Hi @shahzadgodil ,

I investigated this issue and found out why it doesn’t work.
The problem is that the “value” sent by Tuya for that status code is a very long string (>750 characters), but our limit for string values is 250 characters.
Since it would be better to have part of the value than nothing, I will implement a fix that will truncate whatever comes to 250 characters max.
Will let you know when it’s online!

Hi @shahzadgodil ,
this is now fixed and it should automatically cap the overly long message to be acceptable for Apilio.
Please try again

I think the alarm message wasn’t triggered in the last couple of days. Can you try to trigger it?

I think I haven’t understood your problem correctly.
I thought you did not receive data (which is now fixed), but the other issue is that you cannot select it as device attribute in the condition.
That is so because it has a new data type “raw” that we haven’t seen before and we need to build support for it first.

Hello,

How long will it take to complete support

Thanks

Depends a bit how easy it is to implement. I will let you know once I know how difficult it is.

The main problem is that the camera devices seem not to provide a proper event based data point over the public API we use.
Using the motion picture as a workaround could work, but not guaranteed. It needs some code changes on our side to try it out and it might still fail. So for now I cannot promise that we can provide a solution.

Hi team, any workaround how can we catch the motion detection for tuya based security cameras?

[pebneter]

One (a bit crazy) workaround is to have a physical smart socket, which you trigger on/off based on camera motion within the Tuya app.
Then use the smart socket state in Apilio for further logic.

If there is any other app that can see the signal and that can do webhooks, that would also be possible.
