ZoneMinder Switch


The zoneminder switch platform allows you to toggle the current function of all cameras attached to your ZoneMinder instance.

You must have the ZoneMinder component configured to use this and if ZoneMinder authentication is enabled the account specified in the component configuration must have “Edit” permission for “System”.

To enable this switch, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: zoneminder
    command_on: Modect
    command_off: Monitor

Configuration variables:

  • command_on (Required): The function you want the camera to run when turned on.
  • command_off (Required): The function you want the camera to run when turned off.

The default functions installed by ZoneMinder are: None, Monitor, Modect, Record, Mocord, Nodect.
