YUP ui7 for ya. No reason to run it.
Ha. I’ve read not-so-great comments about UI7. But, I figure since I’m new to this and my Vera Lite came with it…I am going to embrace it and learn it. Probably easier for me since I’ve never used an earlier version.
It’s not any easier, it’s actually harder right now as alot of things don’t work and plugins are compatible.
Guys it would really make me happy to have only Blue Iris support take place in this forum. We all hate topics with pages and pages of things unrelated to the topic. I mean this in a very friendly manner 
Just curious, is there any assessment of the memory and CPU impact of adding a camera in the Plug In?
I think your question should be more of “how much” rather then if “any”. Every plugin (and child) you add causes a drain to certain extent.

That’s what I meant and I hoped that “any” would result in “how much”
[quote=“undertoe, post:184, topic:181819”]Great news, I was working with Ken the developer of BI and we have came up with a url command to start and stop recording. This will allow the function to be available with the BI vera plugin. This feature will not be released until the new version of BI is out. I will also hold off on releasing anything until i get this feature working.
The new version will include the following
[ul][li]BI profile changing with special functions that handle your cameras config settings[/li]
[li]Record On and Off Functions[/li]
[li]Camera Button functionality for integration to BI recording[/li][/ul][/quote]
Any news
Yep working on the ittergration now
Anyone have the New Samsung Note 4 using BI?
^^^ got it working.
How about working on getting BI geofence integrated into VERA? Similar to the motion detection. Getting maybe a muliti switch or maybe creating another device like the motions called “inside or outside” and using blueiris geofence to switch that in vera.
Not that it has much to do with this Plug In other than a convenient place to share the information, but I’ve been fiddling with my BI-connected camera settings with an eye to BI CPU utilization. I have modified the camera settings to 5 fps, 512 Kbps rate, 640x480 and currently with two cameras running I have gotten my normal CPU utilization down from 25% to 7% with no noticable loss of image usability. My near term plan is to install a half dozen more inside and outside cameras with motion triggered recording to DropBox. I eagerly await the integration of this Plug in with BI.
Well I setup some HTTP commands for entering and exiting the BI Geofence. Tied to a virtual switch (MULTISWITCH) in VERA.
Probley over kill but now have Ping sensor, Vera Proximity and BI all tied together with PLEG to make sure it triggers fast and without false alarms.

Care to elaborate
Which part? In the blueiris options under devices you have enter and exit buttons. In there you have what to do when that device enters or exit. Towards the bottom it lets you run a http command. I run the following.
YOURVERAIP:PORT/data_request id=lu_action&DeviceNum=100&serviceId=urn:dcineco-com:serviceId:MSwitch1&action=SetStatus7&newStatus7=1
This works for a multiswitch with a device # of 100 and switches button #7 to on. Change the device number to fit your needs and chnage both 7’s to your button and the last #1 is for turning it on change to “0” for off or away.
You can test from your browser then set them up for enter and exit in blueiris server.
Pleg i just have it watching for my 3 inputs and switching a master when 2 of the three enter or exit. I also have it manually switching the 3rd one over if it never switches after 2 of them been on for awhile. Also have a few things setup for it to not switch away if it just said i was home. Keep it from bouncing back and forth if im on the line.
Thanks, interesting solution. I’m often amazed at the ingenuity of the users on here
Been using the Http commands for changing profiles. But every so often I run into a problem where the double command (since your tring to hold that profile) doesn’t time right and the profile switches back to default.
Anyone got any solutions before I spin my wheels?

Not sure if I have a solution but I have been changing my profiles with PLEG for the last month or 2 and haven’t had any issues that I know of. I have 4 profiles: day, night, day away, night away and they have all been changing correctly. Here is the code I’m using in PLEG:
luup.inet.wget("http://IPADDRESS:PORT/admin?profile=1&user=XXXXXX&pw=XXXXXX")[quote=“integlikewhoa, post:217, topic:181819”]Been using the Http commands for changing profiles.

I don’t do the double command to hold the profile I just set the temporary profile time under the schedule tab to 3000 minutes
Hmmm and this works without a problem? I have mine set to 99999 and it hasn’t worked that way. I do remember playing with that some time ago and I forgot why it didn’t work out for me at that time. But I guess it’s time to revisit that.
I did fix my problem right now but it’s not pretty. Basically I have default 24-7 to profile 7. And in profile 7 I have one camera that faces the street and trees. I set the camera in profile 7 to as sensitive as possible and shortest trigger time so If BI ever misses my 1-4 profiles it defaults to 7 then trips the camera and the camera in profile 7 is set to trigger an HTTP command to flip one of my virtual switches. The PLEG I had before to set my home, away, day and night in BI now looks for this virtual switch to be off. If profile 7 ever trips PLEG re evaluates the current profile and sends the HTTP commands again to BI to correct the wrong profile problem.
This works but ass you can see involves alot more then it needs to. So thanks for your info. I’ll relook into the temp profile time. Maybe after to high of a number it results back to zero.
