Hello,

Thank you for this feature list and roadmap.
Will there be somerhing in the new SDK that will allow us to interact with camera devices (creation, stram association, ...) ?
You seem to be very focused on the new UI/Mobile application.
Taking into account HsTouch designer recent price increase, the fact that the software is not advertised anymore on the website (or very difficult to find), I’m under the impression that you are preparing the ditching of HSTouch support (which would be from my point of view a hudge mistake ...). Am I wrong ?

We do not plan to ditch HSTouch Designer. We understand that is a very unique important part of HomeSeer. I do not have an answer regarding your camera question but I will get one. We do have plans for additional actions and triggers.

What is it you are looking to do with access to the camera devices? Currently there is already ability to interact with the cameras added to a HS system.

I’m looking for classes/method to make it possible to create/manage camera devices from within a plugin.
If it already exists then it’s fine, but I have not been able to find any documentation in HS3 plugin SDK, nor HS3 scripting documentation. Maybe you can help me to find where it is described ?

Cameras currently don't use devices. There is a full JSON API that allows you to get camera info like names and snapshots. This is not the best API for a plugin though. We don't have a problem adding an API so you can get this information. With this API you could build devices for the cameras. I'm not sure what devices will do for you though?

Thank you for your answer.

Here is my use case : I’m working on a plugin for a connected dashcam. The idea is to automatically create a « homeseer camera » for the dashcam video stream.
I know it can be done manually, bit I’d like that the plugin to do it automatically for the user. With the current HS3 SDK, It seems I do not have a solution for that.

The entire camera config is stored in the HSPI_HSTouch.ini file. To add a camera you could simply add it to that file. In your case you would be adding a manual camera.

Thank you for your answer.

Thank you for your guidance !
Do not hesitate to move this part of the discussion somewhere else, since the discussion has derived from the initial intent of the post.
