We’re releasing Wyze app 2.44 today with support for Wyze Battery Cam Pro, dark theme for livestream and Event Detail pages, PiP for the pro floodlight and battery cam, the ability to add doorbells to camera groups, and bug fixes!
Events. Person filter button at top left of Events List cannot be deselected. If enter Filter section, Person (under Cam Plus Only section) cannot be deselected. If Clear All at top right of section, Person IS deselected - but CANNOT BE RESELECTED, neither in the Filter section nor via button at top left of Events List.
The only way I’ve found to display those Events tagged Automation is to deselect Person and Motion via the buttons at top left of Events List, which then displays ALL Events, as far as I can tell. It was working in v.previous.
In 2.43.5 (313) and prior versions, if I entered the App via selecting an Event Notification, the Person filter button at top left of Events list was a bigger button with a + on the left.
It was not deselectable.
If I then exited and reentered the app, the Person filter button at top left of Events list was smaller, no + sign on the left, and it could be deselected/selected freely.
I only see the larger ‘button +’ in 2.44.0.323. Exiting/reentering, force stopping, clearing cache, reinstalling, has no effect in restoring the smaller.
Good question, I don’t know, maybe it will make a difference. Trying…
Nope. If no cams are selected it displays Events from ALL cams, same as if all are selected. And no change in Person filter, it is still unselectable in both places now as described above.
Thanks for the update. I think I will stay on App 2.43.5 (313) for now. Picking the lesser of 2 evils, I can deal with the Playback Timeline bug jumping to the current area more so than goofy Event buttons.
The last two releases have been somewhat better in this respect for me, I swipe between a couple of 4-up screens in landscape (where the 2nd screen seemed to fail most.) Scrolling in portrait always seemed a little better.
iOS app here. I have a group of 8 wired cams, 7 V3s and one V2. In group mode, all cams play fine when entering. But when I call up a specific cam, I see a frozen still picture. No live stream. Further, it may be a still picture from last month. Waiting a full minute doesn’t change anything, but going into the settings and coming back gets my normal live stream. Waiting for a timeout and clicking reload also gets me my normal stream. Exiting the individual camera and then coming back starts the cycle over. All cams in the group do the same thing.
Anyone else seeing this on iOS?
I also have a group of 3 original Outdoor cams (WOCs), two V1s and a V2. On those, when I enter individual cam mode I always get stuck on “Connecting camera (1/3)” that ultimately times out to a “Connection failed (error code 0)”. When I click reload there, it always connects immediately. Again, exiting the individual camera and then coming back starts the cycle over. All cams in the group do the same thing.
I am having the exact same problem on iOS . When I click on a camera in my group the picture is frozen. The only way to see the live shot is to click on the gear icon and then come back to the live screen. This makes the app almost unusable. I saw it immediately after the update. Im not sure how this can get thru QA. I need to find a way to revert to the previous version
This update caused another problem with iOS devices. On the Events page there is no recorded video shown on the current day until I press the day button, then they show up.
Also, the picture at the beginning of this thread showing an iPhone in landscape mode with a full screen camera view, I don’t see that on my iPhone 13 Mini, I have boarders on each side. Does this not work for the 13 series?
Sometimes the menu bar in iOS/iPad OS is respected, other times, like now [2.44] it is not. Once again, when in landscape mode, the iPadOS menu items are drawn over the interface for the Wyze App … making the right indicators show over Wyze’s buttons, and the time on the left is drawn over the back button, but, because it’s not respected the button is now harder to press exactly. This is especially tiring because the app does not respect the theme of the device … the menu bar items are always black, and they can’t be seen except for the areas of the Wyze app buttons they draw over.
The “Try rules:” coming up on almost every single launch of the app is ridiculous. There is already an area for making rules in the account section. Oh, and also, every single time I leave one camera view to go back to the main listing of cams, the friggin’ thing pops up again.
There are many other issues … but, I am trying my very hardest to be patient … I really wish the programmer (s) could respect the OS they are writing for instead of going out of their way to do their own thing. Android and Apple OSes have ways of handling and drawing live video that ‘just work’ with regard to aspect ratio and targeting window frames so the scale is correct, and also, not drawing under or over OS specific features like time and such.
I specifically did not sign up for betas … but it certainly looks and feels like I am beta testing here.
