So the cameras are great, the Google Home app is great, config is simple....but they are either on or off. With the older cameras, you could set a schedule (on at 10pm and off at 8am)...this is not an option with the battery cameras. So this means they either are on when you leave (off when you're home) - great to capture anything/anyone who shouldn't be in your home/office....or they are always on and sending alerts anytime they sense something. Having them off when you're at home defeats the purpose to my mind.
This is a horrible design because, with the cameras on, (1) you will receive the ping of death when there are multiple cameras and (2) the cameras are often sensing movement and running down the battery faster than desired. I lost 5% of battery in 12 hours in one room that was highly frequented!
I hope that Google adds the schedule feature soon...should have been a capability from the start IMHO. This also should have been something clearly communicated on the camera page but it was not.
