We need your input and we have a GIVEAWAY - Wyze Home Monitoring Week 4

[carverofchoice]

The other options include:

1. Smoke/fire;
2. Carbon monoxide;
3. Water leak;
4. Freeze;
5. Communication Loss (cellular backup?)

Wyze responses to these:

@carverofchoice

When will the water leak sensors be released?

These were on our early list of sensors to add. You should see [water leak sensors] this summer.

What about wyze smoke/CO2 detectors?

Yes! We have [a smoke/CO2 detector] in the works. Nothing to share on timelines yet. Side note, I agree with you. This is the missing piece.

What other kinds of sensors are you looking into besides leak and heat sensors?

Smoke/CO and glass break sensors are some of the other immediate ones.

Can wyze cams detect glass break sound frequency and trigger an alarm? If technically possible (and reliable), it would rid us of the need for a separate sensor. Also, the entry sensors should have a mic to pick up glass break sound as well.

I will ask our AI team about this. This is possible and might be something in the works.

@carverofchoice

Any plans to have a glass break sensor added into the lineup?

We’re exploring a multitude of sensors to add to our lineup, and glass break is one of [the sensors we’re exploring adding to our lineup]. We don’t have a timeline for this one yet.

@carverofchoice

Are there plans to add a cellular service (4G) as a backup if internet goes down?

Our mission is to “make great technologies accessible to everyone”. When we started the Home Monitoring project, we carefully evaluated many factors from the systems on the market nowadays to see why they cost so much for customers, because affordable pricing is the first thing we need to achieve to make the Wyze Home Monitoring service accessible to most American families. Cellar backup is something costly but scarcely used, so we decided to not to include it. However, we’ve heard your feedback and we understand that this is still a necessity for some of you. We’ll look into possible solutions, but we can’t make any promises just yet.

So yes, some of those other check areas are being worked on. Definitely Water Leak and smoke/fire, maybe some of the others.
