I run motion (not motioneyeos) on an old pi to shoot timelapse and periodic snapshots and my recollection is that it can be set up to permit password-less control of the configuration. For example, I can use cron jobs to turn timelapse on/off ala: wget http://localhost:8080/0/config/set?ffmpeg_timelapse=60 To me motion.conf is pretty complicated. It would be easy to make a mistake and enable outside web control if you set webcontrol_localhost=off and exposed your webcontrol_port to outside traffic. Definitely don't do that :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
