The ffmpeg platform allows you to use every video or audio feed with FFmpeg for various sensors in Home Assistant. Available are: noise, motion. If the ffmpeg process is broken, the sensor will be unavailable. To restart the instance, use the service binary_sensor.ffmpeg_restart.

Motion
-FFmpeg doesn’t have a motion detection filter, so it uses a scene filter to detect a new scene/motion. In fact, you can set how big of an object or the size of an image that needs to change in order to detect motion. The option ‘changes’ is the percent value of change between frames. You can add a denoise filter to the video if you want a really small value for ‘changes’.
