version : latest pip 0.42.1
installed as a package or compiled from sources: yum rpm for motion and pip for motioneye.
standalone or part of third party: standalone
video stream source: net cam rtsp
hardware: x64
operating system : Centos 7

I don't understand how to use the motion api rest for control cameras and how they reflect on motioneye status.
I have a camera that is turned on only when alarm is activated, so if I leave always enabled in motioneye got a lot of errors in system log, so i try to disable the cam with the motion api rest:

curl http://192.168.0.1:7999/3/action/quit
quit in progress ... bye 
Done

and the errors stop flloging in the log, but when the camera restart, i want to restart the motion processing with:

curl http://192.168.0.1:7999/3/action/restart
Restart in progress ...
Done

but motioneye never see the changes.
In the same way, if I stop the motion detection with api rest, motioneye never update the input toggle

Could someone explain how to use in the proper way?
thanks

Same issue, but with motion status START/PAUSE. I think one way is to monitor /status endpoint

hello, I have the same issue (deactivating camera with http request, or deactivating motion detection also with http request, but the status doesn't change in motioneye gui interface). Have you find a solution to solve the problem? thank you
