When I first started reading this topic, I kind of wondered what the point was, but I think @08-glare-earfuls’s question is valid, and I also like this comment:
It reminds me that other security companies allow users to opt into SMS alerts (SimpliSafe specifically comes to mind, because they do this), so even though I’m not (currently) a Cam Plus subscriber, I’m voting for this because I think it makes sense for those in a Cam Plus or Home Monitoring tier or higher.
Another thought regards the issue of sharing devices. For instance, if I want to share access to a camera via the Wyze app and enable notifications on that camera, the shared access user also receives those notifications, even if that person doesn’t want them. No good. Hopefully an SMS option would offer more flexibility/granularity for assigning/receiving notifications until Wyze gets its act together and revamps permissions for shared users.
