Triggering motion zones using admin http commands, not working how i thought they would?

[mike392]

I'm currently trying to externally trigger my cameras to record alerts and sort the clips to their respective Zone A and Zone B folders.
Current set up:
Frigate > Home Assistant > ...
when HA Frigate integration sensor detects occupancy in frigate zone A...
send REST command to blue iris -- seen below from my home assistant config.

Currently works flawlessly, except none of the clips are saved into their zone folders (views?), just Alerts.



As per BI's documentation, if im understanding correctly, the &zones=1 should be doing what I'm saying it should be?

/admin?camera=x&trigger=1&zones=z Trigger camera or group x (short name) as a Motion source. Zone bits z are combined powers of 2 … the zone A value is 1, zone B is 2, zone C is 4 … zone H is 128
