Hi there,

I’m doing some tests to play with Motion Detection and found the service ‘camera.enable_motion_detection’.

When I try to use it I receive the below message:

e[31m2017-12-10 10:31:39 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Error doing job: Task exception was never retrievede[0m

    raise NotImplementedError()

Well, it’s clear is not implemented yet. Anyone knows the timelines for this?

Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:
