wb666greene I had a look at your repo on Github - but I did not yet find the time to get it to work with my cameras. But it is very interesting. It is on my list!
The INSTAR MQTT service is now regularly available via the System/Update menu and some improvements/bugfixes have been added:
- Further MQTT Topics added (e.g. for step-by-step control of the camera's P&T)
- User logins are now excluded from MQTT state topics (can only be set via command topic)
- All special characters, which are allowed for the camera login, can now also be used for MQTT.
- The ports used for the MQTT service were changed to the default 1883/8883
- In the beta version, no distinction was made between "local" and "all" in topics. The first now only addresses the camera on which the broker is running and the latter addresses all cameras in the MQTT network
- The use of own SSL certificates for the MQTT service was simplified. We already have a Guide for self-signed Certs online, for CA Certs (Let's Encrypt) will follow shortly.
There is now also a guide for using SSL to connect the INSTAR MQTT service with Node-RED.
