–EDIT– I just saw that the following issues in this post are actually apparently related to the AWS IoT Maintenance - 8/5/20 News from Wyze important
I noticed this weird status thing on some of my lights too.
Also, more importantly for me, all of my sensors are malfunctioning, both motion and contact sensors. Last accurately logged function on any of my sensors was 8/5/2020 8:55pm MST. No sensors have worked since then. I’ve tested them all, and I have at least 20 sensors.
My sensors are split between two sensor bridges in 2 different cameras. I tried:
- resetting both cameras
a) no change - I pulled the bridge out and put it back in
a) no change - I reset the cameras again after removing and reinserting the bridge
a) no change - I pulled the bridge out, reset the cameras, then put the bridge back in after they rebooted,
a) no change - Force stopping the app and re-oppening
a) no change - Removed the device and tried to pair the sensor back to the bridge again
a) Still no status changes (but it did pair correctly).
Around 11:20pm it started showing the crossed out cloud icon on some switches, then suddenly change back and show the last status. It repeated this multiple times. Then I saw that some of the sensors had updated their logs. Now, while I’ve been typing this out, 8:55pm was no longer the last logged status update. Those sensors now showed the last logged status update was 9:23pm, and a different one showed 9:24pm now. That was at least a 2 hour delay on that status log, and it still hasn’t shown any of the status changes since 9:24pm for any of these sensors, including when I tested them all, nor did it ever run the automation rules I had set up, nor the notifications it was supposed to send…it just ignored them.
Bridge Status lights on both bridges have always gone solid blue and says it is working, but it is lying.
Every other device can work. Lights work, plugs work, cams work, both in the app and through Google or Alexa. Sensors are all malfunctioning…as in their last state is frozen. Some sensors were open when the problem hit, and some were closed when the problem hit and no matter what I do their state is frozen in that position.
Perhaps it’s unrelated to the app version, but everything has been working totally fine until this evening after the app update on my main phone. I tried a different device which still had the old app version on it, and it didn’t make a difference using the previous app version (2.12.3 vs 2.12.30).
Tests run with the following:
WyzeBeta: v2.12.30
Both Cams: 4.9.6.156
Plugin Version: 1.2.6.47
Both Bridges: 0.0.0.33
Couldn’t get any sensors to work tonight. Internet is fine (other Wyze devices work, the cameras the bridges are on are working), the bridges show a solid blue light, but no sensors are working suddenly out of the blue perhaps just coincidentally after the app update, but still a critical issue.
