No activity detected - Reolink cameras

[rjmcfadd]

I'm using this with my Reolink cameras which has sensors for Person, Vehicle, and Animals. I'm using those motion sensors in the blueprint since the trigger state doesn't change from 'Idle' for these cameras. However, I keep getting notifications that say no movement observed or no activity detected but the motion sensors aren't detecting anything. Any ideas why that would be happening?

You should have the same number of motion sensors as cameras. In your case, I recommend creating two helpers for each camera. You can use "group" helpers that combine the state of multiple binary sensors.

Thank you! That seems to be working better now. I also had to mask off part of the road in my camera settings because sometimes a passing car would set the vehicle sensor off but the car was already gone by the time the snapshot was taken. That was resulting in a no activity observed notification.

Do you find the masking in the reolink app works within HA? I have my road masked and my front door notifications still mention my wife's SUV parked at the curb.

@rjmcfadd Can you please post a screenshot of your config?
