Really old post but still a good reference (esp for me since I'm still on Blue Iris 4):
Note: (this was written for BI 4, not sure if it'll work in 5)
BI Control is one way, Hubitat to Blue Iris. BUT... there is a way to receive alerts from Blue Iris just using Rule Machine!
Note: This was written for BI4. If using BI5 results may vary.
- In Rule Machine:
- 'Create New Rule', 'Define a Trigger', 'Name the Trigger'
- 'Select Trigger Events', 'Select capability' = 'Local End Point'
- Note: you will need the 'Local End Point URL' in Blue Iris
- 'Select Actions' to do whatever you like!
- In Blue Iris
- Select the Camera to use as a Trigger then 'Right Click' and select 'Camera Properties'.
- Select 'Alerts' and then check-off 'Post to a web address...' and then click 'Configure'
- Under the heading 'When Triggered', make sure that "Http://" is selected
- Then next to that box, put in the 'Local End Point' URL from Hubitat. Note: do not include the Http:// ... just start with the ip address. (ie. 192.168.1.123/apps/api/....)
- Click 'OK' and your done!
