can somebody help me with this one.
My question(s) are at the bottom of this message.
I run MotionEye on an RPI zero 2W and and on an BPI M2 Zero and all runs very smooth.
I have created two buttons at the right bottom of the screen, "light_on_1" and "light_off_1" who do Start Motion Detection" and "Stop Motion Detection". See picture.
In that way I can manually start and stop movie recording. All works very well. No problem at all.
The script "light_on_1" is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
curl "http://localhost:7999/1/config/set?emulate_motion=1"
The script "light_off_1" is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
curl "http://localhost:7999/1/config/set?emulate_motion=0"
Please note: Motioneye does not allow the scripts having a file extention, so just "light_on_1" and "light_off_1". The files do need to be in /etc/motioneye and made executable with chmod +x light_on_1 and the same with the other file.
Question:
Would it be possible for the development team for:

Offering Recording ON icon including action
Offering Recording OFF icon including action
Red light somewhere around the screen when recording is active

PS: the below command line input does the job also:
wget -O- "http://:7999/1/detection/start" >/dev/null
wget -O- "http://:7999/1/detection/pause" >/dev/null
