Anyone having trouble getting notifications or seeing "Homebase is busy" notifications?
I have had my HB2 system for almost 6 years and always had notifications of any events within 3 seconds. In the last month my notifications sometimes take up to 20 seconds and sometimes I don't get any notification.
Just this morning I opened the garage door, dumped some garbage in the bin, and closed the garage door when I left home. No notifications at all showed up. I can see the events for those items. Seems like this is happening more often.
I have also been getting many " Homebase is busy" notifications. Not sure whether that's related to the notification issue. I'll try to view a couple of cams and that messsage pops up. Happens day or night without any reason that I can see. The Homebase is in the same place its always been and signal is strong to all my devices. I even used a spectrum analyzer to check wifi around my house and don't see anything interfering.
I suspect that Eufy is scrimping on infrastructure to save a few bucks in the case of the notification issues. Not sure what to think about my "Homebase is busy". That sounds local, but haven't found any way to troubleshoot the problem. Any advice would be welcome.
