Hi,

 

When using a camera is it possible to have multiple schedule's set-up under Alarm/Detection Alarm/Alarm Schedule/Custom Schedule?

 

For example you have one custom schedule that applies Mon-Sat and then another separate one that applies only on a Sunday for a different time period. 
 

Thanks for any help.

This is not supported in the camera alarm settings.

 

But there is a workaround if your camera model supports the 'Play Sound' skill in Smart Action. Check if this works for you.

  • Create an automation to make the camera to 'play sound' when the camera 'event detected'. 
  • Multiple schedule is supported for the automation effective time.

Thanks for that info about the workaround. 

 

Would it be possible to consider the multiple schedule option in the camera alarm settings at a future software upgrade?

 

Best Regards

 

Geoff
