Sighthound	Detect people with Sighthound Cloud.	Image Processing	0.105	Cloud Polling	@robmarkcole	sighthound

Detect people in camera images using Sighthound Cloud. The Sighthound Developer tier (free for non-commercial use) allows 5000 images to be processed per month. If you need more processing per month you will need to sign up for a production account (i.e., a Basic or Pro account).

This integration adds an image processing entity where the state of the entity is the number of people detected in an image. For each person detected, an sighthound.person_detected event is fired. The event data includes the entity_id of the image processing entity firing the event, and the bounding box around the detected person.

If save_file_folder is configured, on each new detection of a person, an annotated image with the name sighthound_{camera_name}_latest.jpg is saved in the configured folder if it doesn't already exist, and overwritten if it does exist. The saved image shows the bounding box around detected people and can be displayed on the Home Assistant front end using a Local File camera, and used in notifications. If save_timestamped_file is configured as true, then the annotated image is saved with a file name that includes the time of detection.

Note that by default the component will not automatically scan images, but requires you to call the image_processing.scan service, e.g., using an automation triggered by motion.

Configuration
