I want to find a way to easily turn on and off my camera notifications. I currently have a battery doorbell and a Nest Cam with floodlight. Currently to turn them on or off I have to log into the Home App. Select the camera. Go to settings, notification, turn on/off notification. Then repeat for the other camera. Is there a way to automate this in a simple step. My use case is: I want notifications when I'm home but in for the night. So if someone comes into my backyard at night I will be notified. But I don't want the million notifications during other times when we are home and active around the house.

This should be automated, and this is something that the "community" has been asking for forever. It's such an obvious use case and without this feature the "Smart" abilities of the Nest cameras are rendered nothing but annoying. The new "routines" should allow you to turn notifications on/off (and/or increase volume) depending on time of day. The fact that they still aren't enabling this starts to look suspicious after a while. I mean, what's the point of a smart security camera that isn't set up to let you know when someone is in your yard at night!? Thanks for posting this @BDemps
