Description

I'm trying to trigger automations based on nest cam motion, but I don't see that the camera is ever triggering a motion event in ST, despite getting a motion notification from the nest app.

Is there something special that has to be configured in order for the camera to trigger motion events in ST?

Thanks.

Research direction
Examine the issue body and comments (if any) to understand the user's environment. Review the repository's device handler files for Nest Cam, likely in 'devicetypes' directory. Look for motion capability and how events are dispatched. Since the issue is from 2017, check if newer versions have addressed this. If not, consider adding motion event support by following existing patterns in the codebase.
