PTZ controls with the official HASS Reolink integration

[threnbo]

Is it possible to use PTZ controls when using the official Relink integration (camera model E1 Zoom)?

The integrations adds button entities for PTZ controls. I tried using the example posted here #167 but it doesn't work.

When adding the camera with the official Onvif integration the above mentioned example works, but I want to use several entites only added by the Reolink integration.

Thank you!

It seems to work with this code:

type: custom:webrtc-camera
entity: camera.e1_zoom_main
ui: true
ptz:
  service: button.press
  data_left:
    entity_id: button.e1_zoom_ptz_left
  data_right:
    entity_id: button.e1_zoom_ptz_right
  data_up:
    entity_id: button.e1_zoom_ptz_up
  data_down:
    entity_id: button.e1_zoom_ptz_down
  data_zoom_in:
    entity_id: button.e1_zoom_ptz_zoom_in
  data_zoom_out:
    entity_id: button.e1_zoom_ptz_zoom_out

Remaining problem is that one button press means full movement in each direction.

I see in the reolink integration docs that: "PTZ left, right, up, down, zoom in and zoom out will continually move the camera in the respective position until the PTZ stop is called or the hardware limit is reached."

So the issue could be solved with calling script like this:

e1_zoom_ptz_up_with_stop:
  alias: e1_zoom_ptz_up_with_stop
  sequence:
  - service: button.press
    target:
      entity_id: button.e1_zoom_ptz_up
  - delay:
      seconds: 0.5
  - service: button.press
    target:
      entity_id: button.e1_zoom_ptz_stop

The question is how to call that script from webrtc camera card?

You can use an automation for that.
