Hello, the forum contains many posts about sensors which fail to continue working after a low battery. through observing the logs this poster determined the sensors mac address was somehow being corrupted in its RAM , and this one detailed 5 blinks = fail to pair, 3 blinks ok. The wyze sense …

If you have the time (you will need lots of time) and the money to buy the Texas Instruments development board (around $30, if I remember correctly), the ‘wyzeback’ method for restoring firmware works to get everything back to normal, but only if you have saved a copy of the firmware from a sensor b…

There obviously is a workable solution the problem, is getting Wyze to adapt to it

No, talking about different and related things. I’m talking about using a split cable to provide steady power to the bridge while its data lines are still connected traditionally to the back of a V2 camera.

Seems like this is something WYZE engineers should have implemented.

I can also verify that the M1-based Mac works with the IOS app.

to prevent the bricking from happening in the first place, please vote for low battery email / IFTTT alert thanks

This comes thru the app months before issues. :slight_smile:

I put Buzzkill on my phone and set up a rule that if any notification from the Wyze app has the word “battery” in the notification, don’t allow the notification to be swiped away. Then it pins the notification for me and I have to tap a “Dismiss” link which ensures I never accidentally miss a Batter…

carver, are you talking about Wyze lock battery notifications? As I have never got a wyze V1 sensor low battery notification in android. This is corroborated by greymoment in this weekends post; [image]

I just very recently told Buzzkill to pin ALL battery notifications from Wyze, so not limited to a certain device. I have definitely received low battery notifications for the V1 sensors in the past and even very recently within the last few weeks. Within the last month or two I have replaced the b…
