Hi, I've got a very stable ZM setup but there's one thing I want to change.

I have email on motion detection and it works well, but I'm after a filter that reads of run state, so that I could have a "Mocord Email" and "Mocord NoEmail" state.

This would allow the filter to determine the run state and just continue to record and motion detect, but stop spamming my email when I get home.

I can't find anything in the filters that can determine the current run state.

I'm happy for ZM to record the family around the house but I don't need emails about it.

Does anyone have any creative solutions to this?

Ha, I have run into this same problem but never considered a "run state" filter to work around it. But I feel your pain: I set the cameras to Mocord when we leave for vacation or whatever (Vacation run state) then forget to switch back to Normal when we get home so I have all sorts of events of us unpacking, walking around the house, etc. until I remember to switch the run state again.
