PersonDetection Event and eventData

dougpierce — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 04:57:55 GMT

I'm attempting to create a starter in automation for PersonDetection. Unfortunately, the cameras think they see a person a lot, but it's incorrect. Therefore, I'm trying to identify if the person has been "seen" for more than 5 seconds and if so, send a notification. The part that I am struggling with is what "eventData" represents in this event. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be and cannot find any documentation to figure this out. Please help me with a link or something pointing to where this information is as it's not on the help page for that event.

starters: - type: device.event.PersonDetection # A person has been detected by the camera. device: Back Room camera - Back Room eventData: ??? greaterThanOrEqualTo: 5 seconds

same issue by trying to count the number of person detected

starters: - type: device.event.PersonDetection # A person has been detected by the camera. device: Office - Office eventData: count greaterThanOrEqualTo: 2

the validation system answer :

La combinaison de champs optionnels de la struct n'est pas éligible.
[count] n'est pas un champ avec état valide pour [PersonDetectionEvent]. Liste des chemins d'accès valides : [].

@nickfromgoogle could we have items of the eventData struct (FieldPath) ?
