If their end goal is indeed what it’s professed to be and if success follows them as it will as they improve, then you are correct, some shark will ingest them and either shelve them or merchandize them to enhance their portfolio. Business as usual
I did not take it that way, just wanted to qualify.

Don’t worry about Bob, he’s got alligator skin
Indeed! I am the very embodiment of “Hakuna Matada” the “No Worries” attitude.
I wonder if Wyze could create a firmware upgrade that would add the functionality to create a Group of multiple devices (e.g. a Location Group or a Network Group) and build in the functionality to update the Network credentials across the Group, and also functions like turning all the devices on or off.
I did some digging to see exactly how other vendors do it. Ring allows you to change their doorbell WiFi credentials and SSID from your phone however you have to be physically close to the doorbell.
That leads me to believe the Ring app is using Bluetooth or a private WiFi connection to facilitate the process. If the former then Wyze could not duplicate that without adding Bluetooth connectivity.
Perhaps an adhoc WiFi connection? Not sure. Can’t be ZWave as the phone does not have ZWave.
That means Ring will only accept changes from within the same home network and not allow someone to do so from a remote location and/or by cellular network.
Yes that’s very true.
I agree with you.
For example Wyze uses BlueTooth for some of the configuration settings on their door lock. Adding Bluetooth to a $20 camera would definitely increase the price. Not worth the expense.

I have four cameras in a group on the Wyze app and can push it once to turn them all off.
Is that what you’re asking?
I have a group for one camera and sensors. I quiet the sensors during a night time period but I keep the camera working as normal.
Well, sort of but not exactly. What I’m suggesting is the ability to create a group of any device that connects to the network. That would include cameras as well as Wyze lock gateways, lightbulbs, etc. all in one group. And, then be able to update the network credentials (network name and password) for all the devices in the group, in one fell swoop.
That way, when you have multiple devices where you need to change the network settings, you could do it all at once, which I think is what started this thread.
I’m not a IoT engineer but this seems feasible.
WSO, good idea, but there may be reasons where it would be improbabile… What I am pretty certain of is the companies priority is (or should be) privacy of it’s user base

What I’m suggesting has nothing to do with interfering with privacy. I was merely offering a suggestion that might give the engineers at Wyze some food for thought. BTW, it “company’s” not “companies”.
In any case, I’m signing off this forum. There’s too much cross-talk that belongs in personal chat rooms and too much whining and complaining about an amazing line of products.
I’ve dealt with many home security systems over the past 15 years and none in this price range comes near the level of quality, I find the configurability and user experience to be incredible. Is it a professional-grade system that costs thousands of dollars? No, but they don’t pretend to be and shouldn’t be compared to one.
Like every product there is always room for improvement. And, like every company they experience growing pains at time and make mistakes. But, unlike many other companies they come across to me as honest, trustworthy and deserving of much respect.
