[AXIS Q1961-TE Thermal Camera] Add "max temperature" variable to MQTT publish message with Temperature Detection function Event rule?

[josh-wiseot]

Hi,

As shown in the diagram below. I was able to successfully configure a MQTT publishing feature based on a Temperature Detection Event on an AXIS Q1961-TE Thermal Camera.

However, it appears that the camera's web UI only supports preset / prepared text to publish when events occur.

Does AXIS support some "variables" that may be added to the MQTT payload and subsequently sent to provide runtime temperature, event triggering condition / causes, and so on?

If not, from which API can I obtain runtime events and this information?

Thanks.

Hi @josh-wiseot ,
I don't have an AXIS Q1961-TE Thermal Camera with me but I tried your scenario with another camera and found that it is not possible to change the payload but you can always create a custom Topic name. Hope this helps you.

How to subscribe to events from the Axis device using the MQTT Event Bridge:

Thanks. It works, and I can add a fixed "detected / triggered reason" message into the payload (ex. "large than 30 °C over 3 seconds"). Otherwise, if I want get the "dynamic" rule with a happened event, I should use CGI API manually.
