I did the "power off - wait - power on" cycle. Now the image is in red colors.
Subsequent power off/on cycles do not change this behavior.
Had anyone simiilar experience? Is the doorbell now bricked?
I am hesitant to perform a "reset" - it is my understanding this would then require a complete re-installation (what a pain!)
--- Update, a few hours later ----
I fixed it! Did a "reset", but not a full factory reset. Here are the steps:
- Removed the security screw and take the doorbell off the mounting plate on the wall.
- Took a needle to push the "reset" switch (the small hole at the back of the unit). Waited until the LED responds.
- The LED flashed green, then went off completely.
- Pushed the reset switch again.
- The LED flashed green, then red, then green again, and in the end changed to blue. (Very strange, unexpected!)
- Put the unit back to the mounting plage on the wall, put the security screw in.
Again, this procedure is obviously not a complete factory reset. Seems to be a smooth local reset, keeping all settings.
What ia annoying is not only the poor quality of the Video Doorbell (I have two units, perfect WiFi signal quality, but too many disconnects and other firmware related bugs), it is the fact that Netatmo does not even provide useful documentation for this kind of reset. And documentation which exists (in the manual and the app does not match. What a mess.
Thanks, Klaus
