Google Nest Camera "motion detection" not firing?

1

I have the following automation:

- id: motion_detection_porch_night
  alias: Motion Detection @Patio (Night)
  trigger:
  - platform: device
    device_id: c7d422e90fafb2eca238572b856078fc
    domain: nest
    type: camera_motion
  action:
  - service: script.motion_detection_night
    data:
      entity_id: light.light_switch_patio_light

The automation fires when it detects movement on my camera, and fires off a script. However, motion detection never seems to activate. Am I doing this wrong?

Joining here as well - it doesn’t seem like the google cameras are able to trigger automations in home assistant.

I’ve tested on a camera that’s plugged in as well so it’s not just a battery state thing.
