What's the best thread for bulb-cam?

I don’t know, but I imagine that it’s wherever you tell the app your home is at at  Account ➜ Home. At least that’s what I’d expect as a user. Personally, I’ve experienced a lot of time-based function problems with Wyze, particularly when it comes to certain device types turning on and off at the wrong times when Vacation Mode is enabled. They act like they’re in another time zone entirely, several hours from where I actually live.

I think at least part of the problem is that (as far as I know) Wyze hasn’t actually created provisions for users with multiple locations, and that’s been discussed quite a bit in the Forum. Just last year, I suggested this:

I haven’t seen any particular progress with that Wishlist request, though.

Clearly you’re not, as you’ve voted for (and commented in) a related Wishlist topic. Searching the Forum yields many other topics where people discuss having problems with different devices in different time zones and/or with devices changing their reported times to synchronize with a phone’s clock when a user’s phone has changed time zones because of travel. Then there are the issues with people in time zones that are offset from others by a half hour, like in parts of Canada. It just gives me the impression that Wyze hasn’t devoted adequate time or resources to correctly address all the issues with time that affect their products.

Since you use Android, one potential solution could be to Run Current and Old Versions of the App at the Same Time (Android only) 📱 and use a separate Wyze account for each app instance (so each would have a different “Home” location specified). That might be more trouble than it’s worth, because it would require setting up devices at one location under an entirely new account, but it’s one possible way to work around the problem.

I really just wish it didn’t seem like time was an afterthought with Wyze or that they would actually solve these problems so that the user experience would make more sense. If they actually have an answer, then I think at this point they haven’t shared it with the rest of us. :man_shrugging:
