It has taken 5 sensors in a #HomeAssistant automation to detect Amazon drivers dumping parcels.

Driveway detects motion

Porch detects motion (and driveway is active)

Door not open

Doorbell not rang

Letterbox not opened

Then there's an Amazon parcel, or a cat has crossed both motion sensors.

I could run POE ethernet, install a camera, install and learn a person detecting camera container app to rule out the cat but it hasn't happened yet and that would be a whole extra project and expense.

@codechimp some people just appreciate the excuse to buy that stuff and build that extra case.

@mweiss Maybe there'll be a limit on how many cat triggers I get before doing it 😀

The buying stuff and playing is fine, it's the really horrible ethernet run that's putting me off for now.
