Re: Error with V440 - permanent red light!
Yes, same here after update V440. I have two welcome cameras. First one showed permanent red light status led (not the ir light) for some days. Later i saw that this camera was updated. Today the other camera got the update and since then shows permanent red light too. The help center says, that it is an error and we should contact support. So it seems that update 440 broke the welcome cams, but it seems also that everything is working normal. I dont want the permanent red light and i do not even think it was intended. So Netatmo, please help!
Furthermore: i did a reset today on the first cam, which resolved the problem (as it turned out, because of removing from homekit, see edit below) but had very big trouble in getting it working again. As it turned out the cams cannot connect to my wifi anymore. Setting up by mobile app fails in the last step, when the network settings should be written to the camera ... timeout. Tried with ipad and iphone, no chance. After that i plugged it in the computer and tried the setup program. This completed without errors, but after unplugging still no connection to wifi. I did a reset on the router and other things, but nothing worked. The cam cannot connect anymore. At last i tried to connect with ethernet cable and this works. But i do not have ethernet near the cam, so it is only a workaround. Hope this problem can be solved.
So everybody be warned in doing a reset on their camera with the red light error, as it might break the wifi connection. Did not want to try it with my second camera. Anyone here with the same error?
edit: so it seems that the red light is intended since the last update, as the english help center article says:
I read the german version before, and there solid red is still mentioned as an error. As i am german speaking, i did not check the english version of the article since my post here. So it seems, that the permanent red light is intended and should be possible to turn off, which i will try.Red Solid – the Camera is active and configured for streaming and recording. This is the case for any Camera that is configured both in the Netatmo Security app and HomeKit. This option can be disabled in the settings page of the Camera in Apple’s Home app (“Camera Status Light”). Only available in HomeKit, on iOS 13.2 or higher.
On the other hand it would be nice, if netatmo would state this change in the app and of cource all languages in the help center should be updated asap.
