Hello this is my first post on this forum.
I installed home-assistant core (2020.12.0) on a Ubuntu 20.04 Proxmox container. It works. I am amazed since then of all the possibilities of HA what an great piece of software.
I created my first simple automation after the first week fiddling around in HA and it even works haha I never thought i would pickup this level already this fast.
Now i have kind of impossible thing i want to try, maybe someone can help.
I have a Hikvision camera hooked up to HA i also have a Philips HUE lighting systeem hooked up with several in and outdoor motion sensors.
Since my Hikvision outdoor camera does not have a PIR sensor and my HUE outdoor sensor does have PIR i figured maybe i can use the HUE motion sensor to start the Camera to start to record.
I added a guest user with right to view live stream and the right to start a remote record.
What is the next step? How do i make HA to start a record after motion is detected. In HA i see the HUE motion detections that part works. The camera is also hooked up alright because i see the camera VCA detections also. The camera records onto a 64gb sd card inside the camera.
The hikvision camera detects motion based on what happens in the view specialy at night it doesn;t pick up motion that well. The HUE motion sensor works a lot better in the dark so it would be great if i could use the HUE motion detection to start the camera to record.
Thank you for reading.
