Anyone knows what the pulsating white light means (circle not the dot)?

I just installed it and it's been allready 20 minutes and it's still pulsating....

Internal battery charge? update?

The doorbell works, but don't know what this means....

It's connected to 24 volt transfo...

My software version is: venus-user 1.69 openmaster 388143

If I am not mistaken, it is signalling that it 'sees' somebody in front of it. I also think that this is a visual clue to someone to use this button to ring the doorbell.

I'm not at home and can't confirm it, but I am still seeing this pulsating white light on my doorbell when I get close to it, and it's been installed at least 18 months now.

@Sinik

When you say you "just installed it", do you mean you have successfully installed the doorbell n the Google Home app?

If so, are you standing in front of your doorbell and getting a pulsing white light ring? If so, it means "Doorbell sensed motion" - "The light ring will pulse white when your doorbell detects motion, like a visitor coming into view of the camera."

Removed it from the home app and re-added it... Now works as intended..
