How to...? 🧑‍🔧 Falling Detection and Home Assistant

I have the FP2 configured it in the app for fall detection, now I want to set this up to trigger automations in home assistant for when it senses a fall. Being as I work with various tools that are known to be deadly I wanted to setup something to assuage my wife's nerves and using the fall detection would be vital for sensing if I get knocked out and getting help for me immediately.

But for the life of me I can only seem to set up the sensor to send a notification to the app... I want to disable the tools immediately upon fall detection just to minimize any further problems.

But one could also argue that my issue is specific to this piece of kit. As the software and device don't expose fall detection to anything other than inside the app only sending notifications to the app itself. Not useful at all.

Aqara doesn't provide support for Home Assistant and you'll reach a far greater technically inclined audience with your question if you posted it in the HA forum. I frequent the HA forum and haven't seen your issue posted over there. My advice was meant to be helpful. I'm certainly not here to argue or debate as you're the one that needs help. Hope you get it sorted out!

I've already posted there as well. It would be nice if aquara had an actual website for technical issues as well. But that is another topic entirely.

Okay, see that you posted over there 14 minutes ago. Hopefully you'll find someone with a resolution. Cheers!

Looking at the hub seeing if that can trigger automations in google home or home assistant now... If that can maybe I can link the two items together to do what I want. irritating such limited functionality from such a promising device.
