I’m late to the party.
Has this issue been solved by Wyze yet?
I think many people are realizing the collection of Wyze smart devices (camera, sensors, ectt) can allow us to do many unique things. For us, we found they are perfect as baby monitors. We have them set up in our kids rooms. We also have a nanny that comes almost every day to watch the kids because my wife and I both work and luckily they are still taking naps on most days. I’ve shared the kids bedroom cameras with the nanny so she can see when they wake up, but in doing this I’ve realized there’s no feature to limit the time she has access to them (or at least I can’t find it, it would be great if I’m wrong, please educate me). I’ve checked and it also doesn’t appear that you can set a rule to limit the time either. This means she could theoretically just turn it on from home at night and watch our kids sleeping? or us putting our kids to bed? …Doesn’t seem right. The other option is I have to manually cancel her access every day and then re-enable the next morning? Seems a little ridiculous to have to do that when we are talking about devices labeled as smart devices…that’s a hassle.
Anyway, this seems like a very simple feature to add, I’d be interested to hear ideas from some of the more tech savvy individuals who are likely in this community but here’s my take on it. You put in a option to set a schedule for and individual shared user’s access to the device based on your time zone …something like allow access to the camera from 1pm to 3pm on M-F that you could choose to have as recurring “event” each week until a selected date or indefinitely. You would have the ability to add multiple entries for this too…so if you wanted for some reason them to have different access on Tu/Th than you do on MWF then you could set up a rule for each of those. This would be almost identical to the way you set up a recurring event in a digital calendar. I think it’s simple enough and the correlation to the way digital calendars are used would make the learning curve for user adoption shorter and less painful.
Final thought, I also concur with the many people previously who have suggested different permissions or different levels of permissions for shared users, I think this is a critical component.
