Automation NOT working. :(

Configuration

I have my configuration setup, Whenever motion is detected it should take a camera.snapshot and save in /media/ directory. When I run it manually from the automation menu, it works perfectly. I am new to Home assistant Automation unable to get it to run automatically. :sob: Please help. Please see my configuration below:

id: '1669274337701'
alias: 'Notify: Motion Detected on Frontyard.'
description: ''
trigger:
  - type: motion
    platform: device
    device_id: cb848d50d340ded6272b614a4be93c92
    entity_id: binary_sensor.frontyard_motion_region_detection
    domain: binary_sensor

      data:

  - service: camera.snapshot

        - cb848d50d340ded6272b614a4be93c92
      entity_id: camera.doods_frontyard
mode: single

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :pray:

Are you sure the motion is detected?

Does the state of binary_sensor.frontyard_motion_region_detection change at all (check in history)

If so, you can check the traces of the automation (no trace means not triggered)

And you may want to try
