The app is using more cell data than any other app. It is costing me over 10 dollars a month just to have the app running in the background. I can stay in my personal wifi all day and somehow wyze app seems to eat cell data. This is a pretty big WTF wyze???

Well, here is mine for the OP to compare. I am mostly on WiFi at home these days. By comparison my browser has used 235 MB and Google Maps 45 MB over the same period. [Screenshot_20200902-203024]

This is mine for all of August. About 10% background, 90% foreground. [20200902_221336]

It gets pretty small with just the band and scale. :slight_smile: [Screenshot_20200902-212155_Settings]

I have passed it up the chain to WYZE employees.

Thanks! Sorry to hear about this trouble. I sent this link up the food chain. Any chance folks experiencing this have sent in logs?
