Blue Iris Motion Detection Alerts in Home Assistant. Blue Iris NVR Add-On.

Use the Blue Iris NVR add-on along with MQTT in Home Assistant to get and display motion alerts on your dashboard. You'll need HACS and MQTT installed as well. Once you have this integration running, there are so many things you can do in terms of alerting and automation of profiles (if you use those). If you would like more info on any of that, let me know and I'll consider making a follow-up video.
