I just received an email from Roku advertising smart cams, doorbells, lighting, etc. The items look exactly like Wyze products. Has Wyze partnered with Roku to sell Wyze products under the Roku name? ---

Yes, however they are not “Wyze” brand products. They are a different product. The two product lines will not work together. ---

You might want to do a bit more digging into their device, cam, app & subscription features before you make a decision solely based on the shelf price of the hardware. The hardware is just the gateway into the ecosystem. You are buying much more than a cam in a box when it comes to IoT. They could give it away free and it would still be worth what you paid if isn’t properly supported. ---

So if I’m hearing this right, we should not expect our Wyze cams to work natively on a Roku streaming device anytime soon, if ever? I was really hoping that they would start playing well together. Is there a hardware limitation on the current Wyze cams that would prohibit streaming them to Roku devices? I can’t imagine there is. So there’s hope that there will be a Wyze app on Roku at some point? Or that they Wyze cams might work on whatever the Roku cams are using at some point? ---

Currently, we were informed that the Roku FW will not Work on Wyze Devices and Wyze FW will not work on Roku Devices. In addition, these are two separate products which are unique to those vendors. But anything could happen as this commercial partnership grows. ---

Yah, been seeing those ROKU/un-Wyze products more and more frequently, even at Bestbuy and Walmart. Seems like the situation is ripe for customer confusion. So Wyze apparently has not grown big enough/influential enough to lock down its industrial design with its supplier-manufacturers? It would be one thing for a podunk Chinesium brand to sell identical looking products, but surely ROKU would honor Wyze IP protections, if they exist, no? ---

That’s such a cop-out. Circling the wagons for the company’s sake doesn’t change that the look is EXACTLY the same so the typical non-researching John Q Consumer will think they are compatible, and why wouldn’t they? By the way, lots of Impala parts work on other Chevy, Pontiac, Oldsmobile cars so your analogy is weak at best and misguided at least. ---
