Help with motion sensing automation

@ElTigre81, I saw a notification on Reddit from when I replied to your post there and you responded, but Reddit isn’t displaying your reply in the thread. :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

I’ll respond here. I prefer this platform, anyway.[1] The notification said you wrote this:

You’re welcome! :grin:

If your main goal with this area is illumination, then I think some variant of Wyze Bulb (I like the 1100 lm output of the Bulb Color) is a good choice, because then you can use those as your timer (“Turn on for” Action or “Has been on for” Trigger). You won’t get the “Upload a short video to the cloud” Action or the wide-angle view from the Bulb Cam, but hopefully your Cam Floodlight Pro and Video Doorbell v2 will give you the coverage you want.

If you have a moment, then I’d still recommend visiting the Wishlist topic I linked previously so that you can vote and comment. Others within the community who really want to see that feature added to Cam Floodlight Pro would likely appreciate the support.


  1. I really signed up for Reddit only so I could ask some questions in the recent AMA, though none of those have been addressed as of this writing. I probably won’t spend a lot of time responding there. ↩︎
