Hey yall! I'm very new here - currently trying to figure out how to set up multiple motion detector sensors (from motionEye). Currently I have this in my configuration.yaml file:
template:
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: motioneye.motion_detected
event_data:
device_id: dbdca3e09336cba0076004d195e04069
binary_sensor:
- name: "Webcam Motion Detected"
auto_off: 5
device_class: motion
state: "true"```And that works great, but how can I add more than one? I'm assuming they both go under "template" but I tried that & it didn't seem to work. Maybe I didn't get the order right. I'll keep tinkering but any suggestions are appreciated.
Like, I tried to add my logitech camera's motion detection as well, like this:
template:
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: motioneye.motion_detected
event_data:
device_id: dbdca3e09336cba0076004d195e04069
binary_sensor:
- name: "Webcam Motion Detected"
auto_off: 5
device_class: motion
state: "true"
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: motioneye.motion_detected
event_data:
device_id: a529d56ded1c6a49a34649bc8bbbb8c3
binary_sensor:
- name: "Logitech Motion Detected"
auto_off: 5
device_class: motion
state: "true"```But it's giving me a "duplicated mapping key" error.
34 | auto_off: 5
35 | device_class: motion
36 | state: "true"
37 | trigger:
--------^
38 | - platform: event```I think i'm mainly confused by the correlation between the trigger and binary_sensor parts. How does it know that those two entries are correlated? I guess it's having trouble differentiating them when I add more than one?

...
The only differences between the two trigger & binary_sensor entries I tried to set up here are the device_id and the names
I tried this, but it treats both as one sensor:
template:
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: motioneye.motion_detected
event_data:
device_id: dbdca3e09336cba0076004d195e04069
- platform: event
event_type: motioneye.motion_detected
event_data:
device_id: a529d56ded1c6a49a34649bc8bbbb8c3
binary_sensor:
- name: "Webcam Motion Detected"
auto_off: 5
device_class: motion
state: "true"
- name: "Logitech Motion Detected"
auto_off: 5
device_class: motion
state: "true"```And it's telling me not to do this. (have two "template" mapping keys)
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: motioneye.motion_detected
event_data:
device_id: dbdca3e09336cba0076004d195e04069
binary_sensor:
- name: "Webcam Motion Detected"
auto_off: 5
device_class: motion
state: "true"
template:
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: motioneye.motion_detected
event_data:
device_id: a529d56ded1c6a49a34649bc8bbbb8c3
binary_sensor:
- name: "Logitech Motion Detected"
auto_off: 5
device_class: motion
state: "true"```

There are some nice examples in the docs

Like this one?
template:
# Define state-based template entities
- sensor:
...
- binary_sensor:
...
# Define trigger-based template entities
- trigger:

binary_sensor:
...```Your initial problem is that you're not providing a list. Start by putting ' - ' before trigger
Yes, right. Doesn't look like yours

Ohh ok! I'll give that a try

None of your trigger: lines start with -

WOOO!!! That worked! Thank you :)
