I just tested and disabled two different things:
- Lock Bolt v2’s Settings ➜ Notifications ➜ Device Notifications
- Lock Bolt v2’s Settings ➜ Volume ➜ Alarm ➜ Volume
The latter is what annoys me more, because I don’t need to hear the lock beeping at me whenever someone unlocked it 5 minutes ago, so I thought maybe that’s what you meant. That’s why I tested both.
Regardless, I still received notifications from the app at the 5-minute mark after unlocking Lock Bolt v2, so I think that’s a bug. (Turning off Alarm Volume did disable the 5-minute beep, but that seems to be another one of those all-or-nothing settings, so I turned it back on because I want to be aware of other potential alarms.)
I also think this is another reason they should properly implement Android notification channels within the app, because that could be one way to allow users more flexibility with notification management, though I don’t know what the iOS equivalent, if any, would be. Additionally, I imagine they could give the users more options within the app about what notifications to receive, much like they do with Smart Detections on Cams. I’m in favor of more flexibility versus these all-or-nothing settings.
I’ll log this and open a ticket. I suggest you do the same to help get this on their radar for a possible fix.
2026-01-05T19:54:33Z Edit: The response I received after opening a ticket included this from the automated “Wyze-E” agent:
Please note that while you can turn off most notifications in the lock’s settings by toggling off “Device Notifications,” there are certain critical warning notifications that cannot be disabled. These include notifications for lock jammed, failed to lock, failed to unlock, calibration warning, device offline, battery low warning, and failed entry lockout.
I imagine—based in part on the 
icon seen in the Events log for Lock Bolt v2 (e.g., “ Unlocked for 5 minutes”)—that Wyze considers the 5-minute unlock notification to be a “critical warning notification”, and that’s probably why it can’t be turned off. I can certainly see why some people might not consider that to be “critical” in the same way as a lock jam, low battery, failed entry lockout, etc., though. I think the developers should reconsider what qualifies as “critical”.
Wyze-E also included this suggestion:
If you are receiving notifications outside of these critical alerts, please double-check the notification settings in both the Wyze Lock Bolt v2 device settings and the Wyze app to ensure all non-critical notifications are turned off.
I don’t see any distinction in Lock Bolt v2’s UI between “critical” and “non-critical” notifications, so this advice doesn’t make any sense at all and serves only to frustrate the user with a fruitless search for options that don’t exist.
Incidentally, while looking at this issue, I’m also seeing that Account ➜ Notifications ➜ Push Notifications ➜ Devices shows unchecked boxes for Lock Bolt v2 and Palm Lock even though I have notifications enabled within their individual UI modules, and I’ve been receiving notifications for those locks even when those boxes are unchecked. Something definitely seems wrong with this behavior.
