Add motion detection sensor support for Imou Cruiser 2

[Guido117]

Thank you for the amazing work on the Imou-Home-Assistant integration! I am currently using the Imou Cruiser 2 camera with this integration and would like to request a feature enhancement. Specifically, I would like to have a motion detection sensor exposed in Home Assistant. This would enable the integration to trigger automations based on motion detected by the camera.

Expected Behavior:

A motion sensor entity should be available for the Imou Cruiser 2 camera.
The sensor should toggle between on and off states depending on whether motion is detected.
If any testing or additional information is needed, I am happy to assist.

Thank you for considering this feature request!

Hello, currently we support motion detection switch, which can be used to determine whether the camera needs to trigger alarms and record videos. I'm not sure if you're referring to this switch.If your device does not display this switch, you can provide the device serial number and we will investigate the cause.

No, that button only activates or deactivates motion detection. What I would like is a motion detection sensor integrated into Home Assistant that I can use when something (a person) is detected and be able to do integrations with it (turn on lights, etc.) like when you get a notification on the Imou app. Thanks.

I guess you want to receive and process motion detection messages from camera devices on HA, but currently this is not possible. Our integration is currently developed based on the capabilities provided by iMou Open Platform, and device messages can only be pushed to the callback address configured by the developer through the HTTP protocol, and cannot be directly received in HA.
