Question: Motion sensor on each Zone #94

Open RichardMawdsley opened 3 years ago

RichardMawdsley commented 3 years ago

Hi, Is it possible to base motion on the different Zones available on each camera? I know it sends the MQTT message slightly differently, but did not know if there was an easier option with your integration to tell the difference? Thanks, Rich

Can you send mqtt message samples of different zones?

RichardMawdsley commented 3 years ago

Sure thing, it sends it like the below:

{ "type": "MOTION_AB", "trigger": "ON"}

Where AB are Zone A and Zone B that have been triggered. If more it'll be MOTION_ABCD, or MOTION_B, etc.

Any thoughts on this @elad-bar ? Need anything else from me to assist?

elad-bar commented 3 years ago

Thanks, now I just need to find time to do that (overloaded at work), What I plan to do is to create additional sensors per letter, A will be the main zone, Can you share with me what message are you getting when trigger is off?

Thanks

I can certainly appreciate that! Your efforts towards this and the project as a whole are greatly appreciated bud!

Not sure if the sensor per zone will work or not. For instance if Zone A and B are triggered (because they can overlap) then its sent as a single mqtt message as opposed to two individuals.. Same as when they turn off. Multiple examples for possibilities:

{ "type": "MOTION_AB", "trigger": "ON"} { "type": "MOTION_AB", "trigger": "OFF"} { "type": "MOTION_BD", "trigger": "ON"} { "type": "MOTION_BD", "trigger": "OFF"} { "type": "MOTION_C", "trigger": "ON"} { "type": "MOTION_C", "trigger": "OFF"} { "type": "MOTION_ABCDE", "trigger": "ON"} { "type": "MOTION_ABCDE", "trigger": "OFF"}

Only when it's just zone A or B triggered, not both or more, would it come through singually such as:

{ "type": "MOTION_A", "trigger": "ON"} { "type": "MOTION_A", "trigger": "OFF"}

I suppose a sensor for every possible combination would work.. But I can't imagine that would be desirable!

Hopefully you've got a trick up your sleeve 😏.

Just checking in on this additional feature...thank you for an excellent integration

Any joy towards this @elad-bar ?

I'm no longer maintaining that component as I switched to Shinobi Video

RichardMawdsley commented 3 years ago

That's a real shame, and must say I'm surprised given my understanding is BI being the far superior product.
