Recall reading some threads about Home Automation software compatible with Blue Iris but not having a lot of luck finding them. Does anyone recall the name of the software?

Node-RED or OpenHAB? I don't remember exactly.

I use Homeseer HS4, which can read MQTT from BI5, and ONVIF commands from cameras. I think Home Assistant should do the same. Node Red is an inbetween software for brainiacs :lol:

Home Assistant can view an OnVif Stream, receive Onvif alarms, and send Onvif commands (like PTZ)
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/onvif/
For me this is good enough - I have tested integrating a camera view into a dashboard, but not gone much further.

...there is an 'Integration' to blue Iris available:
https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-integ ... assistant/
But the prerequisites (it needs 'HACS' https://hacs.xyz/ a community store allowing untested, unverified apps) and the lack of any significant additional 'smarts' (I think it shows the camera triggered state, but not much else) meant I have not bothered testing it.

Home Assistant is what I was searching for. Thanks
