Integrating Smartthings with Nest Cam or iCamera Keep

[idahoski (Andrew)]

I am not sure how you are looking at integrating the iCamera Keep. I have iSmartAlarm, but don’t have the camera.

For arming and disarming iSmartAlarm, I use IFTTT to arm iSmartAlarm when I arm Smartthings. It requires a virtual switch. Take a look at the link below for how it is done for arming Canary. It is somewhat similar for iSmartAlarm, but you don’t need the Wink hub shortcuts. TheCellMC gives a good step-by-step in the thread if you need it.

[Solved] Arm Canary via Smartthings app

I created a virtual switch in Smartthings to arm Smartthings and use the same virtual switch via IFTTT to arm my Canary camera. I have made a rule tied to the same virtual switch to turn off lights while we are gone for the day. I have the same rule set to turn on some lights if we are leaving after dark. It seems to work fairly well with little lag. You can use the same method to have Smartthings and Wink “talk” via IFTTT and Wink shortcuts.
