How to turn on Sonoff switch based on CCTV human detection / motion event?

Configuration
1

Hi everyone,

I want to turn on a Sonoff smart switch (Light) whenever human motion is detected on my Prama NVR / CCTV camera in Home Assistant.

Could someone guide me on the best way to trigger a light based on camera motion events or share a sample YAML code/automation logic for this setup?

Thanks!

Add a trigger, select the light turning on as your target.
The best way to learn is to just try. Run thru the docs on getting started with the automation editor. If you get stuck, come back with what you have done.
