Closed prakash-patel closed 3 years ago

prakash-patel commented 3 years ago

By calling Notify endpoint i can turn on and off camera. Is that any endpoint i can call for device and they tells me if camera is on or off?

I too am struggling to find a way to validate the status of a camera. What is the best way to return the on/off status of a device ?

Try GetCameraState.

Using GetCameraState I can see the 'privacyActive' attribute change when I turn one of the cameras on or off. 'False' for on, 'True' for off. Seems a strange attribute to report on
