Wyze Cam Pan v3 - Does not return back to home position

An update to document this glitch:

FW V - 4.50.0.3405 - Pan Scan Off, Track Motion Off, Home Position Set by thumbpad w\ DZ Off, DZ toggles to On, Set, Saved. Cam PT manipulated by app thumbpad in Live Stream, Cam returns to Home position after 10s of no motion.

BUG: Cam does not return to the exact original home position but returns to a spot several pixels off each time thereby throwing the DZ off by the same margin:

Original DZ saved:

Manual PT manipulation #1, Cam returns to Home. DZ after returning to Home:

DZ not adjusted or saved. Manual PT manipulation #2, Cam returns to Home. DZ after returning to Home 2nd time:

DZ not adjusted or saved. Manual PT manipulation #3, Cam returns to Home. DZ after returning to Home 3rd time:

EDIT: :point_down:

Additionally, unsure if this is another bug or just a feature omission that no one ever thought to add:

While editing an active DZ, manipulation of the PT via the thumbpad does not produce a “Save” prompt nor does it save the DZ FOV as the new Home Position. The position of the FOV in the DZ screen should lock the Home position to that FOV position and save the edit. Any modifications to the cam PT from within the DZ should automatically trigger a new save prompt. The DZ is what locks in the Home position.
