Hey everyone! I’ve been exploring how to set up my Nest floodlight with camera to avoid triggering during nighttime motion. I’ve got a lot of wildlife around, and while the floodlight is great for security, it’s a bit too bright and tends to wake me up unnecessarily. 
I tried creating an automation but was a bit confused by the options. Initially, I thought the sleep and awake modes would do the trick, but they just dim the lights instead of completely preventing the motion sensor from activating. 
After some research, I found that setting a specific time window where the motion sensor is disabled can work. I set it to deactivate from 9 PM to 7 AM. Now, the lights stay off during the night, but they’ll still activate if motion is detected during the day. 
If anyone has tips or alternative solutions, I’d love to hear them! Let’s keep those floodlights smart and energy-efficient!
