I wonder why they chose not to integrate HomeKit Secure Video into their new wired doorbell. Maybe to force you to purchase their subscription plan? Either way, my search for a good vertical view HKSV continues!

    It needs a battery backup. Sometimes when the power goes out briefly, it doesn’t boot up again. In the winter, this could be disastrous if you aren’t home. I worry when on vacation and constantly check the temp at home.

      Mine doesn’t always reconnect to WiFi but has always booted up after a power outage. It could use some improvement to retry WiFi connection after some time. Seems on my setup that the ecobee boots faster than my Orbi router.

        Mine has failed to boot three times now after a black/brown out.
