Re: Explainable power dip between on and off

If the power LED (turning from green to red to indicate 'off', instead of just plain turning off) draws 300mA, that cam would make a nice table lamp.

Indicator LEDs don't need to draw more than a couple of milliamps, 10mA if you want a nice bright one. Whatever the NEST cam is doing, it's not actually turning off.
