Home Assistant plugin?

[robvdl]

I run both Home Assistant and Zoneminder on my network.

I know lots of users prefer to do video in Home Assistant using Frigate, but I have gone down another path and I'm using Zoneminder for my security setup.

Is there any sort of Home Assistant plugin for Zoneminder? So Zoneminder can inform Home Assistant of events? even if it's on HACS that's fine.

If not, this could be an interesting project to write a plugin, I'm an experienced developer, particularly Python.

I think I need to setup event server, I think this is what I'm after https://community.home-assistant.io/t/n ... api/129725

The event server turns ZM into something a lot more useful and reliable for me. Hope you get on ok.

once there was dev that made a zmeventserver written in Python. All part of the object/face recognition components that enabled push notifications to zmNinja.

A plugin approach would be a really good project.

I havn't gotten around to figuring out how to install it though.
