Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with the Wyze Doorbell V2 flashing yellow issue. I know many of you might be struggling with this, so I hope this helps!
Problem Description
A while back, my Wyze Doorbell V2 started flashing yellow even though it was connected to the Wi-Fi network. I could still access its settings through the Wyze app, but the flashing yellow light was concerning. I tried restarting both the camera and the router, but the issue persisted.
Troubleshooting Steps
-
Firmware Update: I checked if there were any available firmware updates for the camera. It turns out there was a beta version available. Updating the firmware didn’t resolve the issue, but it’s always a good first step.
-
Resetting the Camera: I decided to perform a factory reset on the camera. This involved holding down the settings button for about 10 seconds until the light turned white. After resetting, I reconnected it to my Wi-Fi network.
-
Checking Network Stability: I realized that the issue might be related to my Wi-Fi network. I checked the router’s settings and noticed that the camera was connected to a less stable band. I changed the camera to connect to a more stable Wi-Fi band.
-
Reinstalling the Wyze App: Another step I took was uninstalling and reinstalling the Wyze app on my phone. This helped clear any cached data that might have been causing the issue.
-
Contacting Support: When all else failed, I reached out to Wyze support. They were helpful and provided a detailed guide for troubleshooting the issue. They also mentioned that this was a known issue with certain firmware versions.
Solution
After trying all these steps, the issue was resolved when I updated the camera’s firmware to the latest stable version and ensured it was connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. The yellow flashing light stopped, and the camera functions properly now.
Tips for Others
- Always check for firmware updates first.
- Resetting the device to factory settings can sometimes resolve persistent issues.
- Ensure your Wi-Fi network is stable and strong where the camera is installed.
- Don’t hesitate to contact support if the issue persists.
I hope this guide helps anyone else facing the same issue. Happy smart home tinkering!
