Watchdog service to restart the integration if Blue Iris Reboots

[giuarb]

Integration works well for me but ideally there should be a watchdog service to restart the integration if blueiris reboots.
It is annoying to manually restart the integration if for example blueiris updates or the system reboots.
Am I the only one with this ?

I have the same problem. The Blueiris integration must be reloaded manually every time the video server is rebooted. Unfortunately there is no service for this.

Came here for literally this reason.... first comment up is my issue. Need some kind of watchdog to reload the integration when it disconnects.

Whitelist your IPs. This has worked for me

See in Issue #217 #217

I like the idea but I don't understand this integration well enough to know where to start. elad-bar did a lot of stuff that (not bad at all) is foreign to me so I hate to touch too much.
Sorry but I welcome any pr's.

Hey @johnjoemorgan, appreciate the workaround, but ideally it would have a configurable watchdog capability (e.g. no connection / response to the website in 30 seconds), to enable triggering a restart, so that we don't have to disable auth/auth for a specific IP address.

I also think this would be a great addition. Every once in a while I'll log in and all of my cameras are dead. Logs show issues in the middle of the night. Windows Updates, BlueIris Updates, VM Backups. All of these seem to trigger the issue. A simple restart of the integration and everything is happy again.
I though it would be easier to write an automation to restart an integration based on a log entry, but that has proven a bit more difficult than I had originally thought.
