Home, Away ... and Sleeping?

Krutsch

Hello,

We have 2 of the new Nest battery doorbells and 2 of the new Nest battery outdoor cameras. We also have a Nest thermostat + sensors, and a couple of Nest Protect smoke alarms.

 

Anyway, everything is setup and working great, with both my phone and my wife's phone setup with presence detection, so when one of us is at home, the cameras turn off; when both of us are at work, the cameras/doorbells go into on/idle mode. All good!

My question: I want all the cameras/doorbells to switch to idle mode when we are sleeping.

I see that I can select Turn All Cameras On, which is useful if I wake up and want to see everything going on outside. But I don't want the cameras to turn on when sleeping... I want them to switch to idle mode and use motion detection, et al., to notify us and record if there is activity outside our home after we go to sleep.

Is there a way to manually do this? My thought was this: Google needs to add a 3rd state to 'Home'/'Away' which might be something like 'Sleeping', which would set all of the cameras into a security mode, assuming no one is gong outside and/or moving around the house.

 

Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.

I don't know if I need help, other than to know if it's possible to do what I suggest above or can this be sent onwards as a feature request. Thanks!
