Nest Cam Battery Motion Detection in Smartthings to turn on lights

Oldguy

I just bought Nest Cam Batteries, installed everything, linked to smartthings (showing up in smartthings and able to see video).  I added a routine in smartthings to turn on a light when the Nest Cam Battery camera detects motion.  It isn't working but the camera is detecting motion and recording video.  Has anybody got the Nest Cam Battery to run routines in smartthings to turn on lights?

Hi there, 

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this, as I can imagine it has been an inconvenience. I would love to look into this further for you. I am afraid that there are limited options with SmartThings, and creating routines and schedules is one of those features that isn't working well, or at all, with SmartThings.

Best regards, 
Brad

I appreciate the help, Brad.
