Switch Nest Cam On/Off (not Home/Away)

[rchang05]

I would love the ability to expose the On/Off (or streaming/not streaming as I think Nest calls it in the API) functionality of the Nest Cam in HomeBridge. I tried to replicate this by using the Home/Away mode toggle that's exposed, but the camera would not always turn on when switched to Away. Also, several other devices (such as Hue lights) read the Nest Away state and do certain activities based on being Away, when really I just want a way to turn the camera on (and remain in Nest Home mode) while we sleep as part of a "Good Night" scene.
