I’m really struggling with the new app. All I wanna do is turn all three of my cameras on it one time at night and off in the morning. I figured out how to get them all to come on, but cannot get them to deactivate in the morning. Do I do that in standby? Arm away? And exactly how? Your help will be appreciated

Create two schedule automations - one to change to "Arm Home" at night, and a second to change to "Standby" in the morning.  Make sure both automations are enabled in both "Arm Home" and "Standby", but NOT in "Arm Away".  (The enable list is right under the automation name).

 

Then manually switch to "Arm Away" when you leave home on a trip - the cameras will remain armed until you return, and change the mode back to "Arm Home" or "Standby".

 

You can use these screenshots as a guide:

Shouldn't 'everyday' be spelt 'every day'?

 

'everyday' is an adjective used in constructions like 'everyday problem', whereas 'every day' functions as an adverb 'she sings every day', meaning she does the thing each day.

 

In the above screenshot, the assumption is 'camera records at sunrise, every day, not just on a Monday or Wednesday'

My screenshots are just guides (as my earlier post explicitly says).  Details of the schedule are up to @SAL1  - who DID NOT specify Monday and Wednesday in this discussion thread.

Yes.  I'm tagging the mods - @BrookeN , @JamesC , @ShayneS - to call their attention to this error.
