Wyze app for iMac

A few points before we leave this topic:

  1. If implemented, access by PC (macOS OR Windows) would very likely be through a web browser interface as @Bam mentioned. So @aitc39, be sure to visit the topic linked above and vote for it. You must click the VOTE button at the top for your vote to count.

  2. I think that Wyze has been resistant to implementing a web-based access path due to security concerns about web-based apps.

  3. I think that computer-OS specific apps for macOS and Windows are not likely due to the development time and expertise that would be required.

  4. There are many users that are running the Android app on Windows or macOS using an Android emulator such as BlueStacks or Nox. Some are more or less successful than others.

  5. Apple is bringing Project Catalyst to the Mac in the next major macOS update, Catalina. If reports are correct, this may let developers port their iOS apps to macOS with a single toggle in the app compiler. If that works out, Wyze may be more likely to easily bring their iOS app to macOS without any development costs or security concerns. There is a #wishlist topic for that here: Bring the Wyze iOS app to macOS (Catalina, Catalyst). You will probably want to vote for and/or comment on that topic as well.
