ptz Stop not working

[LucaCraft89]

The problem it's easy to understand, when i press the button in ha the capera moves but does not stop in anyway, and mannulay calling the stop service does not work, help me i have been going thru many configuartion panels and nothing works, i am going thru a dvr

[dbuezas]

Sorry to hear that. There's actually no specific stop command to stop the camera, so the integration sends does await self.cam.dvrip.ptz("DirectionUp", preset=-1), which in most cameras does the trick. Try sending DirectionUp with other preset number, maybe some other works for your specific camera

Thanks, analyzing the calls from the website of the DVR it seems that the stop is preset -1, but I can't sand it thru home assistant, would you mind helping me figure out how to do that thru ha?

[dbuezas]

You can test it via Develoer Tools

I already tried it doesn't let me go below 0

[dbuezas]

Oh, you'll have to hack the code a bit then.

• Inside your custom_components folder, you'll find this integration. (you can use the file editor addon from here)
• Then modify this line of this file to -10, or whatever you want.
• Save and restart home assistant

Don't worry if you don't know how to program, just replace the text as indicated and and you'll be able to test it. If anything breaks, just uninstall and reinstall the component and all the files in the folder will be restored

OMG thank you soo much

[LucaCraft89]

hi, @dbuezas i have changeed the line to -10 but i am still getting error

Failed to call service icsee_ptz/move. value must be at least 0 for dictionary value @ data['preset']

[dbuezas]

Did you restart home assistant?

[LucaCraft89]

Yes, I did, even tried restarting the whole OS

[dbuezas]

Uhm. I don't know why that could be maybe delete and read the device?

Btw, you already know -1 doesn't work have you tried positive numbers?

[LucaCraft89]

You mean deleting and adding it again?

And yes but I need it to make the movement stop since the Stop does not work

[dbuezas]

Yes, delete and re-add the device

[LucaCraft89]

Ok I'll try
