The front cover plate 708 therefore includes a button opening 710 configured to expose the button top 706 of the button assembly on the front cover plate 708. The button top 706 has a first diameter that is substantially smaller than a second diameter of the opening 710 of the front cover plate 708. The button top 706 can move vertically in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the button opening 710 e. g. , in a downward direction into or out of the device housing 702 when a user presses on the button top 706. The button assembly includes a flexible edge that surrounds the button top 706 and fills a gap between the button opening 710 and the button top 706. The flexible edge enables a range of motion for movement of the button top 706 with respect to the button opening 710 of the front cover plate 708. In some implementations, the flexible edge of the button assembly forms a water tight seal with an edge of the button opening 710 of the front cover plate 708, and prevents water from entering the device housing 702 via the opening 710. In some implementations also in FIGS. 9F, 9G, 11D and 11E, the front cover plate 708 includes a camera opening 712 configured to expose the lens assembly 704. The lens assembly 704 includes a cover glass 705 configured to protect the lens assembly 704.

Thus, the low powered nodes using low power communication protocols are able to send and/or receive messages across the entire smart home network 202, as well as over the Internet 162 to the server system 164. In some implementations, the mesh network enables the server system 164 to regularly receive data from most or all of the smart devices in the home, make inferences based on the data, facilitate state synchronization across devices within and outside of the smart home network 202, and send commands to one or more of the smart devices to perform tasks in the smart home environment. As described, the spokesman nodes and some of the low powered nodes are capable of “listening. ” Accordingly, users, other devices, and/or the server system 164 may communicate control commands to the low powered nodes. For example, a user may use the electronic device 166 e. g.

Three were arrested at the time, but a fourth got away. After the homeowner gave Arcadia detectives some Ring video clips, police identified and arrested the last suspect. Hammond, Indiana, also put up money to offer Ring cameras at a discount. Lt. Steve Kellogg said the partnership was a natural move for a city that already uses cameras to read license plates. “You cannot enter or leave our city without … being captured on film,” he said, adding that doorbell cameras are the next logical step. “We thought, ‘Well, the only angle we don’t really have is cameras right by the homes. '”He said sharing video is voluntary. Green Bay, Wisconsin, gets one free camera for every 20 people who sign up for the Ring app through a city link. Initially, police required recipients of those free cameras to agree to provide any video police requested. It dropped the requirement after The Associated Press began reporting this story.
