Description

This is a simple app that is designed to send a HTTP request to a URL wehen the usage state of the computer's webcam changes.

The primary use case for this is to integrate it with homebridge-http-webhooks and provide an occupancy or motion sensor to trigger scenes.

Simple and Effective

Downloaded this app to help automate meeting notifications in the Work-From-Home universe. It's simple and super neat. Dev is super responsive to feature ideas. One additional feature request – I'd like the ability to set a specific timeout for when it should trigger the "off" state. For example, Microsoft Teams shows a video preview before a meeting starts. Since the camera turns off before joining the meeting, you get back-to-back triggers. Setting a timeout would help prevent this.

Developer Response ,

Thanks, I will consider this for a future version.

Works with Continuity Camera

Does exactly what it promises, even with Continuity Camera. I use it to turn on a warning "On-Air" sign whenever a camera is active, via a smart plug, HomeKit, HomeBridge and the homebridge-http-webhooks plugin.

Great App

Using with an M1 Mac.
Works great. Using it to trigger an IFTTT webhook for some Philips Hue lights that I'm using as an "on air" indicator in my home office. Highly recommend.
