Have you tried do it via Google Home Script Editor? 
Granted, this is leveraging Wyze vs Nest for the cameras but everything else is the same logic 

metadata:
  name: CameraOn 
  description: Turn on based on presence
automations: 
  starters:
    - type: home.state.HomePresence
      state: homePresenceMode     
      is: AWAY
  actions:
    - type: device.command.OnOff 
      on: true
      devices: Wyze Back Porch - Back Porch

Hi AdeByrne,

 

Thank you for posting in the community. I understand that you're unable to set up a routine to turn the cameras on and off. I'm happy to help you!

To help me find the best solution, I'll need to ask you a few questions:

  • Which Nest camera do you have?
  • What troubleshooting have you done so far?
  • Is there any error code or message in the Nest app? 
  • Does this only happen when you create a routine with the camera?

@Mstytie and @OpethNJ for this inconvenience, i recommend you go to our friends Google Home Developer Center. they will provide you with the proper information.

Keep me posted.

 

Best regards,

Rusell.
