My wife and I got our bands too today and we love them! The screen is just the right size. Not too big, not too small. Can easily see what I want to do. Offers a ton of useful features for only $25.
I like the shortcuts, but since you only get five, it would be nice if you could have shortcuts that are more like button toggles. For example, to turn off my Wyze plug for my fan, instead of creating one “on” shortcut and one “off” shortcut, would be nice to just have only one shortcut for both actions and each time you press it, it changes the plug, or switch, to the opposite state.
@mscheryl You should be able to find the Android Beta app in the Google play store. Did this not work for you?
To access the Android Beta app, go to the Google play store and search for Wyze labs, scroll down a bit and tap on join the Beta. Then you can update to the latest Beta App
Hi! It seems one of the things I was looking forward to doesn’t quite exist here yet…Any chance there will be a way to activate an Alexa routine via a shortcut button (or a shortcut that acted like you said "alexa %phrase1 , and fill in whatever phrase you want, thus activating a routine or a common thing you say to alexa with the press of a button) ?
No, it didn’t. That’s why I asked. I found Wyze labs but there was nothing anywhere in it that discussed Beta. Or even mentioned the word. I figured there was something left out but I have never heard of join beta in the google store either.
I made a solo post in this large thread, check the upper right corner of the posts, it has a little arrow and the avatar of the person being replied to, if any.
This has gotten ridiculous.
2 weeks later still nothing.
As a mail order biz I am registered for notification via usps & checked.
Yes, I will get updates, but the order has never shipped.
Sending out a shipping notice & chrging for the order w/o delivering the product is mail fraud.
FELONY
@minionsweb, Have you actually asked Wyze about it via a Support Request? If so, and if you’ve not gotten a prompt reply, please post your support ticket number here so we can try to get Wyze to escalate it.
My “orders” area of my Wyze account said it was “packing” until the other day. On that day the tracking changed to “shipped” and “out for delivery.” I received it that same afternoon. Wyze is in WA and I am in SC, so I doubt this was correct. Its pretty clear that the USPS had my package for most of that waiting time. I trust a private business (like Wyze) to be accurate, true, and correct, MUCH quicker than I trust any government bureacracy (USPS) to tell me the truth, be accurate, efficient, (ie not lazy) etc. Tracking at USPS is not reliable in my experience.
I find usps to not be the best, but it definitely has been off a lot with the pandemic. My Wyze band was listed as coming Wednesday for a long time, but I knew that info was wrong because on Monday it had already arrived in Indianapolis, which usually means it’s coming the next day. So it actually changed at the last minute and listed Tuesday, when it was out for delivery.
Thank you! EXACTLY! USPS, UPS, FedEx, Instacart etc. have all been off during this worldwide and national pandemic; many of us are home-confined under dr.'s orders and wait 5 days just for food and necessity deliveries from nearby stores! It is wrong to be bashing people at Wyze for delivery problems over a $25 wrist toy when the whole world has been turned upside down and many workers in industry and delivery services are home sick and/or dying.
Some of the disproportionately bitter, threatening complaints on this board make it appear that they come from an alternate, comic-book universe where delivery of a nice little electronic toy is more important than people’s lives. “What did you do during the Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020, Daddy?” “Oh I raised bloody hell about waiting too long for my wrist band!”
I like a trail of emails, so that I have evidence of
conversations and commitments in writing.
Legally accepted paper trails only.
Chats’ cache is dumped after completed, so no record unless I am
to copy & paste, which of course, can be denied.
What I have done is:
Tried to get support via email(s).
1 - in response asking me to provide feedback on scale which
garnered me an auto reply, “not monitored”
and
2 - via the support email link in my account orders pages, again,
“not monitored”
Now also submitted per your link.
We’ll see what happens.
So far every part of the pre-order, scale, bands, & regular items (sense parts)
has been a cluster you know what.
Some posts been moved to the #early-access forum category. It’s okay to discuss ordering and shipping here, but please keep all discussion about Early Access products usage, experience and issues in #early-access until the product(s) have been publicly released.
If you have an Early Access product and are not about to access the #early-access section, you need to request membership in the Early Backers group. You can make that request here:
Might be a good idea to sticky early access forum section info.
Quite sure there are many other early adopters who have no idea about this section & it’s purpose.
