Replacement for WYZE Devices after APP 3.0 has reuined Wyze

Their monitoring service is actually pretty decent, and their stuff is easy to set up, but it’s a closed system, so it doesn’t play well with others. Their e-mail support is on par with Wyze’s (so…not great), and their approach to security best practices with regard to multi-user provisioning and permissions vs. sharing master accounts is about what you get with Wyze, too. (Follow that link only if you’re interested in another long trail of empty promises and frustration.)

I’ve commented elsewhere on the Forum that I think Tapo C120 beats Wyze Cam v4 on a number of points in a head-to-head match-up. My new-ish Tapo smart plugs and few-years-old Kasa smart switches haven’t given me any significant problems, and the only reason I have Kasa switches is because Wyze wasn’t yet offering them when I wanted them, otherwise I probably would’ve been in the Wyze ecosystem for those, too; I just didn’t want to wait.
