I think a smart plug is a good idea for the future. I don’t routinely do this for my cameras, but it’s something I did for several months after I got my first Wyze Cam, which was a Cam Pan v3. That one had persistent connectivity issues after I got it, and I routed its power through a smart plug because I got tired of going to the Cam to power cycle it every time I tried to access the feed and found it offline. Eventually they released some firmware updates that resolved those issues, and that Cam has consistently been my bettery-behaved Cam Pan v3 (a second one I have is a problem child).
I say all that to say that I think Wyze will probably solve this calibration/Waypoint issue at some point with firmware, but it may take another update or two before that happens. (I’m guessing.)
For whatever it’s worth, this seems promising:
Unless problems are identified with that beta firmware version, I’d expect that to graduate to the production channel within a couple of weeks, and then (depending on how they phase the roll-out) that could take an additional few weeks before a given user actually sees it available.
I’d also note that @ronl4625 mentions a Shortcut Automation earlier in that topic that has been helpful in his case, but if you’re having no luck with recalibrating your Cam Pan v4 right now, then that’s probably of limited utility to you.
