Hey @whip
Going back to near the beginning when Wyze had just basic cams, plugs, bulbs and sensors, I suggested that the best strategy with this… stuff… was to take advantage of Wyze’s 30-day return/refund policy on new purchases if you find yourself sucked into a troubleshooting vortex you want no part of.
VDB Pro and supporting software is no longer ‘basic.’ With advanced features comes increased complexity and greater possibility for imperfect/erratic performance.
Some folks slap the thing up with double-sided tape and everything just works - and continues to work - flawlessly.
Others will feel the pull of the troubleshooting vortex from the get-go.
I can see you’re making a good faith effort (and are willing to do more, like study an in-depth pdf manual) to adapt the device to your particular ‘use case.’
Your efforts, performed in good faith, may or may not be rewarded. No sure way to predict.
So, it’s good to know from the outset how much troubleshooting hell you’re willing to endure.
Think of it as a provisional purchase that must demonstrate its worthiness. A good faith effort still requires some time, but having predetermined how much, you avoid the sinkhole it can sometimes become.
