Camera Feed on doorbell, my solution

[sieth]

Hello,

to describe my problem and then the solution:

Problem: when someone rang the doorbell, I wanted to popup the image from my foscam on a tablet mounted on the wall.
The concept worked with the "blocks[IDX]['openpopupOn'] = {}" block.
But my problem was: the image was to big for the popup. The camera I use is a 1080p camera.

Solution: I stepped back from the popup thing and placed a big block on a second screen.
Then when the doorbell rings a dummy switch is triggered and "blocks[IDX]['gotoslideOn'] = 2;" is activated.

Then "config['slide_effect']".
Screen 2 fades in. The image in the block is refreshed every second. That's enough for me.

Then we swipe back to screen 1 after 30 seconds with:
config['auto_swipe_back_to'] = 1;
config['auto_swipe_back_after'] = '30';

This did the trick.

I hope this can be useful for others, that's why I wanted to share this

Using similar setup over here.
Small image on home screen, when motion detected (foscam camera attached to synology nas for recording and motion detection), dashticz moves to 3th screen showing full screen camera feed.
