What exactly do you want to control via API?

What exactly do you want to control via API?

Thanks for the feedback.

I want to have it detect me and send information via the API to trigger contexts that are specific to me. Or send a welcome home notification to the ceiling speaker.

Run this script as resident. Change host variable to your camera IP and auth variable to access credentials in username:password format. Make sure that Basic auth mode (not digest) is set on your camera. Then post what you get in LM Logs when running this script.

Code:

local json = require('json') local socket = require('socket') local mime = require('mime') local host = '192.168.1.1' local auth = 'user:password' local sock = socket.tcp() sock:settimeout(15) local res, err = sock:connect(host, 80) if not res then   sock:close()   log('connect failed', err)   os.sleep(5)   return end local function init()   local crlf = '\r\n'   sock:send(     'GET /FR/events/live/json?heartbeat=10 HTTP/1.1' .. crlf ..     'Host: ' .. host .. crlf ..     'Authorization: Basic ' .. mime.b64(auth) .. crlf .. crlf   ) end local function parse(resp)   resp = json.pdecode(resp)   log(resp) end init() local pat, len = nil, nil while true do   res, err = sock:receive(pat)   log('rx', pat, res, err)   if err then     sock:close()     log('receive error', err)     break   end   if type(pat) == 'number' then     pcall(parse, res)     pat, len = nil, nil   elseif #res == 0 then     pat = len   elseif not len then     len = res:match('Content%-Length: (%d+)')     len = tonumber(len)   end end

Thanks for the reply.
I am sending the log again as attached file.
Please help me.

You need to trigger a face detection event and check if it's logged. You can disable the log call on line 40 to filter out debug info:

Code:

-- log('rx', pat, res, err)

I send the information back, admin please check it for me
I see LM has connected and recognized
Please give me the command to control
Thank you very much

Replace parse function in the script with the following code. The script will send ON to 1/1/1 each time the camera detects you.

Code:

local function parse(resp)   resp = json.pdecode(resp)     if resp.type == 'person' then     if resp.name == 'luan thanh' then       gpr.write('1/1/1', true)     end   end end

I checked, tested everything works perfectly.
Thank you very much
