Synology Surveillance Station API integration into domoticz

[domoticzag]

Hello,

Maybe a nice idea:
It would be awsome if I could fully control my surveillance station on the Synology through its API. Currently im controlling the station through Json commands via dummy switches -> on-action off-action.
But since synology requires an session ID , i have to update this ID in my JSON string once every couple of weeks.

Implementing the API in the domoticz Hardware with username and password so that wou could control surveillance station with switches already connected to the API would be awsome!

This is not your proposed way of interfacing, but it functions nicely in my situation

--edit, change from hint into more extensive description as requested --

1. Add camera to synology surveillance station
2. Select Applications (in IP Camera screen below your camera)

3. Setup Motion detection here, example of my config (in detection area perform select all or you can set a specific area of the image to monitor)

4. Motion detection setup, let's trigger Domoticz. Make sure you've made a virtual motion detection switch with an off delay of something like 10 seconds and note it's ID
5. Select 'Action Rule' in Surveillance station and configure this with your switch's url

Okay, so I got this working, but now I get a notification if movement is detected. I would like to see an image of that movement, or in a best world scenario: A movie pushed to my phone.

Is any of this possible with the above mentioned method?

There was some approach for this in the telegram topic. I did not have time to implement this yet.
