Camera mysteriously linked to motion sensor
Posted: Monday 28 January 2019 11:23
I have made a blockly script that triggers a camera to send a snapshot when the front door is opened. The front door has a magnetic Xiaomi sensor. This works: I get an email "front door open" with a picture.

Then I walked into my kitchen where I have a Xiaomi motion sensor and I got another email with picture from the frontdoor camera saying that the motion sensor in the Kitchen was On.
This is unexpected; I never included this motion sensor in my script. On the Domoticz dashboard the motion sensor also has a camera icon in the top right corner. Strange: I would have understood if the door sensor had this icon.

Since this is not what I wanted I deleted the motion sensor in the kitchen, resetted the thing, added it again and... There is the camera icon again.
Can anyone enlight me on what is going on here?
