So I’ve noticed and I’m sure others have the amount of error 90 that your cams seem to have. Well I recently found out when my new flood light cam v3 through an error code 90 that there is no power or reset button on the floodlight cam v3. So I had to throw the breaker in order to get it to reset. Well my Floodlight isn’t the only thing on that circuit. So it was a little alarming that is what I need to do to reset it. I think a power button on it, or a reset button, or even just telling people they need to install a switch would’ve a big benefit. So they don’t have to also reset half their plugs in their house every time there is an error 90.
You can’t reset it through the app because it’s an error 90. It doesn’t realize its even got a flood light attached to it.

My problem is no one told me I needed to install a switch in it: I thought for sure there would have been a reset button on it seeing as it’s hardwired
The OP doesn’t have their Spotlight on a switch. Neither do I.
It sounds as if he or she doesn’t have a switch for the light. Thus the need to trip the breaker…
There is no switch. The floodlight with camera that wyze offers is a hard wired setup. It mounts like a light would mount. But I didn’t need a switch because it’s motion activated flood light. So why would I need to be turning it off and on? And the instructions. Didn’t say to put in a switch.
Don’t have those, so another angle to this may be to try to eliminate those where you are.
Can you try moving your router closer to the device to see if that helps?
Do you have any problems with other devices (and thus your router may have grown intermittent?) I had to replace my sister’s router, but it was obvious she had problems with her 2.4 GHz band because multiple manufacturer’s devices were dropping offline periodically. 
I would love to try and not have the error code 90. However I have cameras as close as 10ft from the router to about 150ft from the router thanks to repeaters. And the other night I had error code 90 on every single one of them. So it’s not the distance from the router. And none of my other products have an error 90 or randomly drop.

Mine is circuit breaker only too, as I don’t really have a need to turn it on or off unless it malfunctions, or I decide to replace it. It is the only thing on that circuit breaker tho.

Why would I need a switch to it? Then you would be turning the camera off when the lights not on? What would be the point in that? Does every floodlight you have also have a camera on it? Do you have switches on any other cameras you have? Or are they plugged directly into electric outlets?
Only because computers (and make no mistake, all of these devices are computers) occasionally hang and need to be powered off and on again.

I’d be interested in understanding why you’re turning your motion sensor flood light on and off so frequently?
You said you turn if off and on ONLY “when it goes offline”. They didn’t get the point I suppose.

I don’t understand the fuss of them having it on a switch and why. Ours is. We replaced the front porch light with the floodlight cam so it being hardwired, it went to the switch the porch light was wired to. It doesn’t mean they are necessarily turning their camera/floodlight on and off, just stating it’s connected to a switch. Probably not realizing they’d have to explain the how’s and why’s about it. If you have a switch, flip it off then back on…if you don’t then try another reset method. Trying to find an answer to my problem and I ran across y’all being more worried about why theirs is on a switch.
Work smarter not harder. Common sense is free.
Their troubleshooting helped me, I flipped my switch off for a few minutes and flipped it back on, problem solved. My point is …why worry yourself why they have a switch and you don’t and find the best solution for your issue. 
Thank you so much for not paying attention to the original post, which is why doesn’t wyze either include a power button on it or say to install on a switch in the instructions. That was the original post. And you thought you were the smart one. Lol
My floodlight rarely goes offline but when it does I have to power-cycle it. If I’m not at home it’s dead in the water.
Instead of pushing everyone to get a smart switch, the next version of floodlight should have a remote power switch that can be controlled by app, so that users can have an option to kill the power to the floodlight/camera and nothing else.
The better alternative of course is for the camera to never go offline in the first place, then there’s no need for this…
