I've got five Wyze V3 cams running Thingino. If you can get the older wz_mini_hacks running on them, which may require a firmware downgrade, you can ssh into the camera to figure out which soc and wifi chip you have and then proceed to erase the bootloader. Now that the bootloader is gone, it'll boot into USB mode and you can write the firmware from cloner on your PC. Like the WUUK camera, you don't need to disassemble them.

Thank you very much for this! Bought one and I am enjoying it. What is the approprite GPIO pin / PWM settings to get the night vision/IR illumination working? Also -- How do I use the thingino web interface to turn it on/off -- or is there an MQTT topic I can poke?

I successfully flashed firmware but "picture" is a thin color bar. I'm guessing it is the other WUUK sensor variant. dmesg reports "chip found @ 0x30 (i2c0) is not an sc4336p chip." . Since I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to see, I'm reluctant to more or less blindly try "the other one". Is it certain I need the other firmware? Also, where is the specific discussion of this issue. I'm not used to Discord and the thingino github doesn't seem quite right either.

Looks like you've got the other sensor! If you don't mine can you comment with the country you live in? The other owner one is in the UK. The new sensor is a sc401ai, so from here out we'll have images labeled sc4336p and sc401ai. It appears github had an outage overnight and this morning so the CI build didn't happen on time, but you can get the firmware file you need at github.com/themactep/thingino-firmware/releases/tag/firmware and you'll want thingino-wuuk_y0510_sc401ai.bin Rename the file to autoupdate-full.bin and put it on an otherwise empty SD card, rebooting the device will flash the image automatically and you'll need to reconfigure wifi. Discord is the best place for support, we also do have a Telegram channel as well: t.me/thingino Of course filing an issue on github works as well but the whole team is on Discord, and most of us are also on Telegram although its less popular than the Discord.

@@wltechblog I posted a more detailed comment about the WUUK I purchased with the sc401ai which seems to have been deleted, perhaps because I included a link. My hope was that there would a clue to the sensor externally on the box or on the device itself. The success of Thingino depends on enough users getting well defined hardware before the manufacturer changes it. Keep up the good work.

Tried the base version and the latest, made sure named properly, all I get is a red light. Can you add logging to the script so it outputs to a log file on the sd card? Thx

I had the same issue. For me it turned out that the script needs to be in a unix format - Windows had put a carriage return/linefeed on the end of each line. When I switched it to just a linefeed at the end of each, everything just worked.

What are the chances that a camera that looks exactly the same with a different name has the same hardware? What would happen if i run the script on this similar looking camera and it is not compatible?
@wltechblog

The short answer is: If it's not exactly the same model, it probably won't do anything at all. The flash method for this WUUK is (thus far) unique to this particular model's factory firmware, and I have 5 different cameras that look 99% identical that are totally different. Especially once you get into the unknown name brands, they literally buy the same shells. The longer answer... We had one camera model that changed processors mid-run. It would have been the model featured with an install video first, it's a $15 camera on Amazon and while it didn't have the higher end X variant processor that doesn't matter much at least at this point. But without changing the model name or specs/features list or anything, buying one today gets you a T23 instead of a T31, and that's a brand new chip we are still developing support for... So I have two of them with T31 that are running great and one T23 that currently doesn't work at all! But indeed the flash method that would have worked on the original model would result in a "bricked" device. But! Ingenic processors include a recovery mode that will let you flash them over USB, which is also how we'll be installing Thingino on some devices in upcoming videos. You have to take it apart to do the operation but it's really an easy task to recover or upgrade this way. You really can't actually brick these without physical damage. My suggestion to you would be to jump on Discord and we can figure out what you have and if it's compatible with Thingino, and if so we can work out a config and the easiest way to do a flash.
