These are probably being cleared out since Wyze has a better V3 camera, and second version of Wyze Sense to be released very soon. Decent products though, especially for the price. Be warned about Sense version 1 sensors: when they lose battery power for too long they lose their MAC address and become useless and unrecoverable.

Is the battery end user serviceable?

My idea of smart is flipping a wall switch on or off when you need light or don't.

I need some 100w bulbs too!

Costco has 100w equivalent 4 pack for $15

Just be aware that this is old stock.

Wyze has new cams (v3), new sensors and a new sensor bridge coming out soon.

Maybe that's why it's called a starter kit, you absolute mop bucket.

Wow that insult had a British accent in my head.

I just need the Cam got one already they work with Firestick (Alexa) I can see what's going on in the front. I really need 4 more cam, there isn't much of bundle price point. 2 more for the front and one rear and one in the patio. More lighting controlled by Alexa / Hey Google for outside. I have the Xmas Tree controlled but them already and the Badass Robot Vac. Got over 17 WiFi bulb controlled by these two along with 3 fans.

Now that explains why mine stopped working and was unable to reconnect after installing new battery

Found out the hard way. Definitely something they should work on and warn about.

No homekit integration, it is out-of-date baby monitoring kit. Wyze is not a security solution, you can either learn it the hard way or buy something that really keeps security as priority.

Hmm... I've had sense v1 since initial offer. I let one motion sensor battery die for about 5 months, put a new one in and picked up where it left off. Paired a motion sensor to plug control of a floor lamp near front door so comes on with motion and turns off when no motion sensed for 1min. Also only turns on/off during certain time. Integrated with google so can voice activate any plug connected item, like sound machines.

note: wyze plugs are wifi connected and not via sense, which is good.

wish there was a smart things integration so can use motion sensors. the wyze motion sensor is way better than sàmsungs motion sensor.

Maybe high temperature from 100w is not working with the parts inside smart light bulb. It was fun at the beginning but now I think it is too dark for studying at home during pandemic.

I can't stand dim light. LEDs are letting me down as a whole. I think I'm going to go back to incandescent. Hey Hue, are you listening?

I found there is a 100W equivalent (15W) LED bulb at some point and pair it with a smart switch on a standing lamp. But not able to control dimness (not like I need it anyways at this spot). It'll have to do for now until I can find something better.

I can verify - plus connectivity issues all around. Just a terrible product - went through 2 boxes some years ago. Finally fed up and went with ring and not an issue to be had
