Home and away voice control..

[Jo46]

Hi. Wondering if anyone has had any success in setting up camera so you can voice control when it turns on.  We want to only turn on camera when kids leave house.  They don't have phones so can't use home and away function.  Thanks in advance.

Hi Jo46,

Thanks for reaching out! I understand you're looking for an alternative to using location to determine when your kids are home. I'm happy to assist you.

I apologize but, your Google Nest cameras primarily rely on location to accurately determine whether you're home or away. If you have other Google Nest products that utilize the Home/Away setting, your camera won't automatically switch off if they detect activity. This is because they can't distinguish between your presence and someone else's. This is for security reasons.

I recommend visiting How Nest cameras automatically switch to Home or Away to learn more about how the Home/Away feature works with your Google Nest Cameras.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,

Manuel
