Sitecontroller configuration for the Camera integration

In order to integrate the Cisco cameras on the Azeti sollution, the following things have to be added to the sitecontroller coniguration

Step-by-step guide

1. A sensor per camera:

    <sensor sensor_id="Camera_1_100-Generator">
   	<sensor_class>boolean</sensor_class>
   	<state_evaluation_expressions>
   		<state_evaluation_expression>
   			<expression>True</expression>
   			<true volatile="true">Image</true>
   		</state_evaluation_expression>
   	</state_evaluation_expressions>
   </sensor>

2. A device per camera on the devices section

   <device device_id="cisco_cam_1_100-Generator">
   	<camera_device>
   		<ip_settings>
   			<address>192.168.1.100</address>
   		</ip_settings>
   		<credentials>
   			<user>admin</user>
   			<password>C!sc0123</password>
   		</credentials>
   	</camera_device>
   </device>

3. Add the actions:

   1. To take snapshots, one per camera:

       <action action_id="Snap_100-Generator" device_id="cisco_cam_1_100-Generator">
      	<commands>
      		<command command_id="shot"/>
      	</commands>
      </action>

   2. To be able to take a snapshot as a remote actions from the cloud (one per camera):

      <action action_id="Manual_Snap_Generator" device_id="VirtualSensorProvider">
      	<commands>
      		<command command_id="shot">publish_calibrated_result('Camera_1_100-Generator', True)</command>
      		<command command_id="init" exec_on_startup="true">publish_calibrated_result('Camera_1_100-Generator', False)</command>
      	</commands>
      </action>

4. Add the rules:

   1. To take a picture when the door is open, after 3 seconds:

       <rule rule_id="Door_Snapshot">
      	<triggers>
      		<trigger sensor_id="Door" trigger_topic="calibrated_result" value_name="door_alarm" value_type="decimal"/>
      	</triggers>
      	<timers>
      		<timer delay="3" timer_id="T1"/>
      	</timers>
      	<conditions>
      		<condition expr="door_alarm == 1 ">
      			<true>
      				<action_list>
      					<action action_id=" Snap_100-Generator " command="shot" timer="T1"/>
      				</action_list>
      			</true>
      		</condition>
      	</conditions>
      </rule>

   2. Add a rule to trigger the snapshot from the cloud:

       <rule rule_id="Snap_Image_Generator">
      	<triggers>
      		<trigger sensor_id="Camera_1_100-Generator" trigger_topic="calibrated_result" value_name="snap" value_type="boolean"/>
      	</triggers>
      	<conditions>
      		<condition expr="snap == True">
      			<true>
      				<action_list>
      					<action action_id="Snap_100-Generator" command="shot"/>
      				</action_list>
      				<state_list>
      					<state state_name="snap" state_value="False"/>
      				</state_list>
      			</true>
      		</condition>
      	</conditions>
      </rule>
