My floodlights turn on in daylight when motion is detected, despite it being stated in Help Center lights will only turn on in darkness.

    In the setting for your lights there is a Light schedule, may try adjusting it. You can set specify times or say dusk to dawn.

      If I set them, they will stay on the entire time of the setting. I only want them to turn on when there is motion in darkness, not daylight.

    I have the same exact problem and nothing anyone said will fix the issue. I’m super unhappy that I bought the expensive wired one if it will come on during the day. I only need it at night time! ?

      Hello If you have more tan one flood light camera and you linked them go into linked devices tab. Once there click on the light that is linked to the camera that is turning on. Once there you can adjust the time period that the lights that are linked turn on. You have to adjust this as we progress through the seasons spring into summer for me in Ohio the turn on time will actually be 9pm because we are on the most western part of the eastern time zone. Of course in the fall it needs to be turned back to 5pm. Hope this helps.

        Thanks, I totally forgot about this setting. It'd be nice if this would support setting it from dusk to dawn instead of just static times.

      It seems to be a defect in my flood light. I have two others and they do not come on during daylight hours. If it is a defect please confirm so I can replace it. I have tried all suggested fixes and none work.

        I am having the same issue with my wired floodlight cam. I am on eastern time and it comes on with motion after 6pm. Did not notice this until the past week, after installing the a19 lightbulbs onto my system.
