    value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('camera.frontdoor', 'email_enabled', true) }}"
    turn_on:
      service: camera.enable_email
      data:
        entity_id: camera.frontdoor
    turn_off:
      service: camera.disable_email
      data:
        entity_id: camera.frontdoor
    icon_template: >-
      {% if is_state_attr('camera.frontdoor', 'email_enabled', true) %}
        mdi:email
      {% else %}
        mdi:email-outline

      data:
        entity_id: camera.frontdoor
    turn_off:
      service: camera.disable_ftp
      data:
        entity_id: camera.frontdoor
    icon_template: >-
      {% if is_state_attr('camera.frontdoor', 'ftp_enabled', true) %}
        mdi:filmstrip
      {% else %}
        mdi:filmstrip-off
      {% endif %}
      
  camera_frontdoor_ir_lights:
    value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('camera.frontdoor', 'ir_lights_enabled', true) }}"
    turn_on:
      service: camera.enable_ir_lights
      data:
        entity_id: camera.frontdoor
    turn_off:
      service: camera.disable_ir_lights
      data:
        entity_id: camera.frontdoor
    icon_template: >-
      {% if is_state_attr('camera.frontdoor', 'ir_lights_enabled', true) %}
