This is interesting information. I haven’t given a lot of thought to Wyze Home Monitoring, but I can see how that could factor into someone’s decision. Thank you for sharing this.
That’s my understanding, as well. Not only that, if you want to share SimpliSafe app access with someone else (spouse, child, neighbor), you also have to share your owner account credentials, because they still haven’t implemented a provision for sharing/delegating account access.
With SimpliSafe I believe you get push notifications from the app only if you’re logged in (and the login must be the owner account), but they also provide a means for configuring SMS notifications within the app, and you can set these up for users (phone numbers) who aren’t logged in. These are actually kind of handy. I get text messages whenever my base station loses/regains its Wi-Fi connection (when I reboot the ISP gateway) and whenever a sensor has an error or is restored (usually a low battery issue).
