OK…so…it does not appear to have been Russians or Chinese hackers getting my personal and credit card data. Just some regular web site stuff. Right? Cool.
And to be clear, your support in this thread appears to be helpful to many people. Thanks for that. Their exact words were “Keep trying”.
Good job with the queue.
Onward!
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words about my support. I’ll talk to the rest of the support team about better ways to communicate in these cases. Unfortunately, we don’t have great advice for this kind of problem other than, “Please keep trying,” or, “Please try again later.” Would you like to give me your support ticket number so I can look into your conversation?
So if I see the charge on my card and have an order number, but went through the beta software to purchase the new plugs, it would not be an actual order? Order # 691134
Hey WG,
I am guessing it may have taken me to web interface and i was in such a hurry to order, as i was getting ready for work, i just blew right through without noticing.
Hi I just received a reminder email from Wyze saying that I had left something in my cart and do I want to finish my order. I did order this morning and my card was charged but my order still shows on hold and still shows one item in my cart. any ideas? ticket # is 290698.
Let me start off by saying I love Wyze and I think you are a real pioneer in this field especially considering the price point.
I have 2 wyze cams, 1 Pan Cam, and the wyze sense starter kit…all work great.
I also setup wyze cams in small office for my clients and I recommend them to friends and family.
That being said, I was looking forward to opening the smart plug email to see what new and innovative way Wyze would manage to put their own “twist” on the smart plug world.
But when I opened the email, all I saw was a set of smart plugs that look just like half if the other smartbplufs out there and are even the same price as these amazon branded ones:
Not sure what you are talking about (to not order thru the app). My order for plugs was placed via the beta app. The plugs were offered via a big pop up as soon as I logged on. Order placed, order number sent and credit card charged via PayPal … all without issue. I just tested it again. Does seem to work by design.
Obviously WYZE was swamped from the minute the plug was made available. From what I could tell, it was more of a bandwidth issue than anything else. Must be a huge number of early adopters and beta testers. Makes one wonder …
Here’s my suggestion. We write “Order 2 Plugs,” with our shipping address and CC numbers, on a piece of paper. Hold it up in front of a camera, triggering a motion event. The system reads the sign, and places the order.
And it still bothers me that it’s called a Smart Plug. It’s a Smart Socket. The plug part is just metal.
Trust me my math may be off but you can get two WYZE plugs for less than the price of one amazon plug. And the amazon brand only work with Alexa? Am I missing something?
