2nd v2 installed. Thinking of adding 3rd for basement entry and would add a doorbell cam if they become a reality. Issue will be too many shortcuts becomes less practical.
Newbie here. Global camera off? Maybe possible, but not obvious to this semi-Luddite. Not an option? If not, possible in the future to add a “switch” like the global on/off push notification ?
i think he asked if there was a global off? not a short cut to turn off for each camera. i would be interested in this as well. a global on as well as a global off with 1 button that does it for all cameras or all cameras that you designate
Referring to the “Universal Actions”? Only two options. On or off all device notifications. Is it not the same as just clicking the to turn on and off all notifications?
Under “Device Actions” can only select one cam at a time.
Yes, All Device Notifications is the same as the bell icon. It really should say “all account notifications” (a change which is being considered).
Yes, you can make a single button to turn on/off all cameras (even though there isn’t an “all camera off” option). You simply make a single shortcut that has a separate “off” action for each camera. Shortcuts can have multiple actions associated with them.
Here are the steps:
Tap the Edit button in the Shortcuts section
Tap Create Shortcut
Tap Actions
Tap +New Action
Tap the first camera name
Tap “Turn off the camera”
Tap Save
Tap “New Action” and repeat steps 5-7 for each camera
Thanks for the step by step process.
Learned something new. Couple minutes of input. Reduced the shortcut clutter. Functionally more efficient home page
