Hello Briss
I would like to be able to enable/disable the usb webcam in SS on my mac with a HA switch. Both SS and HA are running on the same mac. I would like to automate that if I go out I can enable the camera with an automation. The reason for that is, that the usb camera uses recourses on the mac which I don't want to spend when I'm at home. Do you see a possibility to do this? Thanks for your support. Best regards, Stefan

hello and congratulations on the integration which is very simple to set up and works perfectly.
the thing I noticed is that even if the motion detection is deactivated in security spy Hass still receives the notification, for example I have created an automation to turn on the lights when a cam detects movement, but I noticed that even when the detection automation is disabled.
Am I making some mistake?
