I don’t use the app’s widgets for reasons I’ve stated elsewhere, but I appreciate your follow-up on this. I just tried something to see what would happen.
Added a camera from Devices to Favorites.- Dropped a Favorite Device 3×3 widget on my home screen.
- Tapped Add a favorite! on the widget and selected the camera. Note that the screen where you make this selection says “Select a device” at the top. This is key.
- Saw that the home screen widget showed the camera I selected.
- Navigated back to the Wyze app and removed the device from Favorites.
- Went back to the home screen and saw that the selected device no longer appeared in the widget.
This is a design failure for sure. If the screen where I select the device for the widget actually says (as in #3 above) “Select a device”, then as a user I expect to be able to select from any device I can see on the Devices tab in the app. Having this feature confined only to items present on the Favorites tab is just shortsighted and dumb.
I’ve already suggested in a current Wishlist topic that this is an area of the app that needs to be addressed in future development.
