Logitech Circle Motion Alerts DESPITE setting up Home to only alert on specific motion (people, animals, vehicles, packages)

I have a mixture of various Logitech Circle View cameras. They are all running the latest firmware from Logitech, and I my Homekit hubs are also current from Apple.


I am having a very nagging problem that I see repeated elsewhere in the Communities area of this site, and also on Reddit and other sites.


Inside the Home App on my iPhone, I have each camera set up with Activity Zones, and under the "Notifications" area for each camera, I set "Activity Notifications" to alert when specific Motion is Detected, I then set the "people, animal, package, vehicle" flags as the activities I would like to be notified for,.


It does not work. I get alerts for all of these -- vehicles, packages, people and animals -- but I am also bombarded with alerts for ANY motion. It's snowing this morning - constantly getting alerts as snowflakes pass in front of the camera. It's also windy -- leaves blogging are triggering as well.


I see others posting that they are having similar issues with cameras other than Logitech.


Is this a potential bug in the Home application?


I would expect that by specifying I only want to be alerted to SPECIFIC motion (people, animals, vehicles, packages), I would NOT get general motion alerts. I do not.


I've just turned off all alerts, because as-is, this is useless.


Anyone else experiencing this with Logitech HomeKit cameras or even other cameras?


Thanks
