Model: TD21  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.0

Having taken the doorbell down for charging, it is continually detecting our movement in the house and announcing it via Google Home.

 

Is there an on/off switch that will turn the device off while charging and back on when I put it back up again?

  @ttttp Thank you.  I did wonder.  I struggle with TP's total lack of explanation at times.

Wouldn’t it be easier to simply block the doorbell camera? For instance, you could position it facing downward on a table, which would also make charging more convenient.


That being said, this seems like a practical feature. I’ll move your post to the Feature Requests section to see if other users share this idea.
