| Google Nest | Works Cloud | Broken in Home Motion/doorbell events can't be exposed to HomeKit camera as binary sensors | Camera support via SDM API; motion and doorbell are events, not sensorsSaved copyThe problem The HomeKit integration has had support for camera motion sensors as well as doorbells through binary sensors. The Nest integration (through SDM) has just added support for motion sensors and doorbell in 1.0.0. The implementation of the Nest SDM sensors was instead through device events. Due to this there does not appear to be a way to implement these sensors with the camera in HomeKit. ## Environment - Home Assistant Core release with the issue: 1.0.0b0 - Last working Home Assistant Core release (if known): N/A - Operating environment (OS/Container/Supervised/Core): HassOS … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #43882 · 2020-12 |
