I have 4 Cameras outside my home. They are scheduled to arm at 8 pm and go into standby at 6am.

I would like to set up geofencing that would arm when leaving and go back to my schedule when returning home. Is this possible and if so what are the steps?

Thanks

If you have the custom modes in your app, then it is possible.  Though custom modes is still a work-in-progress.

 

Otherwise, you can get close, but you do need to choose a single mode to switch to when you return.   You can then manually switch if you want, or wait until the next transition time.

 

General approach:

  1. set up Arm Away and Arm Home to arm all cameras (likely already set up that way)
  2. set up the schedule automations to switch between Arm Home and Standby
  3. enable both schedule automations in Arm Home and Standby, but not in Arm Away
  4. enable geofence leave in all modes, and have it switch to Arm Away
  5. enable geofence arrive only in Arm Away, and have it switch to either Arm Home or Standby
