2.1
Version 2.1 🏃
New Features
Motion sensor
The first time your camera detects a motion it creates a new binary sensor. This sensor is updated in real time whenever there is a motion to on or off state.
After the next Home Assistant reboot, this sensor is restored with unavailable state until it detects motion again.
Motion sensor should recover from any reboots or disconnects of the camera automatically.
See the new troubleshooting section in readme if you have any questions regarding motion sensor before creating a new issue.
Camera image
Component now also provides an image of the current stream.
It generates it from the current stream on Home Assistant. While this is a common practice in other integrations too, we could do better and get the image directly from the camera instead. See this feature request if you would like to help.
New update coordinator
This release includes a rewrite of how updates are handled, resulting in 2 times reduction of number of requests outgoing camera while not affecting update speed.
Other minor updates
- support for services camera.disable_motion_detection and camera.enable_motion_detection
- support for services camera.turn_on camera.turn_off
