Hass.io (Home Assistant) ZoneMinder Switch Function Issue
Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2018 5:56 pm
Hi there ZM-ers.
I’m having an issue with the Hass.io Zoneminder component. I set up the component and switch.
I can see the camera in my front end and activating the switches send the correct functions to the correct cameras in ZM.
The problem I’m having is with Buffers.
No matter how large or small I make the “Image Buffer Size”, “Pre Event Image Count” or “Post Event Image Count”, ZM only records from about 1-2 seconds after the switch is activated and stops immediately when the switch is turned to off.
Setting it to Modect properly records both Pre and Post buffers.
I tried from Monitor to Record and from Nodect to Record but neither work.
Is there a setting I’m missing?
I have a camera monitoring my hallway and front door. The hallway gets a lot of traffic. I have a sensor on the door. I'm looking to have the camera record from a few seconds before the front door is opened.
I tried using external triggers with zmtrigger.pl, but had trouble bashing into the docker to send the commands. Also, it would be difficult to set up the commands with Home Assistant, especially since there is already a switch component.
Details:
ZoneMinder 1.30.4 running in UnRAID Docker Container by dlandon Link to Docker Hub
Hass.io 0.62.1 with Supervisor 0.86 Home Assistant
Thanks.
