**Ok, I’m done with the logging.** It’s been mildly tedious but helpful to Wyze and the community, I suppose.

Currently I run an Android 6 device that is still powerful enough but which has been OS-excluded from present and future Wyze app versions.

I also run Android 7 emulator _Bluestacks_ on a PC which will be able to use the latest Wyze app into the future.

Regarding firmware, all my v2 cams are (as of today) two versions removed from the latest release. I routinely monitor the **success** of firmware releases (add features/fixes without introducing new issues to troubleshoot) before accepting the upgrade.

I prize stability quite highly.

I don’t like to physically futz with the cams which are perfectly mounted and aimed with precise motion detection zones established. Remounting multiple cams (for me) is more than tedious, it’s **painful**.

Operational perfection is nice but I am tolerant of, I donno, **90% plus**? I don’t use the cams/plugs/bulbs for anything crucial.

**Does any of the foregoing bear upon the ERRATIC Rules performance I am demonstrating?**

I don’t know enough (anything, really) about how Rules operate on the backend to say. I mean do they reside primarily in the App software, the Firmware, the backend Server, AWS? Are they not **primarily** _anywhere_, but **more evenly distributed** among components? Heck if I know.

**Maybe it makes a difference that I’m running two versions back in both the app and firmware. Maybe it doesn’t.**

**Maybe the backend is where all the action is.** ☁

Maybe someone who knows can give me a clue. Please? 🙂
