Brad, I can't tell if you're being serious or not. I would not make a suggestion for possum facial recognition. My problem has nothing to do with facial recognition and I wasn't sure why you had offered a tip related to Familiar Faces. You didn't read the thread, and that's okay.
The problem, again, is that an animal was getting into my recycle bin, which is in clear view of the camera, the light sensor would trigger, but there was no event captured in the nest app, so I was unable to save a clip of it. It happened multiples times where we saw activity, but no event was registered. I could use my app to watch the possum, but again since it wasn't registered as an event, clips could not be saved.
To be honest, the novelty of wanting to use the features has worn off a bit. I had been excited by the floodlight, but I guess I'm over it. My experience with the different apps and features between my older Nest products; Doorbell (wired), Protect, and Thermostat that all work with the Nest app compared with the Floodlight Camera with the Google Home app is pretty significant, and from what I've read from others, I don't think I'm alone. It's too bad, I bought into an product line based on very positive experience with the older nest line/app, and really other than the brand, they're all very different products. What's truly unfortunate is that despite customers being very vocal about their displeasure, Google doesn't seem to care.
