Nest Camera Notification Schedule

KCS

Does Google have any plans to allow push notifications to be scheduled for the Nest Cameras via the Home app?  It is useless to have notifications pushed when we do not want them.  People end up turning them off and not getting them when they are needed.  I have multiple cameras but this missing feature will prevent me from getting more cameras and defineitely would not recommend them to friends.  It seems like such a logical capability to build in the app that there must be an intentional reason Google chose not to incorporate it.  I would love to get some feedback from Google on the question.

This is one of the most requested features but google is deaf to this ask. And it really wouldn't be that hard to allow some schedule customization, introduce different priorities/categorization for different detection types and/or zones or to allow enabling/disabling notifications through automations so the notifications could be suppressed based on other devices (i.e. like if the door is unlocked from inside first) . Sadly most likely none of this will ever happen.

I'm receiving dozens of totally useless notifications every day as well.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out here in the community!

I appreciate you taking the time to share your interest in having the option to schedule the notifications for the Nest cameras in the Google Home app. I understand how inconvenient it is to deactivate the notifications when you don’t want to receive them and then not be able to receive the notifications when they are needed.

For now, this option is not currently available. I understand the value of this feature, which allows you to personalize your Nest camera alerts and choose which notifications are most important to you, as well as when you receive them. In the meantime, I deeply appreciate you sharing your feedback to continue improving our products and meeting your needs.

Keep me posted.

 

Best regards,

Jenniffer
