[enhancement]: JUST serve as an on/off #105

Describe the solution you'd like

I use homekit for primary link to eufy cam. I want to be able to turn camera off via homekit. Can you make it so it can just toggle video on and off?

Did you check this Road Map pages ?

Hi @bwt615

there is already the option enableButton. With this it's possible to turn camera on/off. But I suppose you want to turn on/off and also don't use the camera itself (e.g. enableCamera: false), am I right?

Correct!

You could try the latest beta. I have made some changes that should enable you to do just what you want.

Please let me know, if this is what you meant.

I tried turning the camera on/off and it seems broken to me.

When I click it off it the button auto switches back on, but the camera does turn off.. I just can't turn it back on? Anyway here is the logs I got:::
