Invert and Minimal option for Significant Motion event

Currently the Significant Motion event works fine, but the problem is that there is no way to trigger anything when such motion has stopped or reduced.

There could two sub-options for the event:

1. Minimal - reduced thresholds (to trigger slight movements)

2. Inverted - No motion is detected (whether significant or minimal)

I don't think you can invert significant motion as it's a one shot event to determine moving locations so as to kick in the main location algorithms. Detecting movement/user presence as mentioned in my link, would be useful if there is a low level, battery friendly API or something Tasker can hook into.

Copy/pasting my reply from Reddit as well:

Significant motion event works for me when I pick the phone or tilt it fast and much or slide my arm from one end of my body to another, all while I'm sitting in one place. I know, even I thought it was 'significant', but turns out it isn't. Hence, the invert/minimal contexts. My logic was, if, for example, significant motion triggers when I tilt the phone beyond (hypothetically) 30 degrees, then an insignificant (minimal) motion would be a smaller change in degree or space; and no motion could be 0 to say 5% change from the previous degree(s) or space.
