Blue iris motion can trigger different things. I had it trigger an ifttt applet that would control my exterior lights with a webcore piston. You could also set up notifications from BI. Set up tasker or AutomateIT to take that notification with specific text and open a webpage. The issue I had with that was I'd end up with tons of open tabs. Now I use hubitat for this. The ST motion sensor on my porch talks to hubitat with their integration. Then hubitat uses Fully Kiosk controller to manage the fully devices. It's a Plus feature but you can use motion sensors to open URLs on tablets. So when theres motion on the porch (could be a motion sensor or a camera acting as motion) the tablets I select open the blue iris url for that camera for 60 seconds then they go back to the start url. Hopefully that makes sense. I can try to get you more detail later tonight if you want it

There's a smartapp, BlueIris Connect, which allowed you to add the cameras as motion sensors. Not sure about the page flip though.

Thank you both. I have fully plus. I will look into what is possible with tabs. I'll also check out the Blue Iris smart app.
