Wyze App on Blue Stacks 5 for Wyze Cams on BI - No Go!
Have a junk box of V2/V3 Wyze cams to see if they would work with BI using a Windows 11 desktop with Blue Stacks 5, the Windows Android emulator. Presently use all Dahua cams on BI.
Issue
Wyze App - "Select Network" On App Screen Blank With No Listing - No WiFi Networks Discovered using Wyze App on Blue Stacks.
Is it a Wyze app, Blue Stacks, router, WiFi or setting issue?
Process
Installed the latest Wyze app (version 2.48.1-381) from the Play Store on a Windows 11 desktop (i7-11700) using Blue Stacks 5 (version 5.22.100.1024 P64).
The desktop is connected via CAT-5e to an Asus router with 2.4 GHz WiFi turned on. i.e. other WiFi devices (phone and other smart plugs, etc) connect to the 2.4 GHz band without issue.
When adding a new device in the Wyze app the "Select Network" screen is blank and with green bar 1/4 of the bar width. i.e. no networks are listed and the process stops at this point.
Tried adding a wired Wyze Cam Ver 2 and Ver 3 along with a Wyze smart plug. All are no go with the same blank "Select Network" screen.
Also installed Blue Stacks on a Windows 11 laptop (i5-1155G7) with 2.4 GHz WiFi with the same result.
Removed the Wyze app from the Windows 11 desktop and side loaded an older APK 64 bit version of the Wyze app into Blue Stacks. The same no show on "Select Networks".
The phone, a Moto G7 Play will not load the Wyze app from Google Play. Most likely it is a 32 bit cell. Side loaded an older APK 32 bit Wyze app to the cell and it loads and runs. However, it will not accept login data. Most likely a Wyze 'security' issue as they say!
Tried a number of suggestions on the net, but so far no WiFi connect or listing of available networks.
Suggestions on what to try next would be appreciated. Or maybe just 'deep 6' the box of Wyze cams and call it a day!!
