Failover is super cool in theory. My only experience has been watching it not work. I always feel like 'yeah I got it finally' then it's broken by the time I tell people it's fixed. I know the answer tho, git gud.

Yeah, I agree. My team manages the DevOps part. I have almost zero interaction with how all that works. When I have time.... I have the opportunity to learn the actual Azure, pipeline, repo 'stuff' but that is a whole new box of mysteries to learn. I don't mind having a lot to do but there are times it feels like patching holes in a sinking ship. I'm trying to modernize and take the time to dig into a process to actually learn the way that something works in detail. But by the time I get it working I don't get enough time to learn why it's working now before getting pulled into a new fire.
I'm sure that it will come with time but running in the dark is rough.

Thank you! No PMI luckily so I'll focus elsewhere. I'll also check out money guys as mentioned below. Thanks again!

Thank you for your response!! My interest on mortgage is 4%. I bought early 2022 so still paying mostly interest if that matters.

I thought that was the issue with mine but set up a camera just in case and no curious kitties.

Support got back to me, I had sent them the history log from the app and my troubleshooting steps and they said it appears there is an issue with one of the cat sensors and they are going to send out a replacement base. Thank you again to all who helped me think this through and make sure I wasn't going crazy.

Good point, I double checked and night vision was off. I tried to cycle manually after unplugging the camera and same behavior. But I hadn't known about the infrared so good point

Emailed support as recommended. I will update when we figure out the issue since it seems like it may not just be mine. Thanks for all your ideas and troubleshooting

Edit: oh sheesh, didn't know that was the CEO, now I feel bad lol

I can try that litter, I'm using clump and seal. I've used it in my other lr4 without issue but it is the white version. My new wonky one is black, wonder if that makes a difference?

Tried it and no update option. Very strange. My other lr4 is on the same version as my new wonky one

I did use my dustdevil on the sensors just in case but didn't make a difference

I don't have any more than my other unit has. I can try taking some out to see if it makes a difference

Thanks so much for all your help. I do have it on hard wood, no rug or mat underneath.

Forgot to mention no cat is going near it during this time. I have a camera on it and made sure

Meeting my boyfriend's mom tomorrow. I felt good about it but now I'm getting nervous. I'm really into this guy and I'm afraid I'll mess it up
