Is it possible to trigger the light at the same time as the camera detects movement?
Hi,I was disappointed not to find this option. My camera being under a carport, it points down a little.It detects movements without problem at about 10 meters but given that the light sensor is located under the camera, the light is only triggered at less than 2/3 meters ... therefore no deterrent effect.For sure the light sensor is set at the maximum.Is there an option which would trigger the light at the same time as a motion detection is provided?Thank you

Are you guys going into Device Settings>Light Settings>Motion Activated Lights? Assuming you are and the light and the camera motion detectors are acting independently there’s one other work around. You can create a light group Device Settings>General Settings>Light Group then create whatever group you want (it can be just that floodlight). Then in Alexa app create a routine where the camera motion detection triggers the light group. In Alexa app go More>Routines>+>Routine name>When this happens>Smart Home>Floodlight camera>Detected>Add action>Smart Home>Lights>Light groupHopefully that works.

Im having the same problem. I have the floodlight mounted on the side of my garage looking into my back garden. The problem being that i am first visible for detection around 10-12m away from the camera, but lights are only triggered when I get to within about 4-5m. Very fustrating as I want them to turn on as soon as motion is detected. Its worth noting that this is within my motion zone too. I can see that you have suggested looking at the motion settings, but I think we will have both checked the floodlights settings & turning the sensitivity upto the max before asking for help on here…..Will be returning the floodlight if the issue is not fixed as it is currently unfit for purpose
