<![CDATA[Control multi WiFi cameras via one script]]>As I mentioned here https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/1953/voice-controlling-x10-pan-tilt-wifi-cameras I have HomeGenie (HG) move my wifi cameras via macros based off a security system trip.
I did add a simple way to perform that task for my front door via TRIGGERcmd and Voice nice cool factor.
However I have several cameras some outside some inside I view all these at once in HG via a special camera page. Each camera has 4 preset buttons I added to widgets I created. Now I could just press a preset button for each to turn the camera to a door (yes they all can focus on multiple door entries)
To make things simpler and faster I thought I'd make a simple script to turn all cameras to the preset that matched the closest entry door to the camera. Now I can say Alexa run door watcher and all cameras turn to the closest door to the camera.
the script is simple enough

#!bin/bash
#camera 1 preset 1
curl "URL for preset"
#camera2 preset 2
curl "URL for preset"

If you test this from the command line and all goes well you should get a "OK" response from each camera.
I've tested this thus far with 4 cameras (3 different brands & models).
