I'm assuming this is only on normal eero mode where it's acting as the gateway device?  My setup is bridge mode due to the  fact I need certain static route and ddns features.

All my devices are showing as idle when I know this not to be the case.

Does it take time to update within the app?

Edit - 2 hours later and now it's working!

I still only show Idle and I have 3 streaming sources running at this time. App installed about 3 1/2 hours ago now. I'm not running in bridge mode..

Thanks! I logged a ticket with support.

My app also shows "Idle" for the vast majority of my devices; a couple of them do show activity.  This is clearly wrong in my case because three of my devices are nestcams which are continuously streaming videos (and I've checked that there is motion in the videos :-)).  I'm not in bridge mode.

Got this response:

At the moment this feature is very new and the way it is reflecting the data use on devices is often under-reported. Our engineers are looking into ways to make the data more accurate as well as more intuitive for different kinds of devices

Thanks for the response.

I've opened the eero app on my phone and watched the bandwidth usage of one of my my nest cam while I was actively waving my hand in front of it.  The eero app showed it as idle.  

On observing the bandwidth on the app while doing a speed test on my computer, it seems that the data that the app shows is an average over a very short recent window.  It would be good if one could see some history which would actually help in debugging network issues. Ideally I'd like to see a bandwidth usage graph over the last hour (at least).

I agree, this feature should be available in bridge mode as well.  Historical information for each device would also be extremely helpful.
