I have wyze cameras and like them. I absolute hate my wyze thermostat. I’ve had it for over a year. It won’t stay online. I’ve gone round and round with wyze tech support and got nowhere. I replaced it with a ecobee. Wyze needs to stick to cameras and not try to produce everything electronic.
Google nest only last us few months. Got a replacement, and it last 5 months. Just got the Amazon one.. hopefully it lasts!
The Wyze device is utterly useless, and a poorly designed chunk of crap. Not only can the temp not be set below 50 degrees, is constantly goes offline, and has to be power cycled to get it back. Just a great feature (well known by the manufacturer BTW) for a remote device, huh? So – crappy product, and an entirely bad review video. Both need to be taken down.
The best one is the one you have
Wyze is the winner. I have the lyric, Nest, and Wyze in three different locations. I like the Wyze thermostat the best and it’s so simple to use.
