Setting up a schedule on the new app

elkinsf — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 17:20:13 GMT

I have spent many hours on the new app trying to schedule my cameras without success. On the old app, I had all the cameras scheduled to operate from 9PM until 6AM every day… 7 days a week. I am trying to do the same thing with the new app, but the multiple modes just muddy the water and make what should be a simple task into an unnecessarily complicated machination. Can anyone tell me how to set up this simple schedule? The old app was way more intuitive. Thanks!

Unlike the old method where schedule can't spam days, this one is simpler (once you get into the mindset). There's no stop time involved any more, just the start of a new schedule.

1) Create a schedule that uses Arm Away at 9PM every day.

2) Create a schedule that uses Standby at 6AM every day.

I suggest

1) Create a schedule that uses Arm Home at 9PM every day.

2) Create a schedule that uses Standby at 6AM every day.

Then reserve "Arm Away" for when you go on vacation (setting up the system to disable the schedule when you are in "Arm Away".
