I bought the Arlo Wired Video Doorbell specifically to link it with my two Google Home Hubs -- I am unable to see out of the front of my house, so this is the only way I can verify who is on my porch.  Two questions:

 

1) Both of my Google Home Hubs worked great with the Arlo Wired Video Doorbell for about a month -- now when I call up the video doorbell, the Google Home Hub displays "The camera stream cannot be played right now."  I tried resetting both Google Home Hubs, and then the Video Doorbell came up once and then stopped working again.  Is this a software issue?  Will it be fixed?

 

2)  What I really want (in addition to the video doorbell working with Google Home) is for the video stream to automatically pop up if there is someone detected on the front porch.  Is there a future software fix in the works to make this happen?

 

All along, the video doorbell has worked on my iPhone app, but I do not always have my phone on me while in the house.  I am giving consideration to switching to another video doorbell which will automatically pop up when someone is detected on the porch.
