  Home Assistant Blueprint to run commands when motion is detected.

  Here's a Youtube video showing how it works.

  Find this button in the lower-right of the Blueprints tab to import the blueprint:

  This is the blueprint address:

  I picked my camera's motion sensor, and the HA switch for my "DS Logger" command under "Choose entity" and now I get a log entry each time motion is detected because it triggers my logger script.

  I also made these simpler general purpose blueprints you can use with any entity that turns on or off, not just motion sensors. You'll need both of you want to run the off command when the run when you turn the entity off, and the normal command when you turn it on.

  @Greg-Larsen Correct. They are optional should someone want to just use the triggercmd site to set off their actions but absolutely needed for Alexa/Google integration. 👍🏻

  @Rafael-Estevam, what you say to Alexa will make more sense if you make the Voice field just computer instead of turn off computer.

  The formula is, "Alexa, turn on/off [voice word]."

  That's assuming you're using the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill.

  In this example, I can say

  "Alexa, turn on calculator." to open it.
  "Alexa, turn off calculator." to close it.

  Thanks @metablast.

  I've been thinking about how I could allow other parameters. Would you want to create an HA automation that triggers the command, and do you want the properties of the device that triggered the automation to be selectable as command parameters? I think I could build a way to do that.
