Temporarily use iPhone for doorbell internet?

One of the issues with the newer IOS versions being used as a hotspot is that if you are attempting to connect a non-Apple device, the hotspot iPhone MUST be on the “Personal hotspot” page and the screen MUST be unblanked. Once the connection is made, those requirements do not apply with one HUGE gotcha. If the connection drops for any reason, the iPhone will again need to be on the “Personal hotspot” page with the screen unblanked in order for the non-Apple device to re-connect.
I have used my #$%^& iPhone as a hotspot for Wyze cameras on quite a few occasions. It generally works - at least for a while.
