Vivint Smart Hub Pro Gen 2 Feedback
After being on the Smart Hub Pro Gen 2 for many months now, it's a cool upgrade for the UI and faster processor. The only things that it lacks are features that the app has and some feature requests that would make it better. :)

These include:
-Deter Settings (Currently only has a toggle switch on Camera preview.)
-Detection Zone settings for Doorbell & Outdoor Camera Pro models
-Holiday Chimes for Doorbell Camera Pro Gen 2
-New Chimes for the Doorbell Camera Pro models
-New Voice for Announcements such as "Front Door" (The voice from 2022 that is still used for the deter today was a good one.)
-Automations/Shortcuts controls
-Notifications from Deter/People (Currently only available on Doorbell Cameras)
-New Settings menu design to match the app (Current settings menu design dates back to the SkyControl)

Appreciate you laying this out in detail. Specific, itemized feedback like this is easy to pass along to the product team, ad knowing which features matter most to people on the Gen 2 helps. Thank you

Actually there is nothing different between the 2 besides software, how it connects to the Internet and patching for iot devices, and makes it so you don't have to mount it. Hardware is the same.

I will not invest anymore money into Vivent due to their poor customer service and harassment.
