HA and Frigate zones without motion sensor

Configuration
1

Dears,
I am starting to use zones in frigate and I can see them well in HA.
However I noticed that my zone objects does not have all sensors (including the motion)
The non-zone objects have all sensors

HA Garage sensors (non-zone)

HA Garage zone Sensors (many sensors missing, including the motion)

Part of frigate config

    zones:
      Garage_zone:
        inertia: 5
        coordinates: 0,0,445,0,482,205,765,345,764,0,896,0,896,512,426,512,424,406,0,412
        objects:
          - person
        filters:
          person:
            min_area: 7500
            max_area: 85000
            min_score: 0.7
            threshold: 0.75
        motion: #ola          
          threshold: 20
          lightning_threshold: 0.8
          contour_area: 10
          frame_alpha: 0.01
          mqtt_off_delay: 10
          improve_contrast: True
        record:
          enabled: true
          events:
            retain:
              default: 14
              mode: active_objects #all = 24/7, motion = when there is motion, active_objects = verified detected objects

Everything else is working fine, I have no problems. But I really would like to have a trigger only when there are motion inside the zones.

Thanks,

This is working as expected. Motion detection is only there to initiate object detection in frigate. It is not designed to be accurate enough to belong to a certain zone

Thanks for the explanation

How can I then trigger an action based on motion in zone1 instead of zone2?
And the same when is reversed. How can I trigger an action based on motion in zone2 instead of zone1?

Considering that zone1 and zone2 are in the same camera

Or we can even go further and have a camera with 3 or 4 different zones and i would like to trigger different actions only when there is a motion in their respective zone?

Motion in zone1 triggers action1
Motion in zone2 triggers action2
…

Maybe its not possible :disappointed:

Many thanks,

You don’t use sensors, you use the MQTT /events topic

is it asking too much if you give me a quick example?

I am not exactly sure I follow what you mean.

Thanks,

Thank you.
I will have a look
