I already have many Wyze devices and would like to switch to Roku.  Will that be possible without buying new devices?

Thanks for the inquiry.

Please be aware that Wyze devices cannot be controlled by the Roku app, therefore you would need to purchase Roku Smart Home devices if you want to integrate them with your Roku players.

Thanks,
Danny

That is the most disappointing answer to hear. I however know a small group that will have this figured out and reworked very soon. I'll send screen shots; I almost have one done already.

When it is figured out can you share please? Thanks

I guess they do not want any more customers...  Oh well.  Staying with Wyze.

Another reason to not use Roku.   I already own 8 wyze cams and you think people are going to pay to replace them with the exact same camera with roku name on it and their firmware so I can watch it on roku?  I can use google chromecast or an Amazon firestick to stream existing wyze cams onto my tv now...  they also allow me to stream their own proprietary ring or nest cams if I like.   By isolating your market like this to your own branded product that is just a wyze cam with your name on it you are alienating customers....  

Don't get me wrong, I like my roku for streaming movies and video's but decisions like this make it easy for so many people to avoid making Roku the center of their smart home environment.

Even if someone comes up with a way to flash existing wyze cams firmware to work with roku, I am not doing it.  I reject this proprietary  business model and wont' participate.  Very disappointing indeed.
