The wemo plugs now need location turned on and I have a problem with that.
Does the wyze plug need me to turn on my location in my phone before using it?
Thanks,
Not the plug specifically, but the Wyze app may ask for location when you set up devices - maybe it does this because to work with the new lock? - but I always turn location off without any issue.
I installed two wires plugs and I do not recall them needing my location. I donāt remember that at all. Thatās something Iām pretty sure I would remember the only thing I remember needing location is the door lock. And thatās for the Geo fencing for auto unlock.
I had to reinstall a plug last week that lost itās marbles, and it did ask to turn on location. I just turned it off after.
Devices that allow automation to turn on or off during the day or during the night need to know the location so the sunrise and sunset times can be calculated.
Yeah, um, except thereās no āsunrise/sunsetā available in the Wyze app, so thatās not a valid reason.
I get that but, and I donāt want to turn this into a Wemo-bash thread, they donāt even let you access the app unless you have ālocationā turned on.
