IPC-Color4K-T180 - Control warm light with API?

[Bobba Ferret]

I have just bought this camera from Andy. There will probably be enough light for this to work without using the built-in warm lights, plus there are LED floodlights that come on with a motion sensor, which will help.

However, as a Home Assistant user, I'm interested to see if there is a way to turn on the warm light using the API?

I can get the light status using

http://192.168.1.108/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=Lighting_V2

, but can't seem to change the lighting mode between Manual, Auto and Off.

I though that I could send the command

http://192.168.1.108/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting[0][2][0].Mode=Manual

, which returns an "ok", but does not seem to actually change the mode.

Has anyone used the API to do this successfully?

It seems @Edition8975 and @tigerwillow1 have some good results below:

finally figured it out:

cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting_V2[0][1][0].Mode=Manual

sets the white light to ON

cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting_V2[0][1][0].Mode=Off

sets it off

Thank you, I was missing the _v2 part, although I still can't get it to turn off, only on!

I will keep playing
