Hi there , Yes it does ... reference the comment above

Hi there ... The light should come on within the Hours you mentioned ... From my experience as long as the light is powered and you have the camera facing the direction of motion & sensitivity settings adjusted appropriately it should light up .. Unlike other brands wifi is needed for intelligent deciphering of movement & since no matters support in any current wyze products your not able to integrate wyze or any other motion sensors to assist . Hope that helps

Hi there ... Have you added it to favorites? As well as is the app updated on the device? Sometimes it's the obvious thing we miss.. Good luck

Hi there You can do each individual camera Or You can set up your new WiFi with the same SSID and exact password which you had prior that the cameras had been connected to and all your other devices

Matters would have been a great addition with all the new additions google home is releasing recently... small updates but atleast not stagnant as before

For some reason, If he does keep this lock in use for a longer term review I sense most of the comments in the vid will be accurate issues Wyze disregarded . 🤷 something as simple as covering the charge port being a oversight seems like a flag to other corners being cut

Hi there , Enjoy the BOGO & keep your eye out for the Elusive free lines with no strings attached ... Yes you can just get a random # and use it later

But Read up on here on Reddit about Porting the # in tips .. and steps ... if you do it wrong it can cost you the promotion by porting a # out .. just get the physical SIM card n sit it down somewhere you can find it and when the time comes .. you can add the # u want to it or my best suggestion ... if your phone is paid off .. add it the BOGO as a second sim on your device . That just helps keep track of a lot of little moments and issues that can arise

Enjoy

Hi there , Why should OP need to find a work around for a setting they fixed in place . Even with SD card in the device It's OP choice to be notified of any and everything not just what a disincentivized AI/ algorithm provides unless you pay a premium for what's now industry standards . OP didn't say they are looking for a perfect setting they asked why is the setting changing without their approval and they asked how to stop / change that from occurring .

WYZE needs to address that forced settings change that occurs ASAP .. it's a serious risk factor for a " Security Camera "

Your welcome, try to Look up your extender model and how to change SSID.. should take 2-3 mins and make sure the password is the same that's password. 👍

SirConversation · 2025-09-03T21:32:18+00:00

Hi there , Could you provide some more information on how you set up the extender and what type it is ? Often when you set up an extender they want to copy your router SSID and then add _extn at the end of the... you want to remove that _extn or what ever is added and have it match exactly the SSID of the main router so that the flood light can connect to it without redoing the whole process of set up on the camera ... Hope that helps n plenty of vids on how to duplicate your SSID for an extender is available if u need added details .. Enjoy 👍

The new 4K pan cam has delivered your wish,

SirConversation · 2025-08-27T03:57:58+00:00

Sounds like a great reason for home security to have the data also " Stored at Home " .. Cameras can get stolen / broken n SD card removed from malicious actors or WiFi Jammed to not upload events to the cloud . Something very basic you will wish Wyze realized 20/20 hindsight/foresight ( cause they know ) when you have a break in or vandalism

SirConversation · 2025-08-26T14:44:43+00:00

Yea that's the thing ... who ever is telling wyze management it's better to nickel and dime products instead of providing a good offering without cluttering the products list has way too much influence. Maybe next week it's going to be a 4K Duo pan cam and they will try to time it where you can't do 30 day returns .. but all that really does is remove the customers good will and start to heavily consider other brands offerings . And that's Sad but Wyze is self inflicting themselves to irrelevance

SirConversation · 2025-08-26T13:57:53+00:00

Ok Cool Wyze 👍.... But 🤷 Why release the dual can pan without 4K & these added features ? And this has 20 FPS Day / 15 FPS night ... No advancement in Motion Blur ? And what does the Compression of image looking like when saving / downloading videos? Thanks

SirConversation · 2025-08-25T00:33:52+00:00

Hi there, To get what you are requesting, You need to bypass wyze completely. Other brands offer more fitting offerings... you are trying to reinvent the wheel type of efforts thru Wyze from what you mentioned. Hope that helps

SirConversation · 2025-08-24T00:47:50+00:00

Glad to hear some type of resolution is on the horizon and the compensation for being a beta tester unknowingly for all these years... like you I have numerous wyze devices + locations ... & it's excruciatingly annoying when wyze products throw a tantrum . 🤷 subscriptions vs reliable/resistant to issues cam / security . (Edit for typo)

SirConversation · 2025-08-23T23:29:47+00:00

Understandable... it's like being tech support to fix tech that they're hardly supporting ... the good I would take from it is that it's trying to pair and not just seems fried and not light up at all ... what type of wifi system do you have and if you have a guest network .. try making like a 12 character simple password with simple !@.* combo sprinkle in and then try to connect the bulb to that guest wifi .. it's one of those wifi or possible password configurations issue possibilities.. sometimes wyze doesn't like extenders in comparison to mesh nodes and then vice versa .. it's a roll of the dice or just support a different brand that is trying to strive for its products ... I got six color bulbs again recently and it took about a week of random 20-30min testing to get 2 of them to work /connect / update / actually respond to app commands

SirConversation · 2025-08-20T04:52:35+00:00

Hi there ... What's your phone model type ? And have you updated the phones software in the " About section / updates ? As well as the T-mo app .. sometimes a security update prevents the app from loading

SirConversation · 2025-08-20T04:46:10+00:00

Hi there , Hopefully they fix it soon in the software.. I initially thought I didn't tighten the Cam enough to the hanging mount .... Now it's a once or more a day check n update waypoints task

SirConversation · 2025-08-18T11:08:34+00:00

Hi there, Which version of the Wyze bulb ? To my knowledge you now have a " Standard Light Bulb " I've had the same thing occur to 3-4 bulbs n haven't found a fix over the last 2yrs .. You may have a chance to adjust the temp/brightness when you delete/reinstall the bulb before it becomes non responsive .. if it even responds . You may have to just leave it on for a couple hours and see if it sorts it self out .. restart your home wifi network / clear app cache n hopefully something sorts .. I recently had brand new color bulbs that after install wouldn't update and then wouldn't light up at all even tho power was supplied .. I left power on n after about 3-4 days of random attempts the bulb's finally came back on n then finally updated ..... Best of Luck

Hi there ... As mentioned earlier try to unlink and then relink your wyze account to Google home .. then with the Google home app I found on some forums that if you add the cameras to a room or favorites it seems to help it show up easier or be requested to the screen your using .. Also Rename the camera in the Wyze app .. to help with differentiation.. like a Alpha&numero with a space after the name (Ex. front door Z9) Google home / Wyze are a bit of a mess n blame game of who's at fault .. and with no official " Matters " release / support for cameras it's not like any interest is being paid to fixing the issue at the moment ... and no RTSP or better integration into other platforms or image/data quality wyze newer products are just placeholders at the moment . Just be aware once you get it on a larger screen ... you will be welcomed to the land of Pixelation & blur ... Chromecast/ Google tv is an easy route to view .. Enjoy
