Can I get Home Assistant motion sensors updated without Actions being enabled?
The only way I can get the SecuritySpy motion sensors in the Home Assistant integration to update is to enable Actions for each camera.
Unfortunately, one of my Actions is to send the captured image email, so now have to send emails for every motion trigger, even though I really only want those in certain presets. (for example I only want motion image emails from interior cameras when motion is detected and the "alarm is armed" preset is active)
Is there anyway to get the motion event data sent to HA, even if Actions are not enabled?

I think I can get this to work with a duplicate camera.
The duplicate always triggers on motion and always has the action enabled, so it will notify HA. It's action can also trigger the main camera which always has motion capture enabled and action enabled or disabled depending if I want an email in the active preset.
Am I correct in assuming the if the original camera has no triggers, this should not add much processing over head?
I did this for awhile. It's a good work-around.
