Hi  
I’ve just been experimenting with using old phones as cameras using the ewelink camera app.  
Nice idea.  
However, the only available triggers when setting up scenes are based on battery levels.  
The Camera app does include motion sensing. Why cant we use that for triggering a scene?

Hey

Glad you like it. But sadly there’s no plan for such a feature.

That seems strange!  
More so because the PC keyboard application does receive motion detection notifications. So clearly they are being pushed to you servers.
