Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:
I like to keep my cameras powered on all the time, but only turn the motion detection on/off using automation.
Right now there is no way that I can do that with this integration. All I have available is to either turn the camera on/off completely or enter the mac addresses of all my cameras and then I have a second accessory that shows up only for notifications. If I try to exclude showing cameras or exclude a specific camera via mac address it removes both accessories.

Describe the solution you'd like:
I would like to be able to control the motion detection on/off setting of my cameras while still being able to hide the camera on/off without making the motion detection on/off accessory go away.

Describe alternatives you've considered:
I tried to use the notification setting on/off option by adding the mac address of my cameras into the plugin, this caused a second set of accessories to show up so now I have double the number of cameras (one for camera on/off and one for notification on/off). I also tried to exclude just the cameras (via pre-filtered options) as well as by mac address, but that makes both accessories go away completely. So it isn't possible to have an accessory without the camera on/off accessory present.

Additional context:
tl,dr I want a way to only have one set of accessories in Homekit, and ideally that would be the motion detection on/off setting.

So the addon does work, but you dont want to see the power switch for the cameras? Can you just put them in a separate room so that they are hidden?

The addon does work, but I would like to be able to turn off motion detection instead of powering off the cameras.

Ok. I understand.
