Turning off the motion detection of "Reolink Elite Flood Light"

Configuration
1

Until now, I was using a Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro. Whenever the camera detected motion in the garden, it would send a notification to my iPhone.

To avoid receiving dozens of notifications while we were sitting in the garden, I created a button on my Home Assistant dashboard that toggled switch.garden_motion_detection on and off.

Today, I replaced the Ring Floodlight Cam with a Reolink Elite Floodlight. However, after checking the entities exposed to Home Assistant, I can't find a switch entity that would allow me to disable motion detection.

Is there a way to temporarily disable motion detection on the Reolink Elite Floodlight through Home Assistant?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to turn motion detection off while we're using the garden and then re-enable it afterwards.

Stop the notifications from reolink; just use HA’s The trigger would be motion from reolink, and then with an condition you can turn on/off.

Thanks. I disabled the Reolink push notifications.
Then in Home Assistant, I created a helper called input_boolean.garden_notifications_paused so I could use it as a condition in automations. And now the following automation seems to be working:

alias: Reolink Garden Motion Notification
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.elite_floodlight_wifi_person
    to: "on"
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.elite_floodlight_wifi_animal
    to:
      - "on"
conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.garden_notifications_paused
    state: "off"
actions:
  - action: notify.family_iphones
    data:
      title: 🎥 Motion Alert
      message: Motion detected in garden

If you tweak it a bit further, you could include a snapshot :wink:
