BlueIris MQTT with Node-Carmine

• Steuerung von BlueIris durch MQTT
  • Admin Befehle

Configuring the BlueIris MQTT Service

To activate the MQTT Service enter the BlueIris Software Settings:

Switch to the Digital IO and IoT tab and click to Configure the MQTT service:

In this example I am using an INSTAR MQTT Camera as my MQTT broker. Type in your broker IP address (due east.g. IP address of your camera), the broker login and port:

MQTT Alarm Service

At present right-click your cameras alive video and select Photographic camera Settings from the pop-up menu. In the settings menu switch to the Alerts tab and click on ON alert... in the Actions section:

Here we tin define the action that we want to be triggered if the camera enters the warning state. Choose Spider web asking or MQTT:

Choose an MQTT Topic - you can proper noun it freely according to your MQTT setup. As payload choose 1 or ON to signify that the alarm state of this camera was activated:

Now nosotros can define another topic that is to updated in one case our camera falls back to idle. Click on On reset... to keep:

Here I choose the same topic that I had before. Just this time the payload will exist 0 or OFF:

Click on the Lightning symbol to test-run your MQTT topic. You tin can use an MQTT debug tool to run across whether the topic is successfully updated. In my case I have an instance of ioBroker running to see the result of the exam:

Now we are receiving an MQTT update, every fourth dimension BlueIris triggers an alert - nosotros tin go on working with that in our smarthome solution, e.g. ioBroker, Node-Cherry, OpenHAB or Home Assistant.

Controlling BlueIris through MQTT

We can also use MQTT to trigger events inside the BlueIris software. For example you can utilize a tool like MQTT.fx to ship the following payload to the MQTT topic BlueIris/admin:

• camera=cameraname&trigger (replace cameraname with the photographic camera shortname you defined for your camera when you added it to BlueIris)

This will trigger an alert for the selected photographic camera in BlueIris and with it all activated alarm actions - e.g. warning recording, etc.
