Same here. I have had my cameras for 3 or 4 months now. Everything was working great until I had to update yesterday. Now I’m having problems.
I researched so so much on which brand of camera I wanted. I heard so many good things about these cameras. After the update, I can’t get the cameras to do what I want. If I hit the “off” button in the app, it turns back on. I unplugged it all night and now I can’t get the camera to turn “on” when I want. Had I known updates cause people problems, I think I would have gone with Eufy.

It’s worse on my v3 pro. I can “soft” toggle it off in my iPhone app. However, I get alerts and recorded video when motion is detected. When I click on the recorded event I see a message that the camera is off! But the on/off indicator in the app shows that it is on. This happens though I turn it off in the app repeatedly. This is a camera prone to false alarms for wind, insects, and ghosts so I don’t want alarms all night and it’s difficult to access so i can’t keep turning it off at the camera.
It is silly and It’s disappointing. All my other cameras, Wyze Cam v3, Wyze Ourdoor, Wyze Cam OG, give me the possibility to put them on a “stand by” OFF. Why not this one? I get home, click OFF. I leave the house, click on the Play button that appears in the middle of the camera image. Is it something out of this world to ask you to add OFF?
The cameras are supposed to be used for remote access, and then to put them in an OFF state they require my presence when, for example, one of my children or grandchildren comes home. I don’t want to spy on the family, my God!!!
Sorry for replying to my self.
First, when I wrote “Why not this one” I meant to say Wyze Cam Pan v3
And I did find how to do it. I just created a Rule (Shorcut) to turns it ON and another Rule to turn it OFF. Works like a charm.
