Wyze: Prove @bryonhu wrong. Make him stop squeezing Wyze cams in a vice!

Motion Detection Short Bus Antics

Hypnotic, right?

Motion Detection Short Bus Antics

This is not just a conceit. About 72 hrs ago, notifications, set to notify only on Person detected, began notifying all motion. At first, none of the cams had a settings page that would allow setting notifications to perform ‘correctly’ (the way they had been working.) Now, some do, and some don’t. I had changed nothing, in accord with this: https://forums.wyze.com/t/it-profiteth-a-man-not-to-deep-troubleshoot-cloud-based-devices-immediately/287068 Tedious.

bryonhu is very busy. Don’t bother him.

Indepth review of using Battery Bank as UPS for V3 cameras

Oh I have been busy, just not chasing Wyze issues… Re-roofed the buildings on the property. Installing new home automation toys, etc… Preparing a new bid for next job contract. Never idle Mr Frog

So glad I am retired.

When you’re a vice everything looks like a Wyze cam!

Me too. I make more money now then when I was working.
I also have the same retirement uniform, Shorts and T-Shirt, even in this morning’s 48 degree temps. Since I swing the golf club a lot when I play I get warmed up fast.

That swings got bogie written all over it.

[Antonius]

Bogies are your friend. About once every three rounds the Golf Gods will throw in a Par or a Birdie just to keep me coming back.

No run-up-and-smack like Shaq?

You knead someone to program that titanium knee for you!

@peepeep

In all seriousness, you are correct in suggesting that I am as plagued as anyone by The Disruptor periodically. And this despite precautions I take to avoid or minimize said plague.

Is Wyze competent?

@peepeep

At the moment I’m leaning toward they’re not.

Too many unsolved issues piling up. It has immobilized and demoralized me.

I like it.

I almost always forget what day of the week it is. I go to bbq dinner on Friday just to have some consistent awareness of a week.

Nine days ago:

Motion Detection Short Bus Antics

This is not just a conceit. About 72 hrs ago, notifications, set to notify only on Person detected, began notifying all motion. At first, none of the cams had a settings page that would allow setting notifications to perform ‘correctly’ (the way they had been working.) Now, some do, and some don’t. I had changed nothing, in accord with this: Tedious.

Today, out of nine cams:

7 v2s
2 v3s

1 v2 and both v3s still have the issue.

v2 firmware is latest: 4.9.9.3006
v3 firmware is one back: 4.36.11.8391

I will now update the v3 firmware to latest (4.36.13.0416) which I have been loathe to do.

Note: I am on v3.0.0.519 of the Android app for reasons described at the link:

@grapefruityoda

v3.2.0.580 issue
v3.2.0.b576 issue
v3.1.5.569 issue
v3.1.0.564 issue
v3.0.5.558 issue
v3.0.0.519 okay
v2.50.9.512 okay
v2.50.7.487 okay

::::working::::

• I power cycled each cam before updating them individually.
• The firmware updates completed without issue.
• I force closed the app, cleared cache, rebooted the phone and the issue persists.
• I logged-out and back in and the issue persists.
• I reset services and the issue persists.
• The notifications settings page for each cam looks like this:

• There is no way to select or do anything other than toggle notifications ON/OFF.
• ‘Device notifications’ are toggled ON for each cam in the Push Notifications settings:

All cams are subscribed to Cam Plus Lite according to the app:

Blah blah blah. BEYOND Tedious.

[peepeep]

Wyze App update TERRIBLE

I suspect that their focus (on things that will keep them afloat and progre$$ing at the expense of others (and attendant customers) that won’t) is existential. It’s a hard time to be disrupting with a world in full disruption mode.

Resolvable as of yesterday.

Pardon my ignorance, but you have me totally lost my friend. What are the issues you have with your ten cameras? I hope I counted correctly?!
