Wyze doesn’t usually chime in here as this is primarily a user-to-user forum. I can answer your questions though…
The “issue” is that customers don’t read or understand the product info before purchasing. Wyze Lock Bolt is not an IOT (Internet-connected) device. It was purpose-built to satisfy users’ security concerns and requests for a non-IOT deadbolt lock with local-only smart features. Wyze has not indicated plans to change the connectivity aspects of the Lock Bolt design. However, it is possible to create an add-on gateway, hence the reason this Wishlist request/topic exists. If Wyze decides to move forward with this request, it will not happen soon as their priority this year is geared towards cams.
Wyze Lock + Keypad bundle is an IOT Internet and WiFi-connected device and a better suited alternative to most of the use cases posted in this topic.
A separate Wishlist topic exists that requests features of both Lock and Lock Bolt be combined into a new IOT product: Integrated Lock & Lock Bolt
For reference, some of the Lock Bolt info from the Wyze storefront:
