We don't expect much from a $48 security system but Wyze Sense is pretty dang good! For the price, Wyze devices still offer some cool features for such a low price.
Plus, along with the basic security sensors, you can add on smart devices from Wyze. If you want Wyze cameras, a Wyze smart lock, or a Wyze smart bulb, then the Wyze Sense system is one more tool in your smart-home toolbox.
Pricing: We can’t complain about Wyze pricing: it’s incredibly cheap. If you want basic security sensors, this is a great budget buy.
Equipment: Wyze Sense offers basic security sensors, like door and window sensors and a motion detector. It doesn’t offer extras like flood/freeze sensors or smoke alarms. It doesn’t even have a keypad.
Home automation: Wyze offers some cool smart devices that will work with your other Wyze stuff. You can add on a Wyze smart lock, Wyze smart light bulb, or Wyze smart wall plug. And you can control everything through the Wyze mobile app, IFTTT, or your smart speaker.
Installation: The hardest part of installation is setting up your Wyze camera. And even that should take only a few minutes. All the sensors are peel-and-stick for easy installation.
Customer experience: Wyze’s mobile app gets fairly good reviews, but some customers have reported issues with connectivity. If your camera keeps dropping off your Wi-Fi, check your internet connection.
On the whole, Wyze Sense is a pretty good choice for the cheapest of cheap security systems. If you want something with more types of sensors or professional monitoring, check out our Best Home Security Systems review for other options.
