I have an Essential Spotlight camera. I would like to light my front door as I approach. Is there a way to utilize the spotlight while disarmed (i.e. geofencing disarms when I arrive home but I still want the light to come on). So far I can only use the spotlight while armed so would get notifications while being recorded with the spotlight on. Thanks for any help.

This would be a good use case for the old security lights. They didn't have a camera but the lights were 400 lumens vs. the 100 lumen spotlight in the cameras.

I guess you could try the Do Nothing setting in your rules to see if the spotlight will come on without recording but I tend to doubt that will work.
