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.
