Hi Ugo,
Could you stop motion and restart it an hour later from a shell script?
Pseudo code:
while true; do
?if test -s /some/trigger/file; then
? sudo killall motion
? sleep 1h
? rm /some/trigger/file;
? sudo motion
?fi
done
the /some/trigger/file can be created with the on_event_start option in
motion.conf
Kind regards,
Ed

Hi Ed
I figured it would take some code.
Unfortunately I am not able to create a script that implements the
indicated pseudo-code.
I have minimal experience with sh scripts but I don't think I can write one
that is so (for me) complex.
Incidentally: It seems strange to me that such a feature is not implemented
by default in motion.
Can I have your help?
Thank you very much.
