In the Official Doc’s App Reference (link) it says that the alarm_motion
capability both “supports” insights
and is gettable
.
Meanwhile, there is no “motion alarm” option available in the Insights UI. Looking into fetching them somehow through the API returns only the most recent 50 “events” for a device’s capability. While trying to work around this using the other available “resolutions”/time period selections return a 500 response stating that boolean_with_resolution_not_allowed
.
Is there indeed a limit of how far back motion alarms are stored (if so, is there are reason for it?), or can it be fetched by other means?
Based on this post in the old forums (link), it might seem that at least downloading longer periods of motion alarms was possible back in 2018?
I see that there was a request for the same in 2019 (link removed due to limitation in the forums…) perhaps, with some proposed workarounds - but wouldn’t it be best if it indeed was made available through the insights?
This chart below is not that interesting as it only has the latest 50 “state changes” but could be across longer periods of time.
