Scene, to record a video when X10 sensors (not recognize as sensor) is tripped

In the settings tab of a cam you have this option: “Archive a photo whenever the following sensors are tripped or doors are opened”
As my X10 sensor (through rfxcom interface) is not listed as sensor, I cannot use this option to take a snapshot when it is triggered.

So I have to write a scene. Is there a function to record a video that I can use for this purpose? And by the way, to record the video in my NAS by FTP?

That could be great :wink:

Ok as usual I answer to myself: It’s very easy, just go to the advanced tab and change the category_num to 4, and the device is recognized as a detector. Even MCV couldn’t give me the answer ::slight_smile:

How can You make it record a video and not just archive a photo ?

Sorry, I was just talking about the sensor. No, I cannot archive a video. Because for this option, you will have to pay a premium subcription to Micasaverde! :frowning: So you will never be able to record any videos without this option! That’s why I try to find another solution to record videos. For instance, I use a WebcamXP server and send http.requests when a sensor is triggered. But I try to find a solution to record an rstp stream with VLC web server, but still looking for the best way to communicate with VLC through Vera. Any suggestions welcome!
