Action order and Delay
Order matters when an action takes time. A notification that takes one second delays every action after it by that amount.
Insert a Delay between actions to space them out. Example: play a warning, wait, then cut power.
Photos attached to actions
Actions that attach a photo (push, email, Telegram, logging) share one photo per event. The photo is taken once when the rule runs and every action attaches it, so the photo on your phone and the one in the log always match.
If the rule watches several cameras, choose which camera's photo to use in the action settings.
