Hello. It would be really nice if you could have it so like almost all your cameras are in standby and then only one camera is armed, then have a routine so when motion is detected in the one camera it then activates the other cameras.

The reason for this is that I would like to set up some more Essential cameras in my apartment but don't want it to record all the time that I walk into a room.

This is called cross triggering, and you can do it now. Just to into the mode(s) are you using, and edit the rule for the camera you want to use to detect the motion. Add the other cameras in the recording section.
