is it possible to have multiple simultaneous alerts

Post by dualarrow »

I am trying to setup BI so that I have a day and night profile (they work well already) for recording triggers, but I also want multiple MQTT triggers that are not the same as the recording triggers on the same camera.

I'm trying to get multiple specific detection's on each camera.

eg, for recording I have a camera that covers the driveway, front yard and the street. For recording, I want activity on most of these areas, but for the MQTT (being sent to HASS) I only want to trigger from the driveway and ignore the front yard and street. I'd also like a separate trigger for the front yard. This would allow me to distinguish the 2 separate locations on the same camera.

I have tried setting the MQTT triggers in profiles 6 and 7, but the profiles only have one active at a time (I was hoping that in the Alerts/Action/On Alert the would be independent of the active profile) so when I place alerts based on different profiles, I don't see any as the profile is either a day or night profile which doesn't include the MQTT profiles.

Have I missed something or is this simply not possible ?

Clone the camera, and have the clone detect & alert seperately.
