How can I get a security camera motion event into Webcore? I need for Webcore to somehow get notice that a motion event occurred so I can do something with it.
How get Security Camera Motion Event trigger into Webcore
Based on the limited details in your post, I’m making a few assumptions:
- You are using Hubitat rather than SmartThings, as the latter no longer supports Webcore integration.
- Webcore is already installed and configured on your Hubitat hub.
- The security camera in question is integrated into Hubitat, either via official drivers or a community-developed driver.
If these assumptions align with your setup, here’s how you can proceed:
- Navigate to Hubitat Apps and select Webcore .
- Go to Settings > Available Devices > Select Devices and locate your security camera.
- After selecting the camera, click Update just below the device list.
- Scroll down and click Next , then select Done on the Device Updated screen to finalize your changes.
Once this is complete, open Webcore and start building a piston. Depending on your desired actions, you can select the camera and choose the appropriate attribute (e.g., motion). This will allow you to create logic that triggers based on motion events from your camera.
As a suggestion, you might also consider posting your question on the Hubitat forums (https://community.hubitat.com/c/comappsanddrivers/webcore/104) for additional input, as many users have transitioned to Hubitat after the SmartThings split. You may find more community support there.
I have not done this. The cameras are currently communicating to a NAS via either WiFi or hardwire. How can I find these drivers?

I suggest you look here List of Compatible Devices or here Custom Apps and Drivers.
