![]() ![]() Ah well, no worries.I have the below full installer versions as on more then one occasion You’ve saved me bothering to do some research into getting Blue Iris to cast to Alexa like I have with Google. Yes, it’s a damn shame you cannot just send something to Alexa without asking for it first, thanks for that info. I have enough media subscriptions without adding yet another! Because I use Prime and therefore Amazon Music, it made sense to use Echo to be able to ask for whatever music I want via Amazon Music, something you cannot do on Google (except to cast from a phone) unless I paid for Google Music, Spotify or Deezer. … the last time I looked into it, there was no Alexa API that would allow us to force the camera to display without voice invocation.ĪThis is yet another reason why I think Google is the better (best?) system but it’s not without its own shortcommings hence why I decided to go for Echo as well and have the bet of both worlds, especially since I use Amazon quite a bit and am a Prime member. So when (for example) my Door Camera on Blue Iris sees movement it almost immediately automatically appears on my Google Nest Max said in Blue Iris: Blue Iris has the ability to set Alerts so that once it detects movement on a camera, it can (amongst other options) send a POST request similar to the one used for IFTTT which instructs Home Assistant to Cast Camera to Screen. Quite simple really once you have all this set up and cameras appear almost instantly on the Hub screen. ![]() It’s possible to include scripts within HA itself to be able to ask Google for each camera but I have instead used IFTTT to call for each camera using a Web Request. Well, it’s a kinda complex setup since I use Home Assistant to control all my smart devices (well, except Alexa at this moment in time) so I use THIS script as part of the Home Assistant setup to cast my cameras to the screen of my Google Hub. Which solution are you using for Google Nest hubs? However, I’m pretty sure the developer wouldn’t consider including this option, said in Blue Iris: The ideal solution would be for Blue Iris to produce a RTSP accessible stream …Īgreed. ![]() Would be really nice if I could do the same on the Echo Shows.Īnywayz, thanks again and night night for tonight. It does work with Blue Iris and the motion detect though which is great. I have a similar system working on my Google Nest Hubs which is instant but sadly doesn’t work with Alexa. ![]() Only just got my Echo Shows in the Black Friday sales and loving them and of course loving Monocle too, even if it is a tad slow (delayed). Thanks once again for all the help you’ve given me these last two nights. It would be good because then I could figure a way so that when motion is detected, the camera stream would automatically start on the Echo Show. Is there a workaround at all? Or could it be possible to have Monocle accept http requests? So my question is - is there any way to use Monocle using the Gateway if required to access the Blue Iris streams? I’m guessing not because a) Blue Iris doesn’t work with rtsp and b) Monocle doesn’t work with http. Those who know how Blue Iris works, we can access each camera by using a URL in the format http:\\.xxx:port#\mjpg\cameraName\video.mjpg and the URL is of course always the same with only the cameraName changed to access the feed of each camera set up on Blue Iris. This is more a curiosity really and if not possible now, would it be possible to implement? ![]()
