@Undertaker @Ollem Can you share some screenshots of motion settings? That means entity attributes from HA developer tools. And perhaps some examples how motion alert is enabled/disabled (switch entities or camera attributes?) and how motion is shown (binary sensor or camera attribute). Thanks šŸ‘ ---

Reolink I installed the camera with your app in Homey. Then I added the binary sensors to the created device using Repair Device: binary\_sensor.hauser\_motion binary\_sensor.hauser\_pet binary\_sensor.hauser\_person The recognition and differentiation between thing, person and animal works very reliably. ![Screenshot_20230713-170238_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/e/3e67aee299e7fa18b8341175a7950d0c0661e2d4.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20230713-171021_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/a/0a510f36c52294fda86a9568b8b4d0f7b6bc213f.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20230713-171030_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/2/22be247e953308e15bc5a792c2540a82aa904e94.jpeg) For the Insar cameras, I havenā€™t had time to fully integrate them yet. ---

Thanks guys. So itā€™s like for most devices that the additional data is implemented as standalone sensors and switches. So I would say the camera is what it is - just a snapshot viewer šŸ™‚ ---

Hi i am noob ā˜ŗ I canā€™t get the presence state to work. I have my home called Hemma and i want to use the state to activate a switch when iam home or not. I use it in flows but i cant get it to trigger even if use home/not\_home or Hemma. If I am home and in the flow ive selected presence state is home it is saying iam not. I hope someone could explain how i should use this. I use my iPhone to track the state ---

Hi Danne. Can you reach HA from internet? (NabuCasa, DuckDNS etc.) Otherwise your phone canā€™t report the not-at-home location data. ---

If itā€™s a presence entity in HA, you should be able to add it as presence device. ![Screenshot_20230716_154132_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/9/b9380cbbf4761bb5391f57cc0d7b72ff6504b0c9.jpeg) Then you can use the trigger, Peter suggested. If the HA entity is a sensor entity, you can try to add it as sensor device. Please check, which domain is used in your entity id. ---

I have to check the presence state condition card what is used. But you can use the triggers for presence on/off and the condition card for active presence alarm instead. Thatā€™s based on the alarm capability of your Homey device and not based on entity states. ![Screenshot_20230716_163534_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/4/34bf510a8f297ee709c425bbdc164507685fcc6e.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20230716_163625_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/4/14af7b429219f0b5781358badf228c5c381bd34f.jpeg) There are 2 capabilities in the device. ![Screenshot_20230716_165519_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/2/52b2385e82604690b3c1678947223925409ce687.jpeg) 1st: the alarm capabilitiy (where the trigger/condition above belongs to) 2nd: the state (the entity state from HA). Thats a text value. But it can be that a capability is changed in the app, the trigger is fired and your flow is started while the second capability is not updated yet. So using ā€œpresence state changedā€ and ā€œpresence state isā€ should be ok. But I still suggest to use the alarm trigger and alarm cindition because it doesnā€™t need to set a text value and is easier to use in flows. ---

Hi Ronny. Is it possible to make the camera entity available in a compound device? Or the other way around, like adding all entities for a compound device to the camera device. ---

I started using Home Assistant about a week ago and this app has been a godsend. Itā€™s opened up a world of options. Thank you for all your amazing work! I do have one question. Iā€™m awaiting the installation of some A/C units (coming mid August) and Iā€™m playing around with one of the wifi dongles until then (MHI-AC-Ctrl, a hacked solution that makes it possible to overwrite the internal temperature sensor). I got the dongle connected to Home Assistant and imported into Homey as a Climate device, but the ā€œSet value number of capability \_\_\_ to \_\_\_\_ā€ flow card doesnā€™t seem to be working for me. I can neither select nor type in a capability. I tried both target\_temperature and measure\_temperature, both of which are listed in Homey Developer Tools as capabilities, but when I hit enter nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? Should I just be patient and wait to experiment until the actual A/C units arrive? šŸ˜¬ ---
