coretechr / zerobot Goto Github PK

The web UI works on a computer but does not do anything on a mobile or tablet or even touchscreen computer. I guess this is due to document.createTouch being deprecated and removed from most browsers.

Changing condition on line 215 to touchable = 'ontouchstart' in window, fixes the issue partially for Android phones, however 2in1 devices still don't react to touches. Commenting out the whole if (touchable) { … } else {…}, leaving both branches in place seems to be working properly for me.

Since the IP address of the camera feed is hardcoded in the Touch.html file, it does not work if accessed from an external network. The IP should change dynamically to reflect the server's IP regardless from where it is accessed.

I have been able to solve this by replacing this line:

<img src="http://192.168.1.10:9000/?action=stream" />

with this short script:

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
host = window.location.hostname;
img = '<img src="http://' + host + ':9000/?action=stream" />';
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = img;
</script>

as i wrote in title, i would like to see an option to control the bot with a ps4 control (or generic joystick).

I realize there hasnt been a commit on this in two years but I had a thought of integrating this into home assistant/frigate/deepstack.

Putting an RTMP stream into frigate would can the camera for targeted objects, or, if a targeted object is found at another location, send the bot to that location while recording to frigate.

I was thinking rather than using a GPS module which would make it a lot more complex, savings "paths" or routines into a script in home assistant that can be sent to the bot via restful api if a camera in another room detected something. Or just program a "patrol" of the house and save the video to home assistant gallery for viewing.

I'm waiting on the rest of my parts to arrive, and while I'm not a crack programmer I think this is something worth looking into. Once I get going can I make a PR?
