10:49 AM PT - We're continuing to allow more traffic back to the servers and are watching our metrics. We are not fully recovered yet and appreciate your patience.

10:19 AM PT - We are entering recovery and are balancing the requests from the server side. Some people may see improvement now but the process is not yet complete.

1/12/23 4:14 PM PT
 - We now see full recovery and we're keeping an eye on things. If your device is still offline, please try power cycling it. If you continue having difficulty connecting, please reach out to Wyze Customer Support.

3:00 PM PT - We have seen increasing server latency from our side and are hearing reports from customers that their apps aren't loading pages or controlling devices correctly. We are working on mitigation efforts and expect things to improve for affected customers soon.

 

1/11/23 4:00 PM PT - We have released iOS app version 2.38.4.3 to the public. This has the fix for Error Code -1. We're sorry that this bug escaped to the public and we've added new processes to prevent it from happening again. If you're still experiencing this, please check App Store for an update. If you continue to have trouble, please reach out to our Wyze Customer Support.

1/10/23 1:51 PM PT - Our QA team has verified the hotfix app version and we're working on App Store review. Ideally, we'll be releasing the fix for Error Code -1 tomorrow though it may release on Thursday instead. We'll keep you posted about any changes. 

1/9/23 3:46 PM PT - We have received confirmation of a new app build that has a fix for the Error Code -1 iOS bug. We are currently waiting for it to go through code merge and QA review. Thank you for bearing with us as we work to resolve this problem.

1/8/23 4:21 PM PT - We have been making progress on a new app build to replace the problematic iOS app version. This is currently going through internal testing and looks promising for resolving the Error Code -1 issue. We appreciate your patience during this time. If needed, ungrouping your cameras can avoid the Error Code -1 issue while we work on the new app build release.

1/6/23 1:45 PM PT - We're seeing reports of grouped cameras giving a frequent Error Code -1 in the live stream when using iOS app version 2.38.3.3. We are looking into this. In the meantime, removing the cameras from the group can help. We apologize for the inconvenience.

 

1/5/23 6:00 PM PT - Our devices are back at their normal connection metrics. If you're still having trouble with your app, please try force closing the app and opening it again. If a device is not connecting, please try power cycling it. If those steps don't do the trick, our support team at support.wyze.com are here to help.

4:29 PM PT - Our recovery is still in progress and more devices are connecting to our servers. We're not there yet but our metrics continue to improve and we're hearing positive feedback from customers about their devices being back online.

3:06 PM PT - At this point, our metrics show that all devices except Wyze Cam v2 and Wyze Cam Pan have recovered. We are continuing to work on recovering the remaining devices.

2:39 PM PT - We have scaled our services and blocked repeat requests from devices sending too many requests to our servers. We are seeing improvement in app and device performance. We'll start slowly opening up access again with the goal of keeping up with the requests. We expect some devices such as Wyze Cam v2, Wyze Cam Pan, and some Wyze Cam v3 to still have difficulty connecting at this time but other devices are showing signs of improvement. Thank you for your patience.

1:52 PM PT - We are looking into issues with devices not reporting Events to the cloud and the app not being responsive. This can affect notifications due to the cloud not receiving the Event information. We'll update this page when we know more.
