Yeah, it seems to be an issue that Wyze cannot solve or will not solve due to some untold “hardware” limitation. It is a highly suspect reason when the hardware wasn’t limited before the September software update reduced it. I have my own theories, but that is unsubstantiated speculation.
At any rate, they have proposed external chimes. Meh. I would prefer an external remote outdoor or attic siren.
There seems to be a security \ accessibility issue with the hub because Wyze has consistently kept this device completely isolated from the rest of their ecosystem as it pertains to rules, triggers, and actions as well as Alexa or Home. I am guessing adding chimes or a siren are problematic to this historical systemic isolation as well.
At any rate, they have bigger problems since their last update bricked or fubar’d a great deal of hubs. I’m fearful of touching mine or adding anything as they have now begun to pull affected units back in for forensic autopsies. I’m just watching and waiting for now. But the volume still sucks.
But, there is one workaround I am going to try. A bit more clicks than just arm and disarm, but it is really an Ingenious idea. Give it a read:
