Person Detection / People Detection sensors(i.e. AI Camera Person Detections) to trigger alarm?

[Hedda]

Can you add sensors for Person Detection as a sensor that can trigger alarm?

I have UniFi Protect (Ubiquiti's Camera Security System) and their AI Security Cameras (as well as their "AI Port") enable "Recognitions" features that include with Person Detection events that are exposed as entities in its integration for Home Assistant.

Person Detection recognition there basically act similar to a motion sensor but instead of "clear" the state is "On" when a person is detected and "Off" when a person is not detected.

The benefit of Person Detection for those systems is that it is less likley to give a false possitive compared to the motion sensor for the same Security Cameras (which will activate motion and trigger the alarm when a cat goes by).

Proposal

Add "Person detected" sensors to Alarmo.

Additional info

If possible make "Person detected" sensors function just like how motion sensors functions in Alarmo.

Assuming the entity you are referring to is a binary_sensor, it can already be configured as a sensor in alarmo.
Any binary_sensor is supported in alarmo.
Note that by default not all entities are showing up, you can click the “X items are hidden” banner to un-filter these.

I am using exactly that approach to detect people on my property.
As Niels is pointing, maybe it is just hidden in Alarmo.

Be aware, that those sensors like to have a fals positiv for a short moment, that was the biggest issue i had.
So adding a delay of 0.5 seconds helped me to overcome that problem:
template:

• binary_sensor:
  • name: "Kamera 1 Person Delay"
    delay_on:
    seconds: 0.5
    state: >
    {{ states('binary_sensor.kamera_1_person') }}

Maybe a shorter delay would also work but for me it fells ok.

Would be nice if could set a delay in the UI directly under advanced settings for such devices.
