You get many possibilities to control your Presence like: - Switch for Snapshot and Stream - Time durance for Snapshot - Quality for Stream - Camera on / off - Floodlight auto / on / off - Floodlight Intensity Use the Widget in the Todayview to see who ring the door. Unfortunally this app is not so easy to configure, because some restrictions and data protection of Netatmo.
