FFmpeg binary sensor - how to use?

Configuration
1

Hi @pvizeli,

You made a lot of great things for Hass, it would be also great if you could check the documentation for ffmpeg binary sensors and clarify how it reflects the breaking changes introduced in HASS 0.38.0:

The FFmpeg binary sensor change the platform name from ffmpeg to ffmpeg_noise and ffmpeg_motion. Also all FFmpeg-related services are moved from a platform implementation to a the FFmpeg components and were rename from binary_sensor.ffmpeg_xy to ffmpeg.xy.

At the same time, according to the documentation for motion sensor:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: ffmpeg
    input: FFMPEG_SUPPORTED_INPUT

For noise sensor:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: ffmpeg
    input: FFMPEG_SUPPORTED_INPUT

I know you split these two sensors, however, you didn’t provide any explanation how to use it? How to distinguish them n configuration file?
