Same here.

Mine is marked offline in the app as well, but it still works fine. I can control it in the app, it shows the correct lock/unlock status, Auto Unlockā€™s, and info displays in settings.

Same thing happened to me. I called support and they had no idea that happened or what to do about it. This is the 2nd issue with a Wyze product where it seems the company doesnā€™t have a clue about the problem. Sure would be nice if they were a bit more proactive

Thank you, the Wyze lock has been showing as ā€œOfflineā€ in the app for several weeks now, I thought an app update would resolve it (but not as of this posting!) as it still appears to function normally except for that. Interestingly enough I also added a widget on iOS for the Wyze lock and the widget does report either locked or unlocked (after a short delay). Itā€™s just the app that shows ā€œOfflineā€ in the list of devices.

Yes, I am sorry you are experiencing the issue. The lock should function fine but the app reports it as ā€˜offlineā€™. We hope to have a fix for this soon.

This is affecting my door lock - (showing itā€™s off line but still seems to be working, at least while at home) and my sprinkler controller. Unfortunately with the Sprinkler controller, I canā€™t do anything with it from the app. All my cameras are working though, wired and wireless. Thermostat is working too. Same network.

Mine shows offline also, but locks and unlocks from the phone just fine. The Blutooth logo on the top left, is it supposed to be lit ? It is always unlit (pale grey), Iā€™m wondering if this is why it doesnā€™t auto-unlock when I get home.

I think the blue tooth logo is fineā€¦just means youā€™re in range with your device. You might try recalibrating the lock to see if that gets the auto lock working.

I just bought wyze lock today. And I also see offline on main screen. When I go inside it shows status correctly.

I am sorry you are experiencing this, we are still actively working on this issue and hope to have it resolved soon. For most, the Wyze Lock does seem to work properly still but appears as offline in the app. If you are experiencing different please let me know.

when I come back home it doesnā€™t auto unlock. It shows offline, but I can unlock it from the app. So when I come home, I have to take out my phone, go to the app, and unlock it.

when Iā€™m in blutooth range, itā€™s supposed to look for my phone, I donā€™t think itā€™s doing that.

I have read several of your replies and appreciate your expertise.

I am experiencing the same problem with my lock showing itā€™s offline, but with a bluetooth logo in the wifi fan logoā€™s place. I have replaced batteries, rebooted gateway connectivity, re-calibrated lock, rebooted home wifi and checked for the most updated firmware (which I have). I still have the bluetooth logo and lock shows offine with no wifi connectivity.

Please advise.

I have been notified by support that they are aware of this bug and are working on a solution. I have two issues with that. One is itā€™s been several days an still no answer. I do get email updates telling me they are working on it. Based on others in this forum the problem has been ongoing for quite some time and I would have expected a resolution by now. And two, why do we have to be the beta testers for the new releases? Seems to me any new releases should be thoroughly vetted before being released. I have another product/app giving me trouble as well and Iā€™m sure itā€™s tied to a new release.

Another one here. Coincidently my batteries for Wyze Lock were ~ 18%. Figured that was the issue causing Lock to read ā€œofflineā€. Replaced batteries no change. Rebooted gateway, router - no change. Uninstalled & installed lock & it showed online last night. This morning offline. I just assumed it wouldnā€™t work if I was away so I didnā€™t try it. After reading here I tried it & it says itā€™s locking / unlocking - but who knows? Iā€™m not home.

Hopefully this is fixed soon because it would be nice to know if my lock is truly offline or just a glitch in the software. If the lock actually died & really did go offline, there is no way to know; maybe until you find yourself locked out.

Iā€™ve had the lock about 6 mos & have been happy with it other than this. It would be nice if Wyze would remove the troubleshooting steps from their website regarding what to do if your lock goes offline, until this issue is resolved. As, Iā€™ve wasted a lot of time trying to fix this issue prior to finding this forum & seeing itā€™s a software issue

The current issue came up with the release of the 2.43 version of the Wyze app and we are aiming for a fix in the next version.

Thatā€™s good to hear! Iā€™m a new Wyze lock owner and it was really sad to get this issue as soon as I installed this today. After chatting with support for about an hour they couldnā€™t resolve the issue so before returnign the product I figured Iā€™d check some forums online and here I am.
Please make sure you also address the battery issue. Apart from not being able to see the online status, the battery will not move from 23% even though we used the OEM Duracell batteries that came with the unit and tried numerous of other new alkaline batteries. I hope you guys can resolve these issues soon because I would really like to not return it.
