topic Clicking a doorbell notification on iOS should take you to a screen and turn on Camera. in Cameras and Doorbells

Clicking a doorbell notification on iOS should take you to a screen and turn on Camera.

I use the doorbell with the camera off to save battery and avoid excess notifications.

When someone rings my doorbell: I get a notification, I click the notification, the Google Home app loads, I’m taken to a screen that shows the battery and the camera is off.

This isn’t helpful at all.

When I get a notification and I click it on my iOS device, I want the Google Home app to take me to a screen where the camera is on, recording, the mic button is present, and my quick responses are available. Then when I leave that screen or close the app, turn off the camera in the minute or so and return the starting state.
