Turning Nest Hub Max camera on overnight

PTM
Community Member

Hello folks,

 

I've just setup my Nest hub max after moving house.

 

When it was setup in my last house, I had the camera setup to come on each night when we'd gone to bed. I *think* I had this setup up through the best app before.

 

Id prefer to use the home app for all of my devices, and have started experiment with home and away routines.

 

I have a routine that activates the camera when we leave home and turns it off when we arrive home.

 

However,  I can't seem to work out a routine to turn the camera on after we go to bed (say 10pm) and off again in the morning (say 7am).

 

Ive tried to use a timed action to "Adjust home devices" but that seems to only allow me to adjust the connected lights we have.

 

Can anyone give any help on how to use a routine to activate the camera on the device at particular times?

 

Very many thanks for your help.

Hello again,

I've just found that i can set a schedule in the Nest app that allows me to turn the NHM camera on and off and specific times.

This is what i've been looking for!

Many thanks,

I don't see any way to schedule the camera on our Google Nest Hub Max. Even if you could, I think you'd be disappointed on the results of recording at night, because the camera on the Hub Max has no night vision, so nighttime recording in the dark can be completely black.  Just my perspective as another Google Nest customer.

Thank you for your reply, i appreciate it.

Before i moved house, which was only 3 months ago, i could do this. Has the functionality been removed? I just cant remember how we did it. If it was through the nest app, or the google Home app.

Despite the lack of IR on the NHM, there is a enough light in my house to see and alert if there were an intruder in the middle of the night.
