AWS Outage Impacting Multiple Wyze Services - 12/15/21

For anyone still having issues, and don’t have a separate phone/android tablet, have you tried Bluestacks or similar?

For the Wyze app to work you need to use a beta instance…

  1. BlueStacks multi-instance manager
  2. New instance, Fresh
  3. Pie 64-bit (beta)
  4. I’m using 2-core, 4GB
  5. For me, display mode worked best on Portrait, 1080x1920, 320 DPI (so things aren’t so small)

Especially useful setting no-go zones for the robot vacuum which was a nightmare on the phone screen. It would be easier if you could zoom in more and/or not be so easy to accidentally delete or rotate the no-go zones. #robot-vacuum

It’s also nice to control the robot from a desktop and not deal with a device that constantly wants to sleep.

By using a completely different device it may force the Wyze and related 3rd party back-end services to re-establish broken or invalid connections/associations.
