Hi all. Just wanted to share my experience with a V2 cam and the Sense kit. Since I received my Sense kit and added the bridge to the V2 cam, I have noticed that the cam is occasionally clicking away, I assume it was resetting as I couldn’t access it during those times. I had a old Apple 2.1A pow…

There are several threads that talk about the same thing. Here are some of the observations I have noticed in different threads that affected the bridge and camera. Daisy chaining cameras Longer USB cords Using alternate, under-rated USB power Some Wyze USB dongles not supplying enough power (espe…

Thanks for the summary. Certainly sounds like a slightly stronger power supply could be a good idea in the future. I would love to know if anyone else has noticed a difference in signal strength to the Sense sensors with a more powerful power supply.

I would like to add a little more to my story. I recently bought a Wyze Pan cam and put it in the spot where my V2 cam with bridge was. Just because the Apple power supply was still there, I used that one right off the bat. The bridge had all sorts of issues, so I rebooted and used the OEM Pan po…

I have brought up my suspicions of the Pan power supply and Sense bridge issue up to Wyze. I have included a link to this thread to them. I will try to let you know what I find out. Please tag me if you don’t see a response here in a few days.

I’ll share this with the rest of the team. Thanks for bringing me in, @DreadPirateRush !

So I fixed the problem after trying all sorts of power supplies, disconnecting and re-adding the sensors and even 8 second re-booting the bridge/hub. The problem ended up being that there is a hidden metal frame in the door near where the sensor was attached to. Somehow it must have interfered wit…

I’ve got a bunch of Wyze stuff broken down in my bench and the first thing I’ll do this weekend is measure the power draw of all the devices. It’s interesting that more Watts seems to improve range on sense :thinking:

Following this thread to see everyones results. I’d definitely be willing to purchase higher rated power supplies for more stability.

I’d also like to point out if you use the outdoor full enclosures from amazon they can tend to overheat; also causing those blackouts. Removing the unneeded magnet swivel base tends to give it just enough airflow to stay on in those extremely hot days.

Stronger power supply with Sense bridge, no more reboots, longer sensor range
