Multiple push notifications when automation fires

I'm consistently getting multiple push notifications when an automation based on camera detection of a person fires. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi @soxatl,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Nest Community. I'm sorry to hear you're consistently getting multiple push notifications when your person-detection Automation fires. I'm glad to help you find a solution.

To determine the most effective troubleshooting plan, Could you please answer the following questions:

What type of Nest Camera do you have?
Were there any changes to the Wi-Fi network?
Are there other family members who can access the camera? Do they receive any notifications?
Has the camera been moved recently?
Are there any Activity Zones set up for the camera?

If you have any additional details that might be helpful, feel free to share them with me.

Regards,

Gabriela

Cameras are Nest Cam (Battery) software version nq-user 1.77
No changes to wifi network
Yes other family members can access the cameras, the notification routine is a separate routine created with the script editor, and I'm the only user who receives a notification, and the routine even includes a 5 min delay immediately after the notification to try to keep it from running again and notifying multiple times
Cameras have not been moved recently
There are two cameras - one has 1 activity zone, the other does not have any zones
