Homebridge - enable/disable cameras idea

[helo-head]

Ive been using homebridge-ssh running on a raspberry pi to turn specific protect cameras on/off based on HomeKit arrive/leave automations. Specifically I turn off all of the inside cameras any time a family member is at home. I'm able to do this via ssh because I placed my inside / outside cameras on different vlans. Thus I can use the following commands to control my cameras:

Turning Off: "ip link set  eth10.104 down"
Turning On: "ip link set  eth10.104 up"
Determining status: "ip link show  eth10.104 | grep -o 'state UP' -c",

Its not perfect but since Unifi does not provide any similar function this is what Im stuck with. Unfortunately the homebridge-ssh plugin is no longer supported and suffers from a lot of issues making this plugin unreliable when used with versions of node.js > 8.

Id would love to see this type of functionality added to the Homebridge utility. My guess is there are others who have wives or significant others who don't like cameras inside the house being active while they are home ...
