Pause Recording Rule for Doorbell

Is there any way to pause a doorbell recording rule for a set amount of time (e.g. 2 hours, 4 hours, for today, etc).  For example, if I have work being done in front of my house and I don’t want my doorbell to save a large number of unwanted videos. Or if it is a windy afternoon and I don’t want a bunch of useless videos recorded of a tree branch swaying in the wind.

It is unacceptable to expect users to manually pause a rule and then to remember to manually un-pause the rule later.

    Hey rkdougan9876 - Yes it's possible.

     

    If you login to your SmartHome Security account on the web, you'll be able to adjust your doorbell camera rules. You can also pause the recording rules manually through the app by navigating to More > Automation> and then manually toggle the on/off switch for the appropriate rule
