Is it possible to upload a snapshot from a camera or device via the tag card to a FTP server?
I was looking for something like this, currently you only can send there snapshot tag cards using email or a push message, it would be great if it where possible to send them also to an FTP server!
What camera? Blink for Home app has built in SMB/FTP export.
But it should be an easy thing for Arie to add such a flow action.
Arie can use the Blink code as blueprint.
Hey, good idea, i’ll add this, because, yes, this can easily be made: you can already upload and download files yourself, it’s easy to create the same for an image tag.
Any more good ideas i can add?
Great idea by @B3rt , to get rid of the mails/messages with cam snapshots, when it’s not neccesary to watch them immediately
Well, that brings me to the next (bold) idea,
will it be possible to fetch an image from an FTP server device and process it in a flow?
Like, similar to an available snapshot from a cam?
Maybe with a wildcard name selection:
“Fetch today's image(s) from [myFTPserver], (part of) the name = [17:]
”
This should select all images between 17 hrs and 18 hrs
(assuming all cam snapshots have timestamps in their filenames).
Just a thought, might be impossible with multiple images
For example the doorbell camera or any other camera.
Of course most camera’s can send snapshots to ftp servers themselves, but this cannot be triggered by Homey, sending a snapshot of a camera is triggered by the camera itself, i would like to use the FTP option so when a flow triggers an event that i then upload the snapshot at that moment to an FTP server for saving/backup, whatever.
For example:
doorbell is pressed → show picture of doorbell camera on TV (using pipup) → send push notification to user with snapshot (of the person who pressed doorbell) and NEW → save that snapshot also via FTP to NAS for backup etc.
In theory all kinds of tag cards could be saved this way…
Sure, but i’ll implement it a bitt different then how you describe it, and make it to be combined with json handler i think. Because that one handles arrays and collections.
But what you all want: yes. Ill look into it asap.
Tia and no hurries ofcourse Arie.
Do you mind creating a feature request /ticket at bitbucket for it?
Done!
I installed it, but can you explain to me how i connect to a FTP server?
So after installing I add a new device, it finds 2 FTP servers, 1 of my TV box (this one i do not want to use) and a custom FTP client.
I have a synology NAS, this is not found by detection…
So i add custom, then it is added, via settings i add login details and theni use repair to see if it is connected and it is.
But how do i upload (or download) a file into or from the FTP server?
Hey Bart,
Right click / long-press-on-phone on or within a folder to upload.
Right click / long-press-on-phone on a file to download, or double click.
Most things should work like on windows or file-browsing on a phone.
Are you sure you Synology has Bonjoir on?
Configuration → File Services → Advanced → Bonjour (mDNS).
This is how FTP devies are found, and when i have it turned on, the FTP Client finds my Synology NAS without any issues, it just requests a username and password when trying to connect.
Hi Arie,
your FTP client works great.
I just tried setting the client directly to a directory e.g. :
192.168.1.180/hdd/homey
Is it possible that this does not work (yet) ?
setting up the ftp homey was nice and easy. now I try to upload a file I don’t see a confirmation button anywhere? I’m working on Android, will be PC work again.
Afaik it starts uploading as soon as you selected a file. When it can’t upload it probably has (permission/connection/ssl issues), this screen stays this way (dunno if a time-out or error msg is configured)
so you can’t see what he is doing or uploading or not?
It seemed with installation that it works, but I can’t upload anything yet. I don’t see a single Homey folder either.
If you are unsure, you can always check the directory of your FTP server to see if the file has been uploaded.
For server connection only IP and port can be used.
The path is changed after beeing connected.bSo you need an device setting to set a default path to change to. Or the string can be splitted into ip and path so the device can do the steps independent.
