[Support]: Recommended approach to enable / disable Alerts on demand in v0.14

[Mincka]

Describe the problem you are having

I would like to disable either the alerts / detections or all the review system based on conditions.

Clearly, the main issue here is that I don't want to see / review alerts when someone is at home during the day.

I already turn off the Detection on certain cameras using the MQTT switches for that.

Should I use that approach or would it be possible to have MQTT topics to globally control the review system?

I wouldn't expect anything like that in 0.14, but perhaps in a future version there can be some way to dynamically adjust when alerts are enabled so you can restrict things to detections otherwise

Yeah I'd love to see a more robust system for that as well. As it stands, I use HA to handle all my alerting. I've created a toggle card that toggles the SGTBatten script on and off, so with a push of a button I can disable an area if I'm going to be out there working. Then I have an automation that sets them all to ON when I arm the security system.
