But out of curiosity what apps didn’t work for you that were deal breakers?

Works for me on Verizon and has for 5+ years. Google Fi even works as I’ve tried that with a different phone on GrapheneOS.

Alright that doesn’t sound that bad. I have a Mi Band 3 and haven’t upgraded to anything else due to the need to get a key with anything newer.

How was the Bangle JS2? What made you switch away from it?

I thought about using Amazfit products but all the new ones require Huami/Xiaomi server pairing. How was that process?

As others have said you can set these Reolink PoE cameras up on different systems without using their app forever.

I for one have set up Reolink cameras on Synology’s Surveillance Station successfully after a one time setup with Reolink’s app. Meaning I used their app to get it connected to my WiFi and then immediately set the camera’s DNS etc. to it’s own IP.

Once that was accomplished I set up the camera on Synology and now I only use Synology’s app for access. In no way does Reolink successfully phone home after this. While it isn’t ideal it’s pretty great once this is completed.
