I don’t understand why my this outage is affecting Wyze Plugs. I have some Leviton Plugs and Smart Switches and when their servers, my internet service, or my WiFi is down, they continue running the schedules I have set.
Return of service estimated some time next year, the only Cloud services engineer is out of town on vacation.

Just kidding (or am I)…
Wyze bulbs have been down all day. I can manually switch the power off and on in one room and they will manually turn on. But cant make adjustments in app to them at all. Cant connect. Just has the no cloud symbol. Another room the manual power off and on doesnt work at all for the bulbs. Also has the no cloud symbol in app for those.
This is getting annoying as this happened last week to when AWS services went down.
Thanks. Been contemplating a Wyze thermostat, but it sounds like it follows the same protocols as the other products. I really like Wyze but we should be able to control devices within our local network. I can live without cameras and lights functioning properly but not my heat and ac!
Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft is designed to function in a sub zero vacuum while encountering 20g’s of force. It failed because of the Florida humidity. Things happen.
Not that I disagree with a word of what you said. Please know that many to most fortune-100 companies in the USA are moving operations to hosted cloud solutions and ridding themselves of on-prem datacenters. With that said, there are different SLAs at play with those services.
The schedules are stored on the Wyze/AWS servers, not the plugs and switches.
There is a beta firmware for the current generation of plugs which allows SOME schedules to be stored on the plugs themselves, but that’s not the same as the schedules configured in RULES.
This is frustrating for me as well. All of my lights are on (6 of them) and the only way to turn them off right now is cycle the power, Having light bulbs route thru a remote server to use them is moronic. I did not know Wyze worked like that. I will be getting another brand as soon as I can.
That doesn’t make sense, it’s not like the devices stream the update files from AWS while flashing. They download, then apply. AWS going down in the middle of an update wouldn’t impact anything other than the device being unable to contact Wyze servers after the update.
