I could see some use for this if maybe the Wyze app had access to something like Digital Wellbeing settings on Android, and my expectation would be something like a “Follow phone’s wake/sleep settings” toggle in the Wyze app. Is that the thinking here?
I could imagine the Wyze app essentially posing a question to the user like, “Do you want to dim your Wyze lights when your phone’s bedtime routine starts?” There’s some utility to that, for sure.
What happens when a user has the Wyze app (and, therefore, control of a set of Wyze devices) on more than one mobile device? If Wyze app settings are synchronized to (and stored on) Wyze servers, then how are the Wyze devices to know which of the user’s mobile device settings to pull?
What if a user carries an iPhone but also likes to pull up camera views on an iPad for the larger screen? Would the user have to designate a single mobile device as the “master” for the Wyze app to sync only that phone’s/tablet’s settings? Does iOS synchronize wake/sleep settings across those devices?
Android doesn’t do that, as far as I know. I really don’t know the answer about iOS, but that wouldn’t be my expectation if I chose to use iOS devices. I also would wonder how this would work (like some of the questions above) in a mixed environment where a person uses both Android and iOS.
I think some of these questions have the potential to further the argument for Wyze to improve the way permissions are provisioned for users with shared access. What if spouses have different wake/sleep settings on their phones but share a single Wyze account for the app because that’s the only way both can have full control of the cameras?
Note that I’m not actually expecting answers to all of these questions. I’m just trying to figure out where this could go and using this space to think out loud. I think this is an interesting problem that I don’t expect to be solved here in the Forum, but it’s fun to discuss and learn.
