  Already did this but I don't see the added value, it would be nice to make a video or send a snapshot but that option is not "webbased" possible with Foscam.
  
  I have added the code below
  
  YOUR_IPCAM = IP address of cam
  PORT = Port to connect to
  
  Username = A user on the cam with access rights to change Pan and Tilt
  Password = the password for the above user
  PTZ_NAME = name of the preset you want your cam to go to

  I use:
  
  http://YOUR_IPCAM:PORT/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzGotoPresetPoint&name=PTZ_NAME&usr=Username&pwd=Password

  Maybe this depends on the firmware or version of the foscam, I will try to do it with your settings aswell on the same cam

  By the way you can also make a snapshot by doing
  
  http://IP_ADDRESS:PORT/html/snap.html

  Ok, this is the adres i send to Chromecast so Homey can put the snapshot on my tv.
  But we are very offtopic alr, sorry for that.

  Found the solution for this as well
  
  http://yourip:port/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr=USERID&pwd=PASSWORD
  
  Then right after this

  Did you define a PTZ preset first in your Foscam app/webUI with the exact name that you use in the URL command?
