Hello, I have an issue with the Ring app in SmartThings hub on my fridge. When someone rings, the app opens and shows the camera view (which is good), but never turns off (which is not good). If I don't come to the fridge and turn it off manually, it would stay for hours. Can you please help me to fix it, or update the app with a fix? Thank you.

Hi there, Thanks so much for posting about this. I can certainly understand the concern with your ring app not shutting off. Have you tried resetting the Family Hub or power cycling the refrigerator? To reset the Family Hub, you can follow the steps in the link below. To power cycle the refrigerator, there is a switch for the panel located inside at the top of the top-right door. There is a small panel you will need to push open to find the switch inside. After turning the refrigerator back on again, give it time to boot up before trying the panel again.
