Hey man, great work. Love it.

What do you think about exposing some more settings to home assistant? I've seen that it is possible to set some parameters with picam2.set_controls, even while udp stream is running. When not to home assistant, the config file could be a place for that.

Could be useful for people with extreme light conditions or when cameras switch from day to nightvision. Homeassistant could control those parameters based on daytime or something like that.

Sadly it does not seem to be possible to switch tuning files while running and those are rather complicated

Yes, would be useful and I already started with that in config file. I was very busy the last weeks to finalize and publish it, but this is definitely the next planned feature.
