The send_triggers configuration option needs to be placed at the camera level under the genai section, not at the global level(1).

Based on the reference configuration, the correct structure is:

cameras:
  your_camera:
    genai:
      enabled: True
      send_triggers:
        tracked_object_end: True
        after_significant_updates: None

(1)

The global genai configuration only supports basic settings like enabled, provider, api_key, model, prompt, and object_prompts(1). The send_triggers option is specifically a camera-level configuration that allows you to control when frames are sent to the generative AI service(1).
