I bought Duo Floodlight PoE because I thought the floodlight would function as an alarm. My hope was when a person was detected, the floodlight would turn on and scare them away. Unfortunately, the floodlight does not work like this. It basically functions as a simple light that is capable of detecting motion. You can not schedule the light to turn on only during certain periods of time, for example, between midnight and 6:00 AM. Instead, it will turn on anytime motion is detected. So if your friends come over at 8:00 PM for dinner, they are blinded by the floodlight. I would love to see a scheduling feature in the app, similar to the siren, to schedule when the light will turn on.
