Schedule and Home & Away

[JoostVDL]

Back in the days when using solely the Nest app I could combine a schedule and home/away.y objective us to have my cam respond to home/away, BUT to have it always on between midnight and 7am regardless of home/away.

I did this by enabling home/away and at the same time set a schedule that switches the cam off for 1 minute every hour between midnight and 7am.

For some reason this no longer works.

I realt want to have my cams on during the night (to be sure to catch any burglary) but not be recorded myself during the day.

Other camera solutions support these use-cases that are (at least to me) logical.

Would it ne possible to trigger manual on/of switching and home/away from an external service (I do have Domoticz running locally)? Or is this the moment I have to leave the GoogleH ome platform?

Hi JoostVDL, 

Thanks for reaching out to our community.

I’m sorry to hear that you can't continue combining a schedule and home & away routines at the same time, as you used to do with your Nest app. It is my pleasure to assist you with your concern. 

At this moment, based on the settings features available for the use of Schedule and Home & Away, the camera schedules and Home and Away settings can occasionally conflict with one another, so for the best experience, it is better for you to choose one or the other.

Please consider sharing your thoughts directly with our development team through this feedback form. Your input will help us prioritize features and ensure that we're meeting the needs of our diverse user base.

Feel free to keep us posted if you have more questions.

Best regards,

Virna
