AI Action trigger when a car is gone

Hi Ben,

Big compliments for the AI integration in SecuritySpy. Very nice feature. We made a Trigger Action with a "run shell command" to change a Variable into the Indigo Home Automation software when a car is detected into a garage. Works flawless! Perfect!

Do you think if it's possible to make a Trigger action again when the car is gone?

(This is also useful for monitoring a car on the street)

Maybe SecuritySpy can compare images when a car is there or not?

Thanks for listening and keep on the good work!

All the best,

John

    Hi John, many thanks for the compliments! Glad to hear this is working so well for you.

    There currently isn't a feature to initiate any kind of action when an object like a car is gone - only when its movement is detected. But, I think this would potentially be a nice idea for a future update, we'll see what we can do.

    Thanks for the feedback Ben. After more than 35 years experience we can say that good software is always improving! 👍️

    I was just searching to figure out if there was a way to accomplish something like this. Motion could be used for vehicles entering or leaving a driveway, but knowing the status of stationary vehicles detected in the driveway is also useful.

    I tie SecuritySpy in with Home Assistant, so I was thinking of these scenarios in addition to the one from the OP:

    1. No cars are present in the driveway. HA knows no one is home. HA knows the garage door is open. After a delay, HA closes the garage door.
    2. HA knows someone is home. The driveway camera shows either all expected cars present or no cars present. HA could trigger some action / scene.

    Hi @jaharmi we are thinking that this could potentially work via SecuritySpy's HomeKit implementation. You could use the HA HomeKit integration to make a HA accessory available to HomeKit (either a real accessory or a virtual switch), which SecuritySpy could then control based on the presence of absense of a vehicle in a particular camera. Is this what you are thinking? Or, is there another method of integration that you had in mind?
