Plugins & Plugin Development Reactor
#1

Hello,

Trying to use reactor to manage NVR modes in Blue Iris. I have 5 modes set up in Blue Iris to match the 4 modes in Vera plus one “privacy” mode that disables the all the cameras. Not sure why the wife wanted that, but likely to sneak in presents for me. I digress.
Privacy mode is set from a virtual switch and sends a URL to Blue Iris to change the mode. When I turn off the privacy mode, I want it to revert to what ever mode is appropriate to the current Vera Modes settings. So Privacy and the vera modes are mutually exclusive and cannot figure out how to make that work. Each vera mode has a slightly different URL that gets sent to Blue Iris.
Want to figure it out myself but a few hints would be appreciated.

I would just take the simplest approach to this. I’m a big fan of the notion that the simplest solution is usually the best solution.

Five groups:
Group 1 - “Privacy” (AND operator)

  • Device state, privacy virtual switch is ON (Status is TRUE)

Group 2 - “Home” (AND operator)

  • Device state, privacy virtual switch is OFF (Status is FALSE)
  • House Mode = Home

Groups 3-5 are the same as #2, just use the rest of the house modes: Away, Night, Vacation

Activties for each group (is true) should set your BlueIris mode.

Thanks, I was almost there, but had the state of privacy mode wrong.
