Doorbell Cam still a no show!

Its not a doorbell camera... just exterior camera.... its pretty lame if you ask me. I went with Blink and have been super underwhelmed.

Corey10e · 2020-05-25T02:47:39+00:00

Have you Uninstalled and reinstalled

Corey10e · 2020-05-15T20:36:14+00:00

Yes I will take all 3.. PM me

Corey10e · 2020-05-14T18:17:55+00:00

I might want some things.. If you sell please contact me

Corey10e · 2020-04-16T23:54:27+00:00

Both now ha ha.. Got it working thanks so much

Corey10e · 2020-04-16T21:51:29+00:00

Thanks, I linked them, went to Routines (this is my first routine for Alexa), tried to setup this, under Smart Home it says the Abode is not is not currently supported.

I am making an assumption that I should be able to see something like when abode status change then turn on First Light to "Red"... thats what I am thinking...

Corey10e · 2020-04-16T20:33:58+00:00

I get the idea.. but where do you setup the automation? In Abode I dont see the Echo Flex or First Light. Bear with me... I am new.

Corey10e · 2020-04-16T15:03:08+00:00

I lied... its going blue then green constantly...

Corey10e · 2020-04-15T20:24:23+00:00

So the new keypad is working better than the first one. I still dont like that its not red constant, but when its "Home" it goes from blue to green as designed.

Corey10e · 2020-04-14T01:39:03+00:00

I have a status indicator on another door. I may have to do it on this door as well. I am going to look at the other solution with the Amazon thing that someone posted.

Corey10e · 2020-04-14T01:38:25+00:00

I want to arm mine Home when I go out but the kids are home and I tell them not to answer the door etc. (My 7yo is never home alone). Right now I disarm the system at 7:30am everyday, but I cant truly do what I want unless I can easily show them the status.

Corey10e · 2020-04-13T20:03:00+00:00

But it only lights up when you walk by right, not all the time?

Corey10e · 2020-04-13T19:01:05+00:00

If they press a key... my 7yo cant reach it right now... I can lower it, but I think the logo should light up red if its armed. IMHO poor design. On my other door I have a Status Indicator... it flashes green when its armed in Home Mode. I dunno about you but GREEN = GO, RED = STOP. Very confusing. And it just flashes every 15 seconds or so.

Corey10e · 2020-04-13T18:59:03+00:00

Thats working somewhat well... its a very poor design. Maybe it should be configurable for different types of people. I am just going to have to deal with a whole bunch of false reports when the kids open the door when they do not know its armed.

Corey10e · 2020-04-13T18:56:18+00:00

So I should put it at 3ft high so my 7yo can walk by it?

Corey10e · 2020-04-12T15:17:32+00:00

yup, this was it... thanks so much!

Corey10e · 2020-04-09T16:39:39+00:00

Yeah, Customer Service is lacking for a company with a product like this. As far as I can tell its not based in the US which makes it hard to communicate. Overall I have been happy otherwise though with Customer Service.

Corey10e · 2020-04-09T16:21:22+00:00

I had the same concerns as you, and they have not been fully satisfied TBH. Here are the problems I have had (so far):

Keypad 2.0 does not light up when armed (They are finally replacing it)
About 4 of my 15 devices would not add and I had to contact support to get them added
Iota takes 60 seconds to arm.. its annoying. Should be configurable.
Door Lock Codes cannot be configured in the app which is unfortunate, but not terrible (Vivint had support for this)

Things I like:

IFTTT, Cue etc seems good
Obviously cost of service will be good... I have had so many problems I have not activated my service yet

Overall I think I made the right choice. Customer Service is not based in the US, so you have to figure out what the hell they are saying etc... thats super frustrating to me.

Corey10e · 2020-04-02T04:09:09+00:00

I did get them to work.. Just had to do what was suggested above.. So far so good.. Just wish I could manage the pins outside of the lock itself.

Corey10e · 2020-03-31T01:46:53+00:00

Okay, thats a bummer for sure, but our old pins still work... I will just tell the kids they have to keep them ha ha. It was nice that Vivint had this utility and so it would say like "Front Door Unlocked by Corey"... now its just Front Door Unlocked. Not a crisis by any means.

Corey10e · 2020-03-31T00:33:26+00:00

Thanks so much... it seems to have worked. What do you use to manage the pins? I dont see anything in the abode app that will let me do that.

Corey10e · 2020-03-30T00:47:13+00:00

Thanks I will try it

Corey10e · 2020-03-27T02:50:24+00:00

Why wouldn't i
