I just set up a new V3 cam with the Lamp Socket— everything is working fine EXCEPT the actual socket settings… I.e. no way to turn the bulb off, etc.
When I go into the cam’s Settings>Accessories>Lamp Socket it keeps saying “Please update your camera firmware to the newest version.”
So then when I check to my cam’s firmware settings it says that I am all up to date (version 4.36.3.19.) I’ve tried resetting, turning off and on, etc nothing is working!
I’ve even tried setting up a shortcut rule as a workaround and nothing… The bulb in the socket continues to stay on.
I am running the Android app on my phone (no beta, up to date there too.)
exactly the same at OP - (version 4.36.3.19.). No pathway to updating my firmware recognizes a need for an update - clearing the cache doesn’t help, I’ve combed the other threads and nothing has worked. All the wiring is per the directions, using the usb provided in the socket package.
All - I left this camera and socket powered overnight and this morning, I was prompted to upgrade the firmware. Also, I am unsure if I made an error, but the WyzeCam v3 was firmware upgraded to 4.X.139 this morning. Yes, I thought it was at .139 prior to this. Unsure if I am at fault or otherwise.
With the .139 firmware, the socket is functioning. I even was able to upgrade the firmware on the socket. So, I will keep fingers crossed all keeps going well.
