Camect Triggers

Third party integrations
1

Hi

I’m trying use the detection in Camect to trigger lights, or send me notifications through Home Assistant.

There is a custom integration, but it relies on an event bus rather than a sensor. Has anyone got this working successfully? I’ve seen a few posts about it, but not a full explanation - I’m not massively experienced with coding but I get the principles.

Thanks

Create an automation triggered by the camect_event event. Use template condition to filter which objects you want like {{ "person" in trigger.event.data.detected_obj }}

I cant get this to work
im useing the
When camect_event event is fired

Template condition

Value template *

1 “person” in trigger.event.data.detected_obj

i have tried this too
“Side Door just saw a person” in camect_event.data

here is the data

event_type: camect_event
data:
device_id: camera.camect_5f5
type: alert
raw_data: >-

The filter needs to be “person” in trigger.event.data.raw_data.detected_obj.

Here’s an example of sending a critical iPhone notification when person has been detected

alias: Notify iPhone when person is detected
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: camect_event
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ 'person' in trigger.event.data.raw_data.detected_obj }}"
action:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone_mini2
    data:
      message: Motion has been detected
      data:
        push:
          sound:
            name: US-EN-Alexa-Motion-Detected-Generic.wav
            critical: 1
            volume: 1.0
mode: single
