I would like to turn on additional lights when motion is detected from my ring doorbell or outside lights,
Possible?
Thanks.
I have a Hikvision doorbell cam. It has a motion sensor that I use for precisely this.
Does the ring have a motion sensor?
Here is my automation for turning on my front porch lights if motion is detected.
alias: Lights-Turn On Front Porch Light When Front Door Cam Detects Motion
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- binary_sensor.ds_hd1_motion_alarm
from: "off"
to: "on"
condition:
action:
- service: switch.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.front_porch
mode: single
I have some conditions as well that I left out that insure the light is only turned on when it is normally off as other automations make sure it is on at certain parts of the day already.
