Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with the Wyze Cam v3 spotlight firmware issue. A few months ago, I noticed that one of my spotlights stopped working. After some research, I discovered that it was running on the beta firmware version 0.0.0.19, which seemed to be causing the problem. I reached out to customer support, but they weren’t very helpful. However, I didn’t give up and decided to look for solutions myself.
First, I checked the firmware on my other Wyze Cam v3 spotlight, and it was also on the problematic beta version. I realized that somehow, I had been shipped these devices with beta firmware, which was frustrating. I decided to try resetting the device to see if that would help. After a factory reset, the spotlight started working again! It turned out that the beta firmware was the culprit, and resetting the device temporarily fixed the issue.
I also reached out to the Wyze community forums and found that many others were experiencing the same problem. Some users mentioned that they had to replace their devices, while others, like me, found that a factory reset was a temporary solution. I’m still waiting for Wyze to address this issue properly, but in the meantime, I’ve been able to keep my spotlights working by periodically resetting them.
If anyone else is having trouble with their Wyze Cam v3 spotlights, I’d recommend checking the firmware version first. If it’s on 0.0.0.19, try resetting the device to see if that helps. Also, make sure to reach out to Wyze support and let them know about the issue. The more feedback they receive, the more likely they are to prioritize a fix.
Overall, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, but I’m glad I was able to find a temporary workaround. I hope this helps someone else who’s struggling with the same problem!
