The `zoneminder` sensor platform lets you monitor the current state of your [ZoneMinder](https://www.zoneminder.com) install including the number of events, the current state of the cameras and ZoneMinder's current run state.

You must have the [ZoneMinder component](/components/zoneminder/) configured to use this sensor.
