Firmware update issue

MonicaLea — Sun, 11 Feb 2024 18:55:54 GMT

I've had my doorbell about 3 months now and all has been fine, I've been recharging every couple of weeks with no issue. On this occasion it went completed flat whilst I was at work, I tried to recharge it with no joy but eventually today it was flashing amber and blue indicating it's charging, after just 3-4hrs it's solid blue, I went on the app and was told there's a firmware update, it's now been telling me for the last 30 mins it's still updating, surely it shouldn't take this long.
Does anyone recommend I do something to stop the update and try again?

Turn the doorbell off for at least ten minutes, with the switch on the back of the doorbell, that is under the flap next to the usb charging point.

On powering back, recharge again for at least 8 hours or overnight and then try connecting to the chime again.

should I remove the usb charging wire whilst it's off for 10 mins?

Ok, thanks for trying the above. It has resolved some customers with the error in the past.

Would suggest now contacting the Sky Protect support team.
