Why does reset services change notifications?

Yes, I understand this is working as per the documentation. The question is WHY?

I have to do Reset Services frequently, because the app keeps messing up. And when I do that, it changes all my notifications and I have to manually fix them. Why on earth does that happen? Make it stop.

You could make a shortcut automation to “reprogram” your effected cameras so that you do not have to go into each camera individually and change the settings back after a reset.

Hm, I’ve reset services a few times (as a troubleshooting step, but it never ended up being related) and it has never changed anything with notifications… Odd.

Maybe there is something else corrupted with your account/settings and that is just re-downloading the corrupt settings.

I’ve used Reset Services quite a few times and it changes all the customized events/ Smart Detection to ON. I just have some cameras set to Person/Pet. but if I reset service it changes to Person/Pet/Package/Vehicle. :sweat_smile:

Ah, must be because I don’t have cam plus (in which case who knows if reset services even does anything for me). My setting all stay the same.

Reset services is for cam plus :rofl:

I’ve seen claims that it can also re-synch settings and automations. Whether that is accurate, I don’t know. Sometimes in troubleshooting I’ll hit, can’t hurt.

I have Cam Plus and what Antonius described is exactly what happens to me.

I only have one camera, and that’s not an answer.

I’ve always used “Events Only” SD card recording, but sometimes I see that setting flipped to “Continuous”. I wonder if resetting services causes this, too.

With Wyze, it’s hard to pinpoint things, they always mess up :joy:

It is another person trying to help you with a possible workaround, and you respond with attitude? Apparently it is expected behavior (reset means reset) so there’s your answer.

Do you happen to know if hitting Reset has the same effect for Cam Plus users of the Android app? Another common thread between your experience and that of @pmichaeleicher seems to be iOS. :man_shrugging:

I only have iOS devices, no Android.
