Given a camera named `Front Yard` then the camera is created with a name such as `camera.front_yard`.
## Event
All doorbells and cameras support event entities. See the [Event](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/event/) integration documentation for more about how to use event entities in automations.
There are two classes of event entities that are available based on the above camera features:
- `motion` for cameras that support any of the event types `camera_motion`, `camera_person`, or `camera_sound`
- `doorbell` for all cameras that are doorbells and support `doorbell_chime` events
Nest event entities do not yet expose media for use in attachments.
## Device Triggers
## Automation and device triggers
The Nest integration provides [device triggers](/docs/automation/trigger/#device-triggers) to enable automation in Home Assistant. You should review the [Automating Home Assistant](/getting-started/automation/) getting started guide on automations or the [Automation](/docs/automation/) documentation for full details.
