@Degeert You should be able to add the use the P/T Speed or Preset Drive Speed actions to accomplish what you want.
If all else fails, you can use the custom command once #6 is merged in to send any command you want to the camera based on PTZOptics VISCA or IP command document.
It seems like the VISCA over IP command for zoom speed is missing in the documentation for PTZOptics cameras: https://ptzoptics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/PTZOptics-VISCA-over-IP-Rev-1_2-8-20.pdf
I have posted a question in a PTZOptics forum thread, asking what the command should be. I am waiting for the post to be accepted and answered: https://help.ptzoptics.com/support/discussions/topics/13000022947/page/2
Edit 2021-04-22: My question has not been accepted/added yet in the PTZOptics forum. I have asked the question again.
I got a response in the PTZOptics forum that the zoom speed can be sent as a parameter when sending the VISCA commands:
I didn't notice this before, but it means that selectable zoom speed can be implemented in the same way as P/T speed has been implemented.
Thank you for the supplied information. What I don't understand is how I should make use of the supplied content. In Companion I made use of PTZoptics : Visco instance. The option as shown by hjoelr for speed setting does not appear in my case.
The PTZOptics VISCA or IP command document link shows a 404 error. Did I do something wrong?
Hello, may I respectfully ask if zoom speed control has been implemented already, is to be done soon or won't be done?
I appreciate there is the custom command option, but it is rarther cumbersome and seems a little hackish.
Many thanks.
@Gartom, I have just added a comment to #18 after doing a little more digging.
@FS00001 and anyone else that finds this, you currently need to add a Custom Command action, eg "PTZ_Cam1: Custom command"

to zoom out slowly. note 2 = zoom out and the 0 following the 2 is very slow...
81 01 04 07 27 FF
to zoom out very fast, the 7 following the 2 is very fast... integers in between give a total of 8 speeds.
81 01 04 07 30 FF
to zoom in slowly, note 3 = zoom in
Hopefully, #18 will be made available.
I am very happy with all the functionalities but i am missing one thing... The pan & tilt function has the possibility to adjust the speed of panning & tilting. I don't see a function to set the speed of the zoom. Is it not there or do i not see it? It would be awesome to have control over the zoomspeed in the same way as it can control pan & tilt.
