Scripts to provide notifications when MotionEye spots activity. Integration uses:

• Slack - For delivering the notifications.

• Install MotionEye on your Raspberry Pi (https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/wiki/Installation)
• Clone this project into the home directory on the Pi
• Add the required 3rd party modules to the python installation (See External Dependencies section below)
• Add the following command on the MotionEye in Preferences > Motion Notifications > Command /root/MotionEyeAlert/alert.sh 1 MyCamera

Where:

MyCamera - is the Camera Name and 1 - is the Camera ID

Environment variables must be set for the application to run:

export MOTION_EYE_SERVER_URL=http://motioncam.somewhere.com
export MOTION_EYE_USER=admin
export MOTION_EYE_SIGNATURE=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
export SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXXXX/XXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXX
export SLACK_CHANNEL=alert

These should be located in your .profile on the Pi itself.
If they are specified for the default admin user they should be located in a profile file you should create called /admin/.profile. These will then be automatically set when the alert.sh script runs.

MOTION_EYE_SIGNATURE can be obtained by looking at the Video Streaming > Snapshot URL

##Slack

• Register on Slack on the Create a New Team page
• Add a new webhook and channel you would like to use for notifications on the Incoming-Webhook setup page
• Put the Webhook URL and channel name in the config file.

##External Dependencies Communication with Slack is carried out using the requests module. Because the default MotionEye image does not contain much in the way of utilities this can just be lifted from a local install and copied into the default python install directory on the pi. This is obviously not the best method but is more convenient than installing MotionEye on top of a default Pi image.
