I realize that the moderators here are volunteers but I think that at times they take there duties too seriously. Just because a similar question had been asked 9 months ago why can’t it be posted again as a new topic. A lot has changed with Wyze since November 2018. I just received a message an hour ago that my post was being locked and any further posts on this subject be attached to a 2018 post. Like most people that visit this forum I own a number of Wyze products, many that didn’t exist in 2018, and only post when I have a serious question and hope to get an answer as soon as possible. While am obviously miffed that my post was locked, I have observed this type of response from moderators on other posts as well. ---

Emily Postnews would have told you to combine with the old thread. The proliferation of similar threads by people that ignore older threads just leads to a very cluttered forum.
