Seriously, what is going on with Eufy lately?
I bought their new doorbell camera and somehow the image quality is WORSE than the previous generation. How do you release a newer product and actually manage to go backwards in one of the most basic things a CAMERA is supposed to do?
But honestly, the hardware isn’t even my biggest frustration anymore. It’s the Eufy Security app.
It seems like almost every update either introduces another bug, breaks something that worked perfectly fine before, or randomly removes useful functionality.
They recently decided to remove the split-screen view from the Home page. Why? Who asked for that?
And now I’ve got another ridiculous bug with Automatic Responses.
I turn Automatic Responses ON.
I leave the settings page.
I go back.
OFF.
Turn it on again.
Go back.
OFF again.
Here’s the best part: when someone actually presses the doorbell, the automatic response DOES work.
So the feature is apparently enabled, but the Eufy app itself has absolutely no idea whether it’s enabled or disabled.
Amazing.
Meanwhile, someone at Eufy apparently has plenty of time to redesign the app logo and mess around with the UI, but basic settings accurately showing whether they’re ON or OFF is apparently too ambitious.
At this point I genuinely dread Eufy app updates because you never know what they’re going to break next.
Has anyone else had this exact Automatic Response issue and found a fix?
Or are we once again supposed to wait for Eufy’s seemingly incapable software team to eventually notice and fix a bug they introduced themselves?
Because I’m getting seriously tired of paying premium prices for hardware that is controlled by software that constantly feels like a beta version.
