This is the way open-source software works and quite frankly not supporting Wyze is a sure way to end up having to buy Ring products, or similar. The prices for both the devices and the required subscriptions are ridiculously high.
I don’t know you or your financial situation and hope you are doing well. I have chosen to support Wyze and try to help them stay in business. They are effectively giving you free software, or whatever you choose to pay and do not understand why you would complain. I see nothing sneaky here, instead I see a company being transparent before they go bankrupt. I have boxes full of devices and gadgets from great companies that no longer function just because the companies could not compete against the big guys. I am happy to help protect the future functionality of my devices, as well as help Wyze stay in business.
Either way, have a great day.
Best Regards,
Joe
