Nest Cmera / Doorbell Schedule vs Home Away Assist

[Jimhundt]

Nest camera schedule seems to lack ability of “camera on” for sleeping time, “nest aware” for not sleepIng times vs simple on /off. If this was a feature, we could record video clips for a burglary when we are home and sleeping for example  between 11pm to 6am as well when away. Right now according to readings, schedule functions on / off do not play well with home/away assist set to on, comments welcome.

Hi Jimhundt, 

Thank you for posting in the community.

I can see that you are looking for the ability to schedule your Nest Camera to record with Nest Aware features (like video clips) during specific 'sleeping' hours while still utilizing Home/Away Assist at other times, but you're finding that the current 'on/off' scheduling doesn't quite integrate with Home/Away Assist the way you'd like. I can appreciate your concern about your home security and the desire for more tailored control over your cameras. Don’t worry, I’m here to help.

Based on the information you’ve shared, I recommend you use the Google script editor. You can access the script editor with Google Home for web or in the mobile Google Home app after you've joined the Public Preview for Google Home app program. To learn more, please check this Google Nest Help Center article: Create advanced home automations with the script editor.

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

Best regards,

Virna
