Use motion from the Aqara doorbell to trigger events

Apple Home Connect

Hello

I was wondering if anyone is able to use the motion sensor from the Aqara doorbell to trigger an automation via a Siri shortcut?

As far as I know, the motion sensor connected via HomeKit is very sensitive to changes in light. If you want to use it to control something important, I would advise against it.

You can, use it to activate a light in the house so you know if someone is approaching, gives a nice visual warning before they actually get to the doorbell. You can do it in the Aqara app if you have any Aqara lights, or you can use other ecosystems if you are using other vendors like Govee or Hue.
