Hi everyone,This has been driving me nuts for weeks now, I'm at my wits end. I tried the Nest subreddit but they weren't very helpful. I installed a Nest Outdoor camera a couple months ago, I installed about a foot beneath some motion sensing flood lights I have installed above my garage door, as recommended by Nest. Since I installed it, the motion sensor has been tripping the flood lights. Initially I thought it could just be coincidence that the motion sensor on the fixture had gone bad, because the fixture is relatively old. So yesterday, I bought a fancy new LED flood light fixture with a motion sensor, installed it, and this one is doing the same exact thing. It doesn't matter which way I point the camera and the motion sensor, it still trips constantly for no reason. I thought perhaps it was the IR lights on the camera when the camera went into night vision mode that was tripping the lights, so I turned off night vision, no difference, lights just continue to randomly trip throughout the night. So no dice on the IR tripping the light. So, I tried unplugging the camera, bingo, motion sensor started operating correctly. Plug the camera in, and once it boots up and starts recording, bam, the lights start tripping randomly again. So the next thing I tried was keeping the camera plugged in, but shutting off the recording through the app, another bingo, the motion sensor starts acting correctly with the camera on but recording shut off. So I've atleast figured out that the motion sensor only trips when the camera is recording. I'm completely miffed now. Could this be because the motion sensor and the camera are on the same circuit that is cause the flood light to trip only when the camera is recording? Do I need to install a subpanel in my garage and run these off separate circuits? via /r/DIY http://bit.ly/2GQ5agz
