Pro 4 cmaera and automations

[tbgrandpa]

I set up an automation to record a two minute video at 4:20 AM every day of the week.  It does not work.

I was told by support that the recording must be triggered by motion to do this.  I have no motion set in the routine.

Has anyone been able to do this?

You can't schedule a recording or snapshot like that. It has to occur due to motion or audio detection.

FWIW, it is possible to create an automation that triggers at a set time, and records a video.  You do that from the "control a device" section on the "add actions" page.

It might be buggy/not work, but that is a different question.
