabling and disabling cameras is something we do based on who is home (WAF).

@tomguru, there is a Blue Iris PI for HS3 - we use it and it works well.

Yep... you got it. I already have my other event set up similarly, so didn't want to but the PI for just this. (besides, Spud has enough of my money for other PIs )

I would like to Hide/Unhide a camera with a JSON command. Any ideas?
