2.20+ app Beta test 5/14/2021

I do t know if any one else has noticed this. But on my iPhone if enough notifications build up, about 60 or more, the next one to come in will crash the dashboard.

I’ve had to set a cam in a location temporarily that gets set off a lot due to my neighbors. Go to sleep, wake up & unlock my phone & start doing something (play a game, look at mail, anything). Next motion notification that comes in & dashboard crashes, spinning icon, have to unlock phone again. Clear out the 60+ notifications & all is good.

Only started recently in the last couple of beta versions.

I just tested this and had 97 notifications come in and app still worked. No Crash on my iPhone.

Could you submit a log?

Was wondering if you all were able to correct the potential FW issue with the bulbs? where some go offline randomly.

We can get them to reconnect by turning the power off for a few seconds and then back on. Guess it re-establishes communications at that point.

Hi @spamoni @carverofchoice the bulb will release a firmware update, but I"m not sure the date. Please be patient.

Appreciate the update. Will be patient. :slight_smile:

Can I assume that this will include both Color and Regular Bulbs? This happens with both.

I just wanted to say that we appreciate you interacting and updating us on how things are going, as well as all the work you are doing to make improvements and look into things. You’re doing a great job. Thank you so much.

Really? Hummm. I wonder if it’s phone related. I have a iPhone 8 still on IOS 13.

I can reproduce It all the time.

I am on iOS 14.6. I can do more testing if you would like.

Give me the exact steps you are doing and I will do the same.

You want one now? Or next crash of my dashboard?

I can let some notifications build up till it happens then send in a log.

Nice. Can’t wait to not have to power off & on the bulbs anymore. Thank you.

I have 2 bulbs out of 11 that constantly give me offline fits as well. 1 standard 1 color. Both are in close proximity to the WAP so I know its not connectivity issue.

The other denominator that I just thought of is that these 2 bulbs are the only 2 that I have a rule set to trigger an action with a V3 camera :thinking:

Mine are in a rule group also. To turn on at a set time & off at a set time. That 1 bulb keeps disconnecting & not reconnecting so it never gets the “turn off” signal.

Sometime last night it went offline again & has yet to reconnect on its own yet.

I suppose the test would be to delete the rule and see if they go offline as often, where mine are daily.

Mine rarely come back on their own, usually have to flip the switch to “reboot”

Ok so devices are online

Rules have been deleted



I will watch to see if they go offline

Done that.

Just put bulb 4 up there, the one without the beta firmware on it. Took 10 minutes to show online in the app. Let’s see how it does.

No steps.

Notifications build up.
I wake up, unlock phone.
Start to do something (game, webpage)
Next motion event to come in, screen goes black with a spinning logo. Few secs later asks me for unlock code, back at home screen.

It hasn’t happened lately & only change was I cleared the app cache (~20 mb). Did get a error msg (sorry didn’t think to note what it said) when I cleared the cache also.

To the devs here, I have sent in logs & even a email from the test flight app that should have the iPhone logs attached.

Log ID 235966

I don’t have that issue. They just released a Beta App version, you may want to try that. you can also test out the Firmware for the devices as well.

Here is the link to what the updates will provide:
