Flooded with messages on Signal without anything on the Haven log

[saanganik]

I have Haven installed on two phones. Both were inactive last night. Both were activated in the morning and deactivated today evening.

I have been flooded with messages on Signal, supposedly triggered by Haven from one of the two phones during last night and early morning today. There is a complete recording of the whole night and early morning, with nothing remarkable in any of the clips (perhaps it is the sound of the fan in the room).

As I said, Haven was deactivated on both phones and there is nothing on the log of the phone from which these messages are supposed to have come.

I don't know whether it is something related to Haven or something else, but I guess the developers should know.

Also, sometimes there are events on the Haven log, but there is no message on Signal on the receiving phone, even though both the sending and the receiving phones are connected to the Internet.

To add to the above, it may be noted that there is nothing from the other phone, either on Signal or on the Haven log, although both the phones were lying adjacent to each other.

This is a huge problem @n8fr8

Few cases:

• The recording of someone walking down 17 steps contained only the sound of 10 steps.

• Car honked in the middle of the night clearly loud enough to trigger an alert. Next morning there were several 14-second logs of nothing notable around that time. No horn sound recorded.

• Chatting ppl walked by. The recording starts mid-word and fades out, missing the initial part of the conversation.

So it seems the recording begins some delay after the sound triggers. It would be better if Haven were constantly recording the sound, and in the absence of sound discard the uninteresting recording. It would actually be useful to have sound logs start ~5 seconds before the trigger sound occurs (e.g. the conversation in the 3rd bullet could have been more complete, getting louder as ppl approach and then fading as they walk away).
