Audio detection - (yet) another issue

I'll allow myself a soupçon of sarcasm and say that I'm delighted to announce that I've uncovered yet another issue.

In Arm Away mode, an attempt to enable audio detection for any camera in that mode results in a pop-up window asking me (NB the contradictory wording of the message on top of everything) to actually disable audio detection. If one selects 'disable', the app takes you to another screen: a blank one. And so, there's no way to enable audio detection as such. At least the system is still working by detecting motion (for now). @ShayneS @BrookeN

Android, correct? FWIW, I am not seeing this with iOS (checking with an Ultra camera).

Normally I have all audio detections off (too much noise in my area to make them useful). Pressing on Audio Detection in the rule asks if I want to enable audio detection - if I say "enable", it takes me to the audio/video detection screens. If I turn on "all audio" for the camera, and then navigate back, the rule has "audio detection" on.

Android indeed. I can tick the box when I'm in Arm Away, but I don't get anything like you're describing, and probably for the better, as the development team usually love to complicate what otherwise is a simple solution.
