v0.1.22 — Browser parking
Browser parking to reduce alarm.com load
The headless browser now parks on the alarm.com dashboard when not actively capturing, instead of sitting on the video page 24/7. This significantly reduces load on alarm.com's video infrastructure.
What's new
- Browser parking — navigates to the dashboard between captures to stop video streaming
- Manual burst capture (60s) — when a snapshot is triggered via HA service call or refresh button, captures at ~1fps for 60 seconds then parks. Additional requests during a burst extend the timer.
- Periodic burst capture (20s) — every 30 minutes (configurable), wakes up, captures snapshots for 20s across all cameras, then parks again.
- Default snapshot interval changed from 10 to 30 minutes
