Amcrest camera motion sensors

Configuration
1

Hi,

I have two Amcrest IP3M-956, and one IP2M-841. According to the compatibility Matrix, they should all work. However, I can’t get the motion sensors to show motion in HA. The cameras are all configured to detect motion and save videos to a local NAS. That all works fine. The cameras show up just fine in HA too, but motion detection does not work. I automatically get the sensors in HA, but they stay ‘off’ whatever the amount of motion. My configuration is as follows:

amcrest:
  - name: "cam1"
    host: 192.168.x.x
    port: xxxx
    username: !secret amcrest_username
    password: !secret amcrest
    scan_interval: 5
    sensors:
      - motion_detector
  - name: "cam2"
    host: 192.168.x.x
    port: xxxx
    username: !secret amcrest_username
    password: !secret amcrest
    scan_interval: 5
    sensors:
      - motion_detector
  - name: "cam3"
    host: 192.168.x.x
    port: xxxx
    username: !secret amcrest_username
    password: !secret amcrest
    scan_interval: 5
    sensors:
      - motion_detector
camera:
  - platform: amcrest
sensor:
  - platform: amcrest

The second thing is that the “scan_interval” remains at the default 10 seconds even if I change it in the configuration.

Is there something I’m doing wrong or are they bugs?

Thanks!

Anyone ? I’m sure I’m not the only one with this issue…

I know this is an old thread, but I am experiencing the same problem, scan_interval has no effect on the scan_interval, it remains at 10 seconds regardless of the setting.
