script editor nest cam person detection only in zones

hallivaeh — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 20:09:26 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to use a person detection as a trigger but I want to have a person detection only in the pre determined activity zones. Is there anyway to add the zones detection as a condition to the automation?

Is there documentation for Nest devices?

It also appears that person detection automations are not available for the Nest Hello doorbell.

Definitely need this. Same problem and here I am putting tape on the camera to mark off the desired activity zone since I can't find a script reference for activity zones.

Same here my camera picks up the road so a vehicle motion event is non stop. I want to just have the driveway tell my speaker that a car is moving in the driveway for safety.

One workaround if you only have one zone is to define Zone 1 to be where you don't want any events, and then use the "Outsize of zone" for the zone where you do want events. This seems to work with the Automations script.

@Dale17would you be so kind to provide a script example for that? I can't figure out how to add zone logic at all.

Any updates on scripts for identifying and actioning on activity in specific zones?

Hello,

Do you have the associated script, please?

At least the line where you specify the out-of-range zone?

Thank you
