Hi there, @walterspy. Thank you for letting us know of what you’ve ran into here. The Event History Timeline feature is a permanent feature that we have in the Ring App now, but I will make sure to pass this along to the appropriate team.
For now, continue operating your app as you were, and keep in mind that the timeline feature may not always allow you to disable it. Our team is always working hard to make improvements and ensure that we keep our neighbors happy. Thanks for your feedback!
