I have a working configuration for ON/OFF here:
https://yalis.fr/git/yves/home-server/src/branch/master/roles
In short:
1. You need to choose a webcontrol port:
https://yalis.fr/git/yves/home-server/src/branch/master/roles/motion_back/tasks/main.yml#L62
In my case, this control port is localhost-only, but I forward to it
from a Unix socket, using socat:
https://yalis.fr/git/yves/home-server/src/branch/master/roles/motion_back/tasks/main.yml#L233
This does not change the general idea.
2. You send a GET request
(https://yalis.fr/git/yves/home-server/src/branch/master/roles/dmz_motion_front/templates/index.html.j2#L42)
without any parameters, to the URL where your webcontrol port is
listening
(https://yalis.fr/git/yves/home-server/src/branch/master/roles/dmz_motion_front/tasks/main.yml#L29)
with a link that contains the ID of your camera, and then
`detection/pause`
(https://yalis.fr/git/yves/home-server/src/branch/master/roles/dmz_motion_front/templates/index.html.j2#L18)
or `detection/start`
(https://yalis.fr/git/yves/home-server/src/branch/master/roles/dmz_motion_front/templates/index.html.j2#L19).
Now, I realize, this is not quite ON/OFF _of the camera_, but of the
movement capture instead. But if you turn the camera really OFF, I?m not
sure it would respond to an ON signal, if that even exists?

Yves.
(N.B. don?t try and reuse the whole playbook: many things broke over
time for a 1st-time install, and I am currently working on fixing
everything)
