On your next Roku Home App release you should add the ability to TEST notifications from each camera device.

    Just sharing this in case someone has the same problem I had.  I have three cameras and suddenly I was not receiving notifications at all from all three though they were recording events.  NOTHING had changed on my end and I was getting quite peeved.  I then went into my home app, clicked on ACCOUNT at the bottom right and clicked on notifications and then PUSH NOTIFICATIONS and saw that it was OFF.  I turned it ON and VIOLA!  Problem solved!

    I then remembered the app had updated itself and I am wondering if perhaps the update did it.

    Anyway, just wanted to share.

    BTW Roku - Add the ability to TEST notifications from each connected camera and perhaps popup a suggestion box to have people check the steps like I did.

  • My request for an additional option for the Roku Smart Home plug. The ability to set activation on or off based on Sunrise and Sunset times is very much appreciated, it adds a great deal to the overall versatility of the smart plugs. I do have a request to the scheduling function in the app - add in the option to add a unit of time to the on or off times for the plug. For example, have the ability set the activation time to one hour before or after sunrise (for example). Same again for deactivating the plug - set the activation time to one hour before or after sunset (for example). One hour, or multiple hours, or fractions of hours - all of that would be very useful, I think.
