3 years ago Never mind. Closing this out. PEBKAC error. I'm so used to cloning repos directly especially if no binaries are involved. Grabbed the zipped release linked on the front page and utilized it and it is fine. Apparently there's enough different between that and the full repo clone to cause issues despite it looking like it completed everything ok.
So I have a few v2's in my house, about half have SD cards, the others do not. So far tested on 2 cams with no SD cards installed (one cannot due to, I assume, a failed SD card slot or connecting hardware. The rest of the cam is fully functional). After doing some trial and error I have come as far as having the remote_installer script work and confirming the cam has pulled the firmware from the local server but the camera doesn't reboot, no audible announcements, and the live feed from the Wyze app continues to run.
Currently operating from an Ubuntu WSL install on my Windows 10 v2004 machine. All dependencies properly installed, python 3.8.2.
I started with the most recent FW version, 4.9.6.199 for the v2's but even downgraded to the noted last confirmed working version on the README page of 4.9.6.156 just to rule things out. Both do the same. Even tried rebooting the cams amidst all this. Here's a snippet below of the script on one cam I have attempted to hack.
Any thoughts on where I should look next or additional troubleshooting steps I can try? Ultimately I'd like to remove the SD cards altogether and just have everything fed over NFS and leave it at that.
