How to access V2 Cam motion sensor for Homekit automation

[HoTiCE2]

Describe The Problem: I've just successfully flashed 4 x V2 Cams to the latest RTSP firmware 4.28.4.49 and everything works for streaming. I am however unable to access the motion sensor that is available in the Wyze native app. From reading online, it appears some are saying it should work.

I understand that we can create fake switches and motion sensors and tie them to a real sensor automation but I am trying to see if I can access the native motion sensor that is on the camera. Is this possible?

To Reproduce: Nothing to reproduce, the motion sensor is simply not available.

Logs: Even in debug mode, nothing occurs when there is motion in front of the camera

Homebridge Config:

"name": "Camera Driveway",
                    "manufacturer": "Wyze",
                    "model": "Cam V2",
                    "motion": true,
                    "switches": true,
                    "videoConfig": {
                        "source": "-rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://username:password@1[IP address]/live",
                        "stillImageSource": "-rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://username:password@[IP address]/still_image.jpg",
                        "vcodec": "copy",
                        "audio": true
                    }

Here are the various ways to get motion sensor from the camera to trigger a motion sensor in HomeKit. https://sunoo.github.io/homebridge-camera-ffmpeg/automation/

I’m not sure what Wyze RTSP supports natively, but if you switch to Dafang there is plugin for getting the motion sensor info over MQTT and into HomeKit.

Gotcha but those just generate a dummy motion sensor that you can trigger with a distinct real sensor. I assume there is no way then to get access to the native motion sensor in the Wyze Cam V2

If the RTSP firmware supports FTP uploads or SMTP emails, you can trigger motion that way. I’m not familiar with that firmware.
