HS/FS Trigger action in HS when motion on webcam

[Dries]

Hi all,

Sorry, that this post is in English. However, feel free to reply in German.

I'm trying to integrate my webcam (a D-Link DCS-5222L) with my Gira HS. I would like to configure a specific light to swith on when motion is detected.

The (wifi enabled) webcam has no particular integration options towards home automation. However, when motion is detected, it is possible to e-mail a snapshot or to upload it to an FTP server:



I tried the following: I define the Gira HS as the FTP server (port 21), knowing it isn't an FTP server. See screenshot above. This way, at least "some" data is send to the Gira HS.

Then I configured the following in Expert:



The IP adres I configured here, is the IP adress of the webcam.

In the tab "Receive" I choose "any type of data". In the tab commands I configured the light switching.

I assumed that, when the webcam is trying to set up an ftp-connection with the Gira HS, the Gira HS would already be triggered (given the "any type of data". But this doesn't seem to be the case.

What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? Are there other ways to integrate my IP camera?

Thanks!

Does anyone have an idea?

Feel free to respond in German. I'm really stuck...

knowing it isn't an FTP server.

That is the reason why it will not work at all. I see no solution with this type of camera.

you could try making a "Logikbaustein" which implements a FTP Server or at least the required parts of it. http://www.mythi.cx/python/pyFTPdrop.py and put that in some threading. Not easy but also not really to hard.

Hmm... that actually sees quite complex.

Is it possible to send a trigger-e-mail to the HS?

[MatthiasS]

No, not possible.

The help text that goes along with the "IP/EIB telegrams (reception)" clearly states:

Application
- Exchange of values between two HS/FS.
- Reception of data and values of other IP devices (e.g. IP cameras).

So I guess it is at least possible to connect some IP-cameras to the Gira HS.

Did anyone successfully connect any IP-camera to the Gira HS? Which IP camera? What settings did you set up in the camera and in the Gira HS?
