Camera: G3 Micro
Platform: Unfi Protect v1.18.0 on Unifi Cloud Key Plus

Does anyone know if the camera reports the motion zone but HA is not passing it along?

It would be really handy to know which zone(s) where triggered, it could be used to create targeted events based on movements inside these zones.

Here is a motion event:

I opened an issue a while back and the developer looked into it. It didn’t look like Ubiquiti exposed the information at the time. Not sure if anything as changed on the Unifi side.

With all the improvements to the Protect integration over the last two years, maybe we can get some traction with the request. Per zone events. This would be event better than an Aqara FP2!
