homebridge-camera-ffmpeg: How do you use http to trigger doorbell button? Nothing in the Wiki/Readme
Describe The Problem:
The description states:
doorbell: Exposes the doorbell device for this camera. This can be triggered with the dummy switches, MQTT messages, or via HTTP, depending on what features are enabled in the config. (Default: false)
I would like to use a http command to activate the doorbell trigger button, but I see no instructions on how to do so

Awesome, thanks for testing guys. I’ll likely push this to release later today.
So, fun fact. Apparently I had broken HTTP/MQTT automation at some point. I found the error while adding in some HTTP responses, and will be publishing a new version with fixes later tonight, once I’ve had some time to do a bit more testing to make sure I got it all.
