 `relative` steps with optional delays between each step. Manually configured

+When PTZ actions are manually set in the config, they will replace the
+auto-detected actions. For example if `actions_left` is set for a Frigate
+camera, it will be used for all `left` PTZ actions even though Frigate cameras
+natively support continuous actions (`actions_left_start`, `actions_left_stop`).

 ?> Frigate auto-detected PTZ actions will always be `continuous` as this is what
 the integration currently offers.
