Most likely this also. No Cloud Video without a subscription:

Recordings can be saved to the cloud when you purchase a Roku Smart Home Subscription

I just had someone with the Roku Monitoring confirm the following for me.
Without paying for Pro Monitoring, they still:

  • Have access to the Monitoring Tab
  • Keypad is still functional
  • Can still change the Tune Settings
  • Alarm/Siren still works
  • You can still schedule it to be alarmed/disarmed during certain times or manually arm/disarm it
  • Rule Triggers based on the state of the monitoring service still work.

So it does sound like it really is true Self Monitoring with Roku using the same hardware/service. Hopefully, that is a good sign that Wyze will be updating the Wyze app to allow this for their HMS in the near future too.

My guess is that Roku told Wyze this was something they absolutely needed to have ready by launch time, so Wyze applied the resources necessary to make that a priority. Now that the code is developed already, hopefully it can be ported over to the Wyze app as well. I wish this would’ve happened before the recent AMA so I could’ve asked about it then. I will certainly try to ask about it in the next event though. I personally think it’s a positive sign that progress was made on this, and I don’t blame them for first prioritizing it with a partner that made it a requirement for their needs. And with Ring Recently getting rid of their free self-monitoring option, there is some potential to capture more market share if they start to offer it and funnel more users into their ecosystem.

Definitely must have siren and send monitoring. Wyze is deliberately avoiding this. Going to have to dump all the be wyze and go with another system. Very very disappointred in Wyze. Been with them a long time.

What do you mean by it must “send monitoring” for self-monitoring mode?

Oh geez, I should’ve realized that since it happens to me when I’m typing (gesture typing) from my phone all the time too. Thanks for the clarification.

I’ve a lot of Wyze cameras, and currently the only thing that block me from buying home alarm components from Wyze, is this subscription thing.

It’s been more than three years. They are never going to do this.
