That’s disappointing but unsurprising.
I think that’s the right thing to do at this point.
I’ve read that, too, and I was on that one for months. I finally updated to 4.51.2.0578 last week[1], but only because Wyze Support offered a replacement, so I figured I didn’t have anything to lose by trying, and it didn’t actually make things worse (nor resolve my current issue).
I’m still waiting on that one, too, and sticking with what a Wyze Team member told me well over a month ago.
That definitely seems to be the case, though releasing things without public notice is kind of a troubling development. Is this “the new normal” with Wyze now? I’d think that making a post to their regular engagement channels would be a friendly way to give users a heads-up about changes, but even with the “3.0.5.x” app release a Forum Moderator took notice and commented about it, and that one at least had the version number and accompanying notes posted to the Release Notes & Firmware page even if there was no official announcement elsewhere. Seems like a public announcement, even if minimal, is something that should be on the release checklist.
This is the kind of behavior that reinforces my decision to disable automatic app and firmware updates on Wyze’s stuff.
I had to do it via 4.51.2.0379 because the app wouldn’t do a direct update from 4.51.1.8444. ↩︎
