I created a very custom schedule.  The following is the only problem:  During the week while at work (during work hours) all cameras are active (8am-5pm).  During the weekend, only the front door is active during the same hours but longer (8am-9pm).  However, everytime I restart the app, the weekend time gets overwritten with the weekday settings.  I've tried restarting the base station, recreating the schedule. etc.  I think it's a software bug.  Anyone else run into this?

I might have overcome it by creating some extra modes to align time blocks (some explanation below[1]).  I think the app has some auto-adjust smarts (silly programmers =]) that don't work right in some cases.  Eg if you don't line up two time periods, it will auto adjust one of them to fill the gap.

To explain what I mean by aligning time blocks from a section of the schedule:

1) Week days only 630-730am (front door camera weekday morning mode)

2) Weekend only 630-730am (all camera weekend mode) (Adding this seems to have fixed it)
3) Weekend only 730am - 930pm (all camera weekend daytime mode) (previously this started at 630am)

I restarted the app several times so we'll see if it sticks longer-term.  If mode 2) above is removed, the all camera weekend daytime mode gets overwritten by the front door camera weekday morning mode after app restart.

I'd also suggest using a browser for modes, rules and schedule. There can be display issues with the app, at least for me.
