I’m not receiving the correct number of notifications for my Wyze Lock Bolt v2.

Problem

Troubleshooting

  1. Confirm that the Wyze app is up to date.
    1. In your Wyze app, navigate to the Account tab > tap About.
    2. Your current app version will be listed beneath the Wyze logo.
    3. Compare your app version to the latest app version listed on our Release Notes & Firmware page.
    4. If you find that your Wyze app is out of date, head over to your mobile device’s app store and update the Wyze app.
  2. If possible, check that Wyze Lock Bolt v2’s firmware is up to date.
    1. You can check this by going to the Account tab > Firmware Update.
