Start-of-flow trigger on the motion_event capability from a UniFi Protect camera. Momentary : a camera fires an event per detection, not a sustained occupancy state, so this fires per detection. For a presence-style occupancy sensor use presence detected instead.

trigger

camera motion fires often enough that notifying on every event trains people to ignore it. Gate it: read an occupancy value with get device state, compare it, and let branch pass only the motion that happens when nobody is supposed to be there.
