Controlling Notifications

Nicholala — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 18:02:25 GMT

The doorbell and app only allows for turning off notifications, creating zones, or deactivating. I need to turn off motion notifications while leaving the doorbell active. The motion is used to monitor the front of the home. We live in the city and there is constant motion. But, we want to record so zones won't be helpful.

There appears to be no way to control these notifications, and it sounds like there are others with similar needs.

Go into the mode(s), and edit the rule(s) for the doorbell. You'll see the ability to turn off the notifications there.

Thank you for your response.

These controls will allow me to turn off notifications for motion, while still recording? I'll dig through the rules.
