Network triggering examples?

Post by JimS »

I am wanting to do some triggering from other devices on my network. Zoneminder is on a PC and I want to send triggers from raspberry pi or esp32 or the like. When I looked a the wiki it said to enable triggers:

Enable it first, by going into options, config, and checking Enable Triggers.

Thing is I didn't find that option. Guessing it has moved on the newer version? I did find Opt_Triggers under system. Is that the same thing?

The wiki is a bit light on examples IMHO. Where would I find more examples? I did a bit of googling - maybe I am not using the correct terms...

I found a couple other pages on this. This one covers camera triggers but also notes the item I found is the proper one.

And here's a bit more detail on how it works.

I've recently added some new trigger stuff, all through the UI, so you don't have to use the trigger daemon. This is in 1.37.64

If you use a url like /zm/index.php?request=trigger&action=on&score=10&cause=cat&showtext=hello

Basically the query string maps to the same fields as you would send to zmtrigger.
