RE: Delayed or No Notification:
First time on this forum here.
I currently use the following security cameras: Samsung SmartCam, Wyze Cam Ver.II, Arlo, Ring Indoor, and Blink XT2. Of these, Arlo, Blink, and Ring will send me immediate notifications even when my S10 (Android 10) has been idle for a while, and I presume in Doze mode. The Samsung cams, which I’ve had for several years would send immediate notifications on my old Galaxy 6 and 8, but suddenly that stopped after an Android update on the S8. When I acquired the Wyze Cam, I had high hopes that its app could break Doze on my S8, but alas, that was not the case (which is why I only purchased two). After hearing that the apps for Arlo, Blink, and Ring had no problem with Doze, I purchased these brands and have been utilizing them as my primary security cams for various properties.
Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I seemed to have solved my Wyze notification issue with a work-around utilizing IFTTT and Pushover apps. Applets created in IFTTT integrate with Pushover and will activate Pushover alerts that break through Doze on my phone. For example, one of my applets is as follows:
“If motion is detected in (Wyze camera location), then send a Pushover notification.”
The notifications are immediate, and have added value to my Wyze cams as security instruments. The biggest downsides are that both apps require either a one time payment (Pushover) or a subscription (IFTTT). I believe a subscription to IFTTT is not required if you only create three applets.
If it were not for the notification issue, I would definitely rate the Wyze Cam as the best security camera of the ones I currently own. Unlike Ring and Blink, Wyze will detect sound and also smoke and CO detector signals. (Ring can detect smoke/CO alarms also, but it requires the purchase of a listening device or a Z-Wave Smoke/CO detector which integrates with Ring.)
The work-around above will hopefully help many frustrated Android users. Better yet is for the good folks at Wyze to address to Android notification issue. If Ring, Blink, and Arlo could do it, I’m sure you can too.
