I wish the app would popup immediately in live view when the doorbell is rung. Takes so long to pull it up and see the view that most folks walk away before I can get to the door.

So on a different note. I'll wager that many doorbells are shipped with that firmware version 20191113 and thats why they had it reloaded on the doorbell. I'll also wager that they still get shipped with that firmware and of course the first thing they do is force an upgrade on installation.

Wow! These guys have no clue how to develop software and use known software best practices to guarantee reliable and functional releases. No clue. Staying 702 for now. Thanks for the reports.

I started seeing the prompt for the update. No thanks, staying at 702 for now.

@GaryOkie I'm with you, just sitting on 702 until the release is stable.
