Manual on. Not auto.
I tried to set on sunset, off sunrise. Won’t turn on
I tried xx time on, xx time off. Won’t turn on
When I press light on in live view, it works but when I move from that to another page the light turns off.
Tried 2 cameras.
I see the auto on only gives option to turn on when motion, but I want it manually on all the time.
Any ideas how to fix this?
When in manual mode the times do not have any effect, manual means only touching the light icon or using an automation will turn it on (not sure why the times are there, that’s a bug).
When you leave live view after manually turning the light on, it will turn off, that’s by design.
If you want it to come on with motion, you can either set it to “auto” (which relies on ambient light being below a certain threshold) or set it to manual and use an automation, which is what I do since I have enough ambient light that it won’t trigger in “auto” mode.
The light is not meant to be left on for hours at a time, the longest you can do is 15 minutes each time it detects motion via an automation.
