MQTT camera_name/motion vs camera_name/motion/state

[T3chArmy]

I noticed there are 2 entries for MQTT for motion. Could someone explain the differences between camera_name/motion ON/OFF value vs camera_name/motion/state value?

is one if motion detection is on, and the other is motion detected? or is this a bug?

Lines for reference:

frigate/frigate/comms/mqtt.py

Lines 56 to 60 in ebef38e

	self.publish(
	f"{camera_name}/motion/state",
	"ON",
	retain=True,
	)

frigate/frigate/comms/mqtt.py

Lines 76 to 80 in ebef38e

	self.publish(
	f"{camera_name}/motion",
	"OFF",
	retain=False,
	)

This is covered in the MQTT docs, one is a switch to enable or disable motion detection and the other is a motion detector.

Sigh.. I looked right over that.

Thanks for taking the time to answer!
