I just switched over to the new app interface and now I have a problem.

I am getting a notification every time the cameras switch modes (for example from Armed Home Arm Away).

I am using a routine to Arm Home and 10pm and Arm Away at 5:40am.

My Arm Home is set to 10pm becuase of where I live and various people/vehicle traffic that does not die down until later.  However - I usually go to bed between 8:30 and 9pm.  So now I am getting woken up at 10pm every night because of the notification when the mode changes - not happy, and my husband is going to throw my phone out the window!!  

 

I don't want to silence it because obviously I want to hear the notification if there is actually something happening on the cameras.  How do I turn this off?

 

This is similar to a problem that I have ALWAYS had where the low battery notification goes off in the middle of the night. It literally NEVER goes off during the day - only at night when I am sleeping.

 

I have my notifications set to a very obnoxious tone so that I can be sure to be woken up if the cameras see anything but the battery notification and the mode switch notifications are killing me.

 

Just for some context I live where I work and I am in charge of security so it is essential that I hear the notifications from the cameras at night - however I also need to be able to sleep and not be woken up by dead batteries and mode changes.  I have 6 cameras so if one goes low in the middle of the night it isn't the end of the world.

 

I want to be able to turn off the notification of mode change, and I think it would be common courtesy for the battery notifications to at least understand what time zone you are in and not notify you until a decent hour - or be able to send them via email instead of text would also be a solution.

 

Please help!

There's no setting I could find to disable mode change notifications nor for low battery. The latter can be handled by proactively monitoring battery levels and recharge before 25% occurs. 

 

@JamesC or @ShayneS ? Suggestions?
