I have a wyze door lock but I don’t see it anywhere on my doorbell to control, am I missing something?

@Yichen

Android issue still with streaming within HMS.

I Added 4 V3 Cameras ad the VDB to HMS on my Android Device. The VDB streams, the V3’s do not. Note: my iOS device has no issue streaming.

LOG Number 262086 submitted.

Sample Image:

** You can see the VDB is shown, the grey box below is a V3.

I think I figured out what the issue is. I had “Enable Hardware Decoder” turned on to help out with my previous streaming issue. I decided to turn it off and see if the issue still exists. Well, it does not. I am able to now stream the Video’s in HMS but only if the Enable Hardware Decorder is off.

That didn’t work for me.
I could not stream live in the HMS tab either.
I went and disabled “Hardware Decoder” and tried again. Still didn’t work.
I closed the app. Opened it and tried again. Still doesn’t work.

Tried on both a V2 and a V3. Neither will stream live in the Monitoring tab with or without hardware decoder enabled. @spamoni4 & I are also both using Pixel 5’s with Android 12 Beta 3, so our devices should basically be identical. Not sure what the difference is here, but mine are not streaming live in the HMS tab regardless of that variable.

Hope that helps. It should make for a good comparison to narrow down the difference since we use similar devices, etc.

Was really hoping for a feature update for the Wyze Bulb Color. I’ll check back in another 3 months or so.

I have not put Android 12 down yet. I had to remove it as the Beta 2 version caused some weird issues for me.

However, I did do a clear cache in the app and also from Android by long pressing the app. Then I did a force stop as well. Maybe that fixed it. Have you tried this?

Yesterday i got update of the app to version 2.23.16 and now the app will not open, i tried, deleting data and cache clean up, My device is a Pixel 3 Android 11

I went back into it this morning and 2 of the 3 cams were streaming live from the HMS tab. The V3 and the V2 were working, the pan cam was not.

I decided to try clearing the cache from the app. Then I cleared the data and cache from a long press of the icon.

When I went back in the app, only 1 of 3 cams would stream live now, the V3. Now the V2 would no longer stream live in the HMS tab.

Interesting.

Edit: I went out to the home screen then back in and now the V2 is streaming again too. The pan cam still is not streaming in that tab though.

That is better. I don’t have a PanCam to test with.

My V2 had issues initially but then started to work as well.

Thank you! Let me know if you still run into any issues!

I have the issue only when Enable Hardware Decoder is turned on. If off, I don’t have the issue.

Thank you for the feedback. Will take a look on that log you sent.

I will test tonight with hardware decoder on. I will let you know if problem still exists.

@Yichen . I just tested the process

  1. Remove any Cameras included in HMS making sure none are connected
  2. Go to Account / App Settings and turn on Hardware Decoder
  3. Back out and exit the app
  4. Long Press on the Wyze App and select App Info
  5. Select Force Stop to make sure Wyze is not running
  6. Start the App again
  7. Go to HMS and add at least 1 V3 Camera
  8. Back out till you get to the HMS Main screen and the Camera should appear
  9. Select the MORE option with the Camera and wait for it to load…

This is where I have the problem, the Video box remains Grey… No Video at all. I then turn off Hardware Decoder, backout and exit the app. Do the Force Stop again. Load the app and go to the HMS tap on MORE by the Camera and the Live Feed will be presented and it will start streaming with out issue.

So I think the issue is with the Hardware Decoder being turned on.
