I am trying to create "Sleep" mode.  Currently I have three modes:

Standby - All cameras disabled

Home - All outdoor cameras enabled, indoor cameras disabled

Away - All cameras enabed

 

I would like a "Sleep" mode that builds upon Home mode by adding a subset of indoor cameras between the hours of 11:00pm and 5:00am.

 

While there are lots of references within the community to creating a "Custom Mode", i cannot seem to enable it.  In a recent chat, the agent stated that it is a new feature that is not fully released.  Odd that help text and community info already has it everywhere.

 

I tried creating a routine/automation, but there is no ability to enable or disable a camera within routines, only "record a video" or "Activate Alarm" and "Customize Device". Obviously, these routine/autoimation/schedule three options don't allow me to achieve my results.  I could also edit the three modes I have, but that would result in Standby being eliminated leaving me no ability to disable all cameras with one action.

 

 

Help!

    You'll have to wait until custom modes is fully rolled out to your account.

     

    In the meantime, if you rarely use standby then you might consider modifying standby to do what you want.
