So close with Unifi Protect

I am able to get motion detections via enabling SMD but we are still not receiving detections with IVS rules.

The camera send's the standard onvif alerts with IVS enabled:
  • RuleEngine/CellMotionDetector/Motion (basic motion)
  • RuleEngine/LineDetector/Crossed
  • RuleEngine/FieldDetector/Intrusion
If we could get an event linkage for IVS rules that outputs a general motion ONVIF trigger. Protect would be about 99.9% usable.
 
Someone on Reddit got it working, but it involved a workaround
Protect is crappier if you are using it for anything more than just cameras

I have a Unifi ecosystem and the mobile camera quality wildly better than blue iris. BI has a special place in my heart but if I can get protect to function with my IVS rules, I'm definitely making the switch. I will still leave BI on my server for redundancy.
