Home[censored]istant: Any PTZ motion state ?

[acanicio_729093081293029]

Dear forum,

I use Homeassistant.
I have two reolink E1 Outdoor cameras.
Each time I use the camera's PTZ actions (changing position), the camera slowly loses calibration.
It takes about 20 ptz actions on the camera to have it lose it's calibration. The guard position drifts up to about 90° of it's original position.
This means that I have to recalibrate the camera very often, sometimes 10 to 15 times a day.

In Homeassistant I want to create a counter that is increased every time the camera moves (i.e. from a ptz command or a tracking command).
Therefore I need to detect these camera actions.
In Homeassistant I looked for an entity that returns the 'motion' (ptz) state of the camera, something like "still" or "moving".
Each time the state sets to "moving", the automation will increase the counter.
Every time the counter adds up to 20, another automation sends a "recalibrate" command to the camera and returns it back to it's guard position.

Is there any way to integrate this ?

Thank you for your advice.
Sincerely
Axel

@acanicio_729093081293029 I am not aware of a y counter you can read. Check the API documentation.
