[SOLVED] Can FPS value be monitored and accessed? HomeSeer & BlueIris via JSON

[jaydeel]

I'm not a HS user. A thought... does HS have a plugin to execute Powershell scripts?
I ask because I've been working on a suite of Powershell scripts that can be used to GET/SET Blue Iris JSON Interface settings.
The GET scripts output a simple string if a single setting is requested, or a JSON string if multiple cameras or settings are requested.
Would this be useful?

That sounds very nice indeed! I can do quite a lot in HS with vb.net so I suppose interacting with your suite shouldn't be too complex

I tend to use plugins - like I am doing now for mcsMQTT since normally many housekeeping functions are handled better than I could in a simple script. My level of programming is okay for my requirements, but not good enough for a plugin.

How did you envisage your suite being used? With a GUI/front end of some kind? Or command line?

I suppose it wasn't an easy endeavor given what I am seeing so far

Whenever you have something for testing, I'd be glad to help

Was a long journey, but it is possible to now to access blueiris information and create associated devices in Homeseer using the JSON interface and Homeseer + mcsMQTT plugin.

These devices can be used for a variety of applications now, and their historical information can be saved to InfluxDB and used in Grafana thanks to the same plugin.

Thanks for all your input here, much appreciated. In particular the log suggestion from Jaydeel which I will also be implementing. Thanks also to Michael MCSharry over at the HS forum.

Posting the link again here in case anyone using HS & BI needs the info.

Blueiris JSON interface - Is this possible with MQTT/JSON? - HomeSeer Message Board

Hi Michael, spent a while reading the manual, looking at this and other forums, etc. I tried playing around with MQTT/Cloud but couldn't figure it out... Wonder if this is doable with MQTT Cloud/JSON and if so, how would I go about it. I would like to query Blueiris for the framerate being...
