Here is a screenshot of the browser console. This is on a panel with no cameras configured. There are no SS cameras used via the binding on any of my panels at the moment but as the items are being updating they show up regardless:
@waspie It seems, every itemâs change event is being logged in the console, even those not present and even if no panel is configured at all. I canât imagine why itâs done and I canât disable it as well 
It seems, using snapshots as IMAGE is a bad idea after allâŠ
Iâll try to implement this static things tomorrow.

Hi together,
as promised, Iâve released a new version featuring static snapshot and live feed URIs, changeable snapshot quality and an another approach to timeout handling. Iâve also updated readme to provide better examples for the text file configuration.
Please check the v.0.26 release notes for more details:
Everything is tested on openHAB 2.2.0 stable with my setup. Your feedback is as always very appreciated!
Best regards
Pav
Hi Pavion
I installed this version (a25) and still the enable/disable doesnât seems to work.
Camera disabled on SS, switch to enable in OH and remains disabled on SS
Anything special to be done ? Or is it just a feedback switch (that gives the status, but doesnât provide any action on SS) ?
Edit: for the rest, still seems to work like before. Just canât find a way to use the rstp feed in basicui
Enable state is being refreshed with camera events refresh rate. If your refresh rate is set to null, Enable switch wonât show you the status but should still turn the camera on/off. Iâve actually tested it and it worked on my setup⊠Could you please post again your log excerpt?
Btw there seems to be a small bug with static items not being populated on openHAB restart, Iâm looking into it.
As for video: beside rtsp there is also a mjpeg over http URI available, which could be embedded in sitemaps but is very slow (0,5 fps). Itâs practically the same as grabbing snapshots but I will also include this URI with the next version.
You can get all your URIs with following query, substituting _sid with your current one and idList with your camera ID:
http://192.168.0.1:5000/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.SurveillanceStation.Camera&method=GetLiveViewPath&version=9&idList=1&_sid=xxx
There are actually five different on my system, but I can use only two. Note: \" have to be removed. If you find another better stream, I can also implement it.
Hello. How can i enabled motion detection channel?
If youâre using PaperUI youâll find this channel as usual in your Thing Configuration. If youâre using text file config, please refer to the last releaseâs notes.
If event refresh is enabled (as by default), motion detection channel will be triggered as soon as Surveillance Station detects motion.
Hi Pavion
Here is the log, same for both cameras
Bridge synologysurveillancestation:station:ds414j âSurveillance
Stationâ @ âServerRoomâ
[refresh-rate-events=10,host=âxxxâ,protocol=âhttpâ,port=â5000â,password=âxxxâ,username=âxxxâ]
{
Thing camera 2 âSalonâ @ âHomeâ [
refresh-rate-events=60,refresh-rate-snapshot=0 ]
Thing camera 3 âJardinâ @ âHomeâ [
refresh-rate-events=60,refresh-rate-snapshot=0 ]
}
I think it might be related to my user rights, as per what I found about
error 117 (hich was not present before this version a25)
[117] = { âNeed manager rights for operationâ, true },
So I gave the admin right and now it works.
Maybe for a later release, try to put an error handling there ?
Thanks for your efforts, much appreciated, this is becoming a really
good binding

@karld
Thank you for your feedback, a meaningful error message will be provided!
I assume your issue with âEnabledâ is thus resolved?
yes it is, thank you
Hi Pavion
After a restart of openHAB, I was getting error 119 from the binding
Looking at some forums, it appears this can happen when the âsidâ starts
with a digit :
Same random error 119 here, when i try to read folders.
After hours, i noticed the error occured when sid starts with a number.
I just surrounded sid with " " and everything works fine for me now.
A restart of bundle did fix the problem, just maybe worth to add those
"" just in case
Thank you very much, I havenât encountered this issue yet.
Iâve created a project issue and will look into it.
thanks, i will try this later today!
once again, having issues with the things file config
an excerpt from my things file:
Bridge synologysurveillancestation:station:diskstation "SynoNAS" @ "basement" [ protocol="http", host="192.168.1.8", port="5000", username="****", password="****" ] {
Thing synologysurveillancestation:camera:diskstation:1 "fireplaceCam" @ "fireplace room" [ refresh-rate-events=3, refresh-rate-snapshot=10, snapshot-stream-id=1 ]
Thing synologysurveillancestation:camera:diskstation:2 "nurseryCam" @ "nursery" [ refresh-rate-events=3, refresh-rate-snapshot=10, snapshot-stream-id=1 ]
Thing synologysurveillancestation:camera:diskstation:3 "livingRoomCam" @ "living room" [ refresh-rate-events=3, refresh-rate-snapshot=10, snapshot-stream-id=1 ]
Thing synologysurveillancestation:camera:diskstation:4 "drivewayCam" @ "outside" [ refresh-rate-events=3, refresh-rate-snapshot=10, snapshot-stream-id=1 ]
resulting errors in openhab.log:
2018-03-07 13:11:37.459 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Validation issues found in configuration model 'synology.things', using it anyway:
Provide a thing type ID and a thing ID in this format:
<thingTypeId> <thingId>
Provide a thing type ID and a thing ID in this format:
<thingTypeId> <thingId>
Provide a thing type ID and a thing ID in this format:
<thingTypeId> <thingId>
iâve tried incrementing the number in âsnapshot-stream-id=â or just leaving them all as one. iâm not sure what this id is supposed to be and either way the errors exist.
Actually Iâm getting this warning too and couldnât find a solution either. As itâs just a warning, your Things should work, please check if they exist and are online.
will do
so what is stream id supposed to be? = to the camera or all set the same? (id=1 as in tied to diskstation 1?)
No, using text file configuration you should specify your camera id in the Thing ID:
synologysurveillancestation:camera:diskstation:<CameraID>
So your config with :1, :2, :3, :4 should actually work.
As for the stream ID, itâs used to choose a preconfigured stream/quality (see Synology Surveillance Station -> IP-Camera -> Edit -> Video), defaults to 1 for Stream 1
Aside of the warning youâve posted earlier, what issues do you have with your configuration? Do you see things generated? Are they online? Is there something else in log to be seen?
Iâm still at work for a short while so i only have brief moments to change things. Iâll get more time this evening around 20:00 (GMT-5)
Gonna sleep soundly then but Iâll check on you tomorrow
