2nd doorbell won't connect to wifi

[KenMcGrew]

Spoiler

bought 2 Essential wireless doorbells from Amazon. First one I set up connected to wifi without an issue. 2nd one will not connect. I follow the steps where I scan the QR code and I do get the tone and press continue. the doorbell flashes white for 17 seconds and then changes to red for a few seconds and then just turns off. I have tried a half dozen times, but no joy. I tried chatting with support and got a message that I was connected, but no one ever responded to my texts.

Hi @KenMcGrew

Are you still experiencing this issue with installing your doorbell camera? 

[KenMcGrew]

Yes. I had opened a ticket with support as well as this community and haven't heard anything back yet. The issue I am experiencing with my 2nd doorbell is not in the docs I have seen.

Have you tried factory resetting the doorbell then try to pair again? 

[KenMcGrew]

I did a factory reset last night. Made no difference. After scanning the QR code and hitting Continue, it flashes white for 17 seconds, then changes to flashing red for a few seconds and then turns off, just like before the reset.

I sounds like this camera my be faulty, were these purchased refurbished or used by chance?

[KenMcGrew]

They were both purchase new thru Amazon ordered September 11 and delivered September 14. Who should I go thru if it is defective? I've thrown all the packaging away.

Amazon would be the fastest especially with their return policy.
