Possible explanation weird behaviour #69

Hi guys. I have been browsing the Homey forum about the issues with the doorbell. Some Can take a snapshot, Some can't etc.

When searching for some kind of solution, I came along a repository with this interesting code:

https://github.com/dgreif/ring/blob/master/api/ring-camera.ts

When reading this code, quit a few things became clear to me. For example:

Look, I'm not sure if it is all true, but maybe worth looking into? I will try some of the options tomorrow, because I also get a empty screenshot with a battery device.

This, and together with the out of sync initial settings when adding the device, might explain the strange behaviour of some device and the difference between battery and non battery powered devices.
