Need some assistance figuring out some Digital IO stuff in Blue Iris (cross post)

[djborden]

I posted this question early in a different area and it only has had 1 view so posting here as well. I need assistance linking the little switches highlighted below in red with a Digital IO MQTT command.

I have the MQTT command setup in Blue Iris that actuates a relay using the test function in Blue Iris to turn the relay on and off. What I have not been able to figure out is how to link one of the switches(in the red box on the camera/PTZ screen with the MQTT Digital IO command I already have setup. When you mouse over them, it shows DIO 1 and DIO 2, so assume this is possible.

My goal is to flip the switch on the camera screen to actuate a relay using a MQTT command.

If anyone can assist with this, I would really appreciate it.

This is what I would like to set up. when someone approaches the gate it pops that camera up and gives you a button to push for a momentary switch to open the gate

As an alternative, you can assign functions like these to camera preset 'On call...' Action sets.

The presets can be accessed by the app on any device.

Or you can use an HTTP Interface command to execute the preset.
/admin?camera=x&preset=n Goto PTZ preset n on camera x (short name)

This functionality does not require a PTZ camera to work.
