AI camera analysis - Requires both "Camera" and "Motion Sensor"?

[lone pivot]

Hi all, I'm hoping you can help me understand why I'm getting an error when I try to Save an automation from the "AI camera analysis" blueprint: "Message malformed: Missing input motion_entity". Oddly enough, all of the cameras have some form of motion detection in their own way but none are considered "motion sensor" entities.

This error would suggest to me that I need both a camera and a motion sensor, but I really would think the camera would be that with. Do I need to create a separate helper to define the camera's motion detection? I can figure this stuff out but just need some guidance. Even some guidance on what to google would help.

Did you check if it's somehow a disabled entity on that device?

I assume you are referring to this one

The motion sensor is the trigger of the automation, it is required to provide it for the automation to work
