I'm trying to figure out ANY possible way to turn a nest camera on or off.
-Google routine trigger options, no combination of device status change(virtual or physical button, light, for sensor or any device through smartthings, nothing) can be used as a starter for camera status change. Only time schedules can.
-IFTTT doesn't have a "then" that can change status of nest camera. So flic or other third party options won't work.
-smartthings can't change status of nest camera.
I'm at my wit's end. I've tried everything.
Need the option to quickly temporarily turn off a camera for a short period. Surely there is a way to do this rather than manually go to camera and turn off and back on every time.

They are security cameras so are designed to be always on. There isn't a way, that I'm aware of at least, to turn them on or off.
