They do make an LED floodlight attachment, but I have no idea how well it works.
My main irritant with the Wyze Cam (v3, at least) is the 30 second delay, the video having to make it to the cloud and back to my computer/phone. 
That’s not what happens. Live video is direct from camera to phone.
Wow those are about as minor as it gets. 
Provided both are on the same network.
Nope, always, with some exceptions (Amazon Echo). Even when you’re a continent away from your camera, the live video stream is routed straight to your phone without any relay through Wyze cloud servers.

- Can’t log into the forums through a mobile device.
- Outdoor cam is only available in a starter pack with a base station I don’t need because I already have one.
- Online shop cancels my order without notification.
- Installation instructions never say to turn off mobile data to pair phone to device even though that is ALWAYS necessary.
- Device index list often shows incorrect on/off status, especially right after toggling.
- Limited ways to split rooms with the robot vacuum floor map precludes the ability to dispatch the vacuum to a particular area.
I couldn’t come up with another four but give it time.
Hey cousin.
Wyze Customer Service from the threads on this form 
… Quality engineering and Not Publicly providing resolutions on Robo Vac ( more people are responding to staining issues), 42mm watch, etc…the list is long But not distinguished. Speak up and Say something!!!
@DisappointedCustomer in response to your list.
- I am sending this through my phone. Granted, I don’t normally do so, but if you see this, obviously it is possible to log into the forum from a phone.
- No comment (see below)
- Never had that happen, but I have seen other reports of that here on the forum.
- I have NEVER needed to turn off cellular data to pair any Wyze device. I have over 40 devices.
- I don’t understand what you mean.
Can’t comment on 2 or 6 as I don’t have those devices.
Had to add the #2 line because the forum software “fixed” what it assumed was an error leaving out item 2. Damn auto-mangle…

I can log in on my phone’s mobile browser, it’s where I’m typing this from.
The outdoor cam is available for purchase without the base station when they have them in stock. I’ve purchased 2 outdoor cams from wyze separately from the base station (so I have a total of 3 cams and 1 base). You can also still purchase single outdoor cams at home depot or Amazon if you cant wait for Wyze to get them restocked.
I only have to turn off mobile data to connect my outdoor cam and/or base to travel mode. Outside that, I don’t have to mess with my data to set up other devices.
I’ve not noticed any issue in the device index concerning status. I’ll keep my eye out for that.
May I ask what phone you are using? I’m using a Google Pixel with the Chrome browser.
My complaints with wyze:
-
No contact or motion sensors without the home hub thing. My v1 sensors work, but if/when they stop there’s no replacement through Wyze at this time and I don’t need/want HMS.
-
Would like to see more Alexa integration and improved IFTTT triggers and actions. For example: IFTTT picking up groups of devices rather than the current setup.
-
doorbell is wired but won’t allow for use of existing chime. It’s the only reason I won’t pull the trigger.
-
was the wyze band support dropped? I haven’t seen any improvements or updates in awhile. Perhaps a speak to text since it has a microphone?
-
bring the alexa functionality to the wyze watches. The ability to speak to alexa on the band was terrific and the only reason I still use the band over the watch from time to time.

As I was leaving feedback to three different messages in the new Doorbell announcement, I get this:…
Really?.. I’m ‘shadow banned’ until someone replies to me? That’s a bit… odd.
@UserCustomerGwen what is the reason for being stopped at 3 replies in a forum?

Understandable, but too bad you can’t turn it off for known non-spammers… As I went through the thread on the new doorbell, I was reading from the first post, and commenting on the way to the last post.
Being stifled at comment 4 was a bit annoying.
I guess that’s all the doorbell pro is worth of… 3 replies from any given user.
Perhaps Wyze doesn’t want too many unfavorable comments on the new doorbell that is a pass for those that would of preferred to see a few additional features than what made it into that particular product offering.
Thank you for the education that anyone who post 4 replies in a forum is considered a potential spammer.

Unfortunately there is no way to apply it to only some users that I am aware of, it also only cuts you off at 3 consecutive posts, after another user comments you would be able to post more. I know Wyze wants to hear both the positive and negative comments and is not truly trying to silence users.
I will take your feedback to the Wyze team and see if they would consider making any adjustments, but cannot make any promises.

It’s actually not a problem at all - just edit one of your existing posts to add the content you need. You can quote others as needed and reply to multiple people in the same post.
Really a lot better for other readers than scrolling through multiple posts by the same person.

May be related to this:
I agree with most of these. The app needs lots of work, I run the WYZE app on my iPad and on my M1 Mac.
Not being able to swipe left and right to move between different cameras when in full screen is just annoying. All the controls vanish which is also annoying in full screen mode and it has to revert to portrait mode to make any changes??? why? - It’s actually easier to just let the device UI adapt to the orientation rather than force the UI to a specific orientation view.
Needs a major CX overhaul, because there are some big problems with the app when navigating and just finding stuff.
The menus have buried most of the settings that should be front and center with a simple tap. The ability to customize the UI exposing only the features you want would be great.
Try TinyCam.
A company with stand out quality products for reasonable prices, who puts out constant updates albeit some of those were to make it more difficult to modify the equipment purchased.
Besides no official API access and no local network access to Cams without an internet connection. My biggest Wyse peev is the following. Out of the top 3 features on the wish list, two of them are listed as maybe later. Out of the top 20 items, 65% of them are listed as maybe-later. Is this status controlled by the Wyze team? Does this follow the “Core Values” or does it appear that maybe the Wyze Team has lost sight of what was important to them.
From the Wyze.com website: “It’s our goal to become the most customer-centric smart home technology company. We’re passionate about providing customers access to high-quality products at great prices. We relentlessly keep costs low by partnering with the world’s most efficient manufacturers. We cut out “channel fat” by selling directly from our own website. And, unlike our competitors, we don’t seek a high profit margin over our cost base, passing on all of these savings to our customers.”
Hunh. That is sure what it looks like.
I have the Wyze app on a dedicated device (a cell phone). I have the V3 camera outside of my office window. I can see the street. I can see cars go by. I can look at the feed in the Wyze app. I can check the on-screen time to the second. I can see the car go by in the Wyze app after about 30 seconds.
Do you think maybe that there’s a time warp in front of my office window? Maybe it sees 30 seconds into the future. That would be really handy if that’s the case.
OK, maybe not REALLY handy. Maybe it if was something like a DAY’s time warp outside the window. I would set up a data feed and watch the stock market a day in advance, and then would retire early!
Please explain the effect, because, if it’s the time warp thing, I’ve got to find some way to exploit it.
