Does the Google Device Access API allow turning a camera on or off? Or turning notifications on or off?

280 views Asked by At

Looking at the Google Device Access API, I don't see a command to turn a camera on or off. And I also don't see a command to turn notifications for a camera on or off. I see the camera traits here, but maybe there are commands somewhere else that apply to any type of device?

Am I missing it, or is this functionality in fact not provided?

I had hopes that I would be able to refine notifications based on smart home events, as opposed to a strict time schedule as it is now...

No, at least not at this time for Cameras.

Cameras Traits do not include connectivity - link Thermostat does list the Connectivity trait - link

Not what you were looking for, but you can query the on- or offline status: https://developers.google.com/nest/device-access/traits/device/connectivity
