Hi I’m trying to create a flow that, when my nest camera detects motion within a zone, it will activate my security lights.

When I create a flow and select my camera I get the following screen but I cannot amend any of the variables.

I have an active nest aware subscription, anyone else seen this?

>
> How to use tags in a flow on 2.0.x There are a lot of questions about using the tags in the 2.0.x firmware of Homey. So here i give you a simple explanation of using tags in 2.0.x. We start with the WHEN part When making a flow you select a device in the WHEN part of the flow. In this example i used a Fibaro plug. When selecting the device you get the option to choose “The power changed” f.e. When clicked you will see the tag(s) coming with this card. We gonna use that tag later, no need in…

@RoyWissenburg

It is very confusing because an updated article from athom (November 9, 2019, [https://support.athom.com/hc/nl/articles/360025308654-Welke-camera-s-kan-ik-koppelen-aan-Homey-](https://support.athom.com/hc/nl/articles/360025308654-Welke-camera-s-kan-ik-koppelen-aan-Homey-)) suggests that there is an app available for the Nest camera. Is there a way to add the Nest camera as a virtual camera? Where / how do I find the snapshot url?

Yes there is a way to install the Google nest cameras with Batterie in homey. Of course you have first to install it in Google home, with your smartphone. That is only possible with the Android Google home app!

Then you need to install the app Google nest in homey.  
After that you have to share all cameras with homey. therefore you go to the Google home app. Go to setup (icon with gear symbol on the right bottom corner). Then go under “Dienste” (that’s the German word) and search for “Verbindung mit Drittanbietern”. Than you chose your homey and there you can share all cameras and there different functions.

After that you have your cameras in homey integrated.

But unfortunately the report of movement, person detection a.s.o. doesn’t work properly. Only one doorbell functions without problems. All others don’t report to homey and I don’t know why not.
