If it is documented in the manual[0][1] is it a "bug?" I think the design is poor (bad default WiFi password, WiFi always on, inverting sensors with no sanity checks) but this is how it was designed to work, it is officially documented as doing so.
I guess it boils down to a definition of the term "bug." But I feel like a lot of the knee-jerk responses (and voting) didn't read the article carefully enough.
It is a core design weakness rather than a "bug" (implying an error) in an actual good design. I think the distinction is subtle but it is there.
Not having any limits on that invert setting is definitely a security/safety bug.
The password is a level of incompetence beyond what you'd call a bug. It's clearly following a design decision that was imposed by someone with zero security experience.
