Cool, thanks. That kinda got me where I wanted to be. Can I get the memo from the attributes and use that rather than just detected - So it would basically be a garage camera, but depending on what the AI detects is what is displayed?
Garage Door Camera - Clear or Person/Car/Name/Plate
If you use a binary_sensor, its state is either on or off (detected or clear).
You may consider using “sensor” instead because sensor state can be an arbitrary string. Up to you.
Alterantively, since I am using binary_sensor, I display memo in logbook using a custom, more flexible logbook component: GitHub - royto/logbook-card: Logbook card for Home Assistant UI Lovelace (installed via HACS)
BTW, I have a camera doing ALPR so I display plate value in that case.
For some scenarios, as part of an automation, I write a custom log entry to logbook. Look at logbook.log service, scroll down on this doc page Logbook - Home Assistant
hey that’s super nifty - thanks for the inspo, I’ll look around… sometimes I forget theres a HACs card for basically anything you want to do. Cheers
