Standby Ignoring Rule

Motogopher — Sat, 09 Sep 2023 17:28:55 GMT

This is really about the Wired Doorbell or the Keypad Hub. I customized the Standby mode to allow the doorbell to be active. It shows active on my app dashboard, video recording on motion and notifications are turned on and do work. The last thing in my feed states Standby activated and no more video snippets even though I have customized Standby to keep the doorbell alive, active, and recording what it sees. This looks like a bug in the programming for the feed. I do it this way so when I return home and turn the alarm off my doorbell is active with having to press the Home Away button which I customized for an overnight schedule.

FWIW, I find I occasionally have to reboot my hub so the doorbell records. If yours is connected to your WiFi, reboot the camera in the camera settings.

I think what happens with these modes, and consistent with other devices I've owned, is that the mode is initialized when it is activated, not necessarily when it is redefined. So switching modes and then going back to the that was changed seems to make it work with the new changes. BTW, I really like the customization that's available.
