How to setup Ring Camera for motion triggers

Third party integrations
1

Very new user to HA and I’m having trouble setting up automations utilising the motion feature on my Ring Indoor Camera. I currently have the Ring MQTT setup and working.

I’ved tried the ‘motion activated light’ blueprint and also creating a new automation for ‘motion detection’. I’ve tried this for both the standard device (through Ring integration) as well as the MQTT integration.

Not really sure where to go from here, have spent a good couple of hours testing different configurations of the above and can’t seem to get it working.

Any pointers for a total newbie are much appreciated!
