make "flash"/"blink" interval longer or configurable

Post by Menno »

I have just installed two Netatmo Presence. Both work great, but the camera's have the following problem: at night, when I want the floodlight to be turned on continuously, every few minutes or so the floodlight switches off for half a second and then switches on again. It is always for say half a second (it looks as if you see a flash, like the blink of an eye), and it continuously behaves this way. It is not caused by the wiring or the 220V.
Support tells me this is working as designed (ticket 2693780) because the camera needs to check for the amount of ambient light so that it knows whether to switch off because night is over.
I can understand why this is necessary but this behaviour however is a bit strange and looks restless. To check every few minutes is way too often.
My feature request is to change this interval to 30 to 60 minutes. Or make the interval configurable in the app.
PS: firmware level 189.
