Is it possible to turn on or off the Yi camera through Google Home

Hi,

I’m trying to set up a routine for when I leave and when I come home. I’d let to turn on the camera when I leave as part of my google Home routine. And turn it off when I come back. Is this possible?

Hi @Amanda1 Thanks for joining the Forum! Unfortunately this is not possible as Google Assistant does not allow users to turn cameras off.

Hi! Is that the case for all cameras?

Could I then just use a smart plug and turn the plug on and off to bypass that issue?

Hey! I’m pretty sure that’s the case for all cameras. But yeah, that’s a great idea about the smart plug!

Hi there, I’ve looked everywhere for the answer to turn on the camera with Google home. I know you can’t turn them off but there should be a way to turn them on.
