azkid Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Trying to set up a program that only runs when someone is watching the TV. See below screenshot. I've tried it a few different ways but no matter what I do the program runs even when the TV/AMP/Familyroom is off. Anyone know how I should do this?

OceanDad Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 You need to nest your commands under the IF statement, so that they are inset. At the moment they are considered equal to the IF statement, rather than 'children'. Drag the green arrow to the blue question mark. I'm more interested in what you are actually trying to achieve with your programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, still new to programming but I’ll give this a shot. the idea of this program is to pull up my front door camera when someone is at the door. I only want it to do this when I am already watching tv. Then after a I have a chance to see who is at the door go back to my original tv content. It works great minus the fact that I still don’t know how to trigger it. Was hoping to use a lts camera I have but can’t get motion detection to work.

brucecampbell Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Instead of programming the remote button clicks to navigate to menu item, you should be choosing the source directly in the programming. When Entrance Door Cam senses motion If Family Room Is ON Select Entrance Door Cam Video in the Family Room if Alarm is armed Send Notification 'Someone is at the door' (with photo attatchement) else maybe do a voice alert or door bell chime ......

If he only wants camera feed when the TV is on, check that power status rather than the room. Room could be playing audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen/heard you could do this with Navigation agent? the camera is a LTS IP camera that I am connecting to via the LTS NVR Driver. It is in no way physically connected to this tv. Any more info on how to set this up directly vs navigating the menus would be very helpful! @JFH good point, I will make this correction!

Yup, you can use the navigation agent (“Jump”). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the Snapshot driver to revert the video source back to what it was before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works with LTS cameras, which are rebranded Hikvision. 90 day free trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
