What a horrible user experience and design with the new app. I finally get different locations that can be managed from a single app. Still, then you destroy my schedules from the previous app and set up the most unnecessarily complicated system to replace it.

 

I only want specific cameras on my system to be off during the day and then turn on at a particular time at night. But no, I have to work within three stupidly named modes and set up and add automations that show as disabled even when toggled blue to be activated.

 

Brilliant. Amazing. At this point, I assume you're making it worse on purpose so you can charge people for a plan that will undo new features.

Can you post screenshots your schedule automations?
