Motioneye: Feature request: PIR sensor

[toshibochan]

Is possible to add option to use PIR senso instead of motion on video?

Not yet.

@ccrisan thanks for great work. Be great if can add PIR sensor. I made video doorbell using raspberry and Linphone python. I love to add motion sensor recording. But i don’t want use video motion because the trees moving in the wind.
Thanks

@toshibochan A python script that monitors the GPIO state and triggers recording will do the job. Something like this: https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/issues/842#issuecomment-414375686

I also would like to use PIR to trigger due to moving trees and wind. I’m not able to figure out how to activate the camera for a still or video with a python script. Any help would be appreciated. I should probably be using motion rather than motioneye. Having said that, I still need the python script to trigger the photos or video. Thanks.

Ditto. Option for external trigger from PIR or camera's facial recognition would be soooo useful. Also, would reduce processor load.
