Here's the thread at the Home Assistant community forum, in the 'Scripts' sub-forum:

It's a BASH shell script that runs on the Home Assistant system.
It uses a Wemos D1 Mini with a BH1750 ambient light sensor in ESPHome to know WHEN to switch.
A Home Assistant 'automation' triggers the BASH script to run.
Worst part of this setup is the cameras.dat text file, and it's not so difficult, just tedious.
If anyone knows how to extract camera info from Blue Iris programmatically, I'd be keen to learn.

Enjoy...
