Is there a way of filtering event by zones?

[lhl]

Hi all,

Is there a way in the video history to filter events per "user defined zones" in the Home app? I have a zone set up named Driveway. When I go in video history I'm able to filter per event type (vehicle, people, etc.), but I didn't find a way to filter with my custom zones. The outside zone generates a lot of extra event entries and most of the time it's just noise that makes the events of interest hard to find. I would like to have a way of seeing only events on the Driveway zone. Do you know a way to filter this way?

Thanks

I came here to ask this same question! It seems like it should be the most simple thing in the world but so far it doesn't seem possible. I live on a main road so there is so much activity the camera picks up and it seems impossible to find what I actually want to see! I don't always get notifications of activity on my set zones either so sometimes you need to manually look for something. Fingers crossed we get an answer soon

Thanks a lot for your reply Brad, appreciate it. It is really surprising you cannot filter by user assigned zones! That seems like an expected feature to me and would be helpful to many users I am sure. Is it possible to suggest this as a feature?
