Reboot Camera from the App

Post by tjb »

Allow camera to be rebooted/restarted from the app. Sometimes it stops working in HomeKit but is still responsive from the app. The only fix is often to power cycle it but it would be much more convenient to be able to do it from the app - especially with the Presence cameras.

Would be a great feature - like when turning surveillance on and off within 5 seconds...

+1 on that. I quite often have the same issue: not connected to homekit but working in the netatmo app. A power cycle resolves that issue. But what if I‘m not at home?

+1 My doorbell got stuck on some strange loop and I couldn't do anything remotely.

The camera rebooted due to a firmware update and it went back to life. I think forcing it to reboot (somehow) could have fix it also.
