Yet another reason to like the safe. The heavier the better. Heavier means stronger. Now I have 2 (maybe) reasons to buy one.
When will the safe actually be in stock and ready to ship?
What I want to know is what is the operating temperature range? This would be perfect to secure items in my Jeep, whether guns or other stuff that I donāt want to carry on a bike/walk or leave exposed when the top is off.
Jeep owners are constantly looking for good, secure storage solutions.
You cannot open remotely with the App, you have to be within Bluetooth range to open the safe from the App, but, you can create an individual PIN for your wife. You can also load up to 20 finger prints. All saved directly on the device and not in the cloud.
It also comes with 2 keys so you could give your wife one.
Available now, I made my order the day of release and had the order 2 days later.
Thanks for info. I didnāt see it on Amazon. Assume I have to order directly from Wyze?
Thanks! I missed that when I looked before. This would potentially be indoors, technically, so it just might work.
Wyze Store via web/app is the only place I know that sells them at this time.
I completely disagree. You can want firearms to just disappear, but they arenāt going to. Since they are going to be here, Iād like for people to keep them safely locked away. Donāt keep a firearm in your nightstand drawer, keep it safely locked away, in safe like this.
With the reliability of the Wyze products I currently have, I donāt think this will be a purchase for me.
I only own 10-15 wyze products. I will say that the price points definitely opened the door for me to get into smart home devices. However, I sincerely regret purchasing wyze products after my ~2 years of ownership.
From what Iāve seen, The hardware itself is fairly reliable, assuming one of the updates donāt break your device (seems to be a 50/50 shot anymore) or the batteries dieing donāt brick it (seriously how did those v1 Wyze Sense modules make it through any QA process?). Heck, I just found out today from playing around, once you share your lock with another wyze account, you canāt actually unshare it in anyway that I could figure out from within the Android app. It just gives you a warning that the other person will lose access, then whether you continue or cancel it just keeps on sharing it. So, you know, thatās cool. I canāt imagine ābugsā like that with something like a gun safe.
Mostly, itās just absolutely laughable QA on the firmware that is dragging this company down in my opinion.
I knowā¦ Why donāt I post bug reports and logs for these problems instead of complaining on the forums? Well, for one I donāt get paid by Wyze to QA their products. I bought a product that should be reliable. Second, this isnāt some open source community project. Again, these are retail products being sold as functional items. Itās not incumbent on a consumer to troubleshoot their purchased product for a company.
The fact that anyone, from a business sense, went āWell, we keep bricking devices and are having reliability issues. You know what device we should roll out next? A gun safe.ā
I really wish I could have been in that meeting just for the shock laughs.
Seriously, if this product actually sellsā¦ I hope the people buying plan on just using a key if they plan on being able to access the gun is they ever actually need it. Even if I was still interested in purchasing Wyze products, this would be a hard pass from me.
You must think we are really dumb.
First, Wyze invited the conversation about guns with the post Why We Made a Gun Safe. The argument centers upon safety.

I canāt believe you made a gun safe thats unlockable from the same Wyze app that tons kids use on their parents phone every day to wave to their pet, or play with the lights. Trusting parents to use a new or different pin that their curious kid canāt guess is incredibly stupid and naive of your company. Itās a foreseeable tragedy waiting to happen. Now quick, delete my warning so it wonāt be used in a negligence lawsuit against you by grieving parents. Unlocking a gun with a four digit code in an app kids use daily? Disgusting. At the very least, get rid of that feature. Or if you must have it, give the safe a separate app. Gun owners arenāt always responsible parents which is why kids access firearms - even the oneās supposedly locked up, kept safe - and harm themselves and others every single week. What you are doing is next level stupidity. A four digit pin on a parents phone! I am shocked by the recklessness of your greed.
[mod edit]
The sad fact is that you guys are about to launch the most dangerous gun safe on the marketā¦ a gun that can be unlocked from an app that many many kids use on their parents phones every dayā¦ to check the front door, or check on a pet with a Wyze cam, or to turn on the lights or play with colors. People use the Wyze app on shared devices too, like a family iPad everyone can access. You must not have kids if you donāt think kids can guess a four digit pin their parents use. Your gun safe is a tragedy waiting to happen.
The Most Dangerous Gun Safe in Americaā¦ you donāt think the media is going to love that story? Trust me, they will. And I hope it kills this product and costs you guys plenty of business from sensible families [mod edit]
[mod edit] Thatās the culture here on the forum and thatās the same culture that enabled Wyze to design The Most Dangerous Gun Safe in America. The gun safe kids can unlock from inside an app they use every day. Tell your PR agency to get readyā¦ heck you probably think the publicity will be good for sales. You really donāt understand the danger and the backlash thatās headed your way. But at least itās better than waiting for a kid to crack your safe and cause harm.

Perhaps you let your children have unrestricted access to your phone, but most [mod edit] people donāt. My phone, and my daughterās phone pins are kept secret from children. They have their own phones.
The SAFEST way to raise children, is to set rules and boundaries, and bring them up to obey. Just because some parents donāt [mod edit] doesnāt mean the rest of us shouldnāt use things to make our homes more safe. You have unprotected kitchen knives. Arenāt you worried about your kids grabbing one and running about the neighborhood creating havoc.

Can the Wyze safe be mounted vertically on the wall? If so, what holds the weapon in place when the lid opens? And would it be easy to grab the gun grip?
I received this safe a few days ago and decided to try it before I posted about it. I need to return it. The biometric part only works every fifth time or so. Adding additional fingers is useless because it will not recognize anything other than the first finger after the first day. The biometric locks you out having you to enter the code or it will sound a barely audible alarm. Once you open the door, you cannot relock it without slamming it closed at least three times. Also, when the door opens, it gives a very loud beep and whirring sound (much louder than the stupid alarm). I am very disappointed in this after having such high hopes for it. YMMV
Story checks out. This all just sounds like another way of saying āmade by Wyzeā.
I donāt have small children in my house, but thought of this also. For the app to unlock the safe, you have to manually enter a code to unlock it which is different from the code on the safe itself. So even if your kids can unlock your phone, they would need this second PIN to unlock the safe.
