We aren't recommending that consumers purchase Wyze products at this time. Over the past several years, Wyze has suffered from repeated data leaks and security breaches, including a 2019 user data leak, exposed databases in 2022, and exposed video files that same year. More recently, Wyze has seen both 2023 and 2024 security flaws that let at least 13,000 people see through other Wyze security cams owned by unrelated users.
I will start by saying I actually love Wyze Cameras. I've owned multiple brands ,at multiple price points and Wyze has been the best and at the lowest price point. I also have several other products and are great for the price. But these thermostats are terrible! I was excited when they came out because i was having issues with my home nest and I needed some smart ones for our cabin. I purchased two for the cabin and have had issues since day one. They are easy to install but lose connections very easily. Our cabin is in a very rural area and loses power often and when it does these never go back online. And wont stay in eco mode. The worst is when they dont reset themselves you have to go back through the install process. There is no reset on these. I've reached out to Wyze but they were no help and that was if they even answered. Stay away!
My Wyze thermostats worked fine. Until my electric panel had a power surge. Every other component was fine but the thermostat shorted out, and in turned shorted out my AC. I had to climb onto the attic and fortunately I just had to replace the fuse... Had two furnaces so I had to replace both fuses plus the one at my parent's house because I used their AC to troubleshoot and burned it out too.
