Please tell me someone’s working on enabling nightvision based on time of day instead of automatic - it seems to be so inconsistent!!!

What’s aggravating is Wyze employees actually created a poll like a year ago saying new triggers/actions were coming and to vote on the first ones they should work on.
Then it totally fizzled out and died.
I too would like the ability to turn night mode on and off with an automation (in my case I want it to only come on when it senses motion to cut way down on the false alerts from dust, rain, bugs, etc).
But at this point it does not seem to be any sort of priority, even after they hyped it up so much.
Yes, and I never saw any response when I asked about follow-up several months ago:

@WyzeVeronica do you have any insight into this and what came of it??
Hopefully we can adjust the time of day (Unless it is computed for location). For instance, people who live up north has less sunshine at 4:30pm in the winter (Where I used to live.) Also, in the south, we have light later than the northeners. I am glad I don’t live in Alaska. I guess eclipses are rare enough not to worry about the darkness.
Not to veer too far away from the main topic, but this has been my problem (and the subject of my most recent unresolved Support ticket). Even when I have recorded my geographic location by providing my physical address within the Wyze app (at Account ➜ Home), their systems seem to ignore this information with respect to geographic-time-based functions. Vacation Mode has never worked for me the way it’s supposed to, and numerous users have complained for years about how their cameras’ (at static locations) time zones change when the users (and their phones) travel to different time zones.
If they’re going to provide a place for me to input my location, then they should actually use this information in a meaningful and logical way, and not just for Home Monitoring subscriber alerts. Key sunrise/sunset times, sunrise/sunset offset times (like if I want something to start at sunset + 15 minutes and end at sunrise - 15 minutes), Vacation Mode, etc., off the place on the map that I tell you where my Wyze stuff is!
To get back toward the main subject, definitely something like a Video Doorbell v2—which one would imagine is attached to the house and isn’t likely to move much—should be able to have a location and time zone set, and it’d be cool if Automation Actions were added to allow for time-based Night Vision Mode settings, especially with respect to sunrise/sunset at a given geographic location.
