Hi I came across this AI library at work. [Gesture recognition task guide  |  Google AI Edge  |  Google AI for Developers](https://ai.google.dev/edge/mediapipe/solutions/vision/gesture_recognizer) I was wondering if you could use this library to achieve the equivalent of Aqara G3 camera which has built-in hand gesture detection ? Demo of usage : [https://mediapipe-studio.webapps.google.com/demo/gesture\_recognizer](https://mediapipe-studio.webapps.google.com/demo/gesture_recognizer) I was wondering if this could be used to capture gestures via camera and get that to trigger a homey event. I was thinking if there is a Face++ App ( [Face++ App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.gruijter.facepp/Face++/) ) for homey that detects faces then why not use do something similar to capture hand gestures . Would this work ? What problems would I come across? John ---

The issue is recognising hand gestures requires monitoring motion and Homey can only capture still images at a low rate. Maybe in the future, the Homey 2023 will be able to do that, but not sure if it has the processing power to analyse it.
