Observations
There are so many excellent suggestions here within this one topic that I have decided to turn off watching it as I get 10+ emails daily. I do realize that there are other ways to monitor it. I may use tracking
There is just so much here, and there is no way to vote for which ideas within this topic are my favourites / priorities.
It is challenging to see the ideas within this topic that are actually being worked on or implemented.
I appreciate seeing the Existing and Requested topics at the top. Thank you.
It is good to see so much interest in adding adding to the Wyze Rules as this is critical. I have been involved with home automations since the early days of X10. There is some basic stuff that would be helpful here. Many have mentioned it over the months.
It might be helpful to have keywords within the topics so that we can see how interest in the Wyze Rules by category, device, by action / activity types.
I would do the same thing for Playback, Events, IFTTT topics.
Applying some AI categorizing to these topics, could fairly quickly allow a view of the Wishlist by device, action, activity, function, …
But that would take away fron actually getting the functionality added … and so it goes …>… … …
It would be nice to vote on each of these sub-topics, and to see a note of which are “in progress” or “under consideration”, “in testing”. Some may be on this list for years…
I suggested making the list a “Poll” where users could then go vote on which ones are the most important to them.
Although, Polls say they have a limit of 20 options, so they would have to be done in multiple polls depending on the length of the list:
Example:

Though there might be issues with this. Does the poll start over anytime one of the options gets moved from requested to implemented? I don’t know I was mostly just trying to think of other options so it would be possible to tell how in demand different rules were. I guess the main thing is knowing that the rules team does see and review these sometimes. One of the employees did recently tell us that there is an update coming to the rules engine soon and that the rules team has been working hard on some big upgrades. So I look forward to whatever updates they are doing. It’s good to hear that they have been productive. I hope to see the fruits of their efforts soon.
Thank you for creating the polls. The most important rule creation option to add, for me, is to turn on/off sound detection. If turning on/off motion detection is already an option then sound detection should be too. I want to be able to turn off sound detection when I’m working from home but keep the camera and motion detection on. Thank You!
Allow the slider inside the app to turn off LED display. And add an option in rules to turn off the LED display without changing to sleep mode.
[Mod Note]:Your request was merged to this topic for consistency in grouping similar requests. Please remember to scroll up to the top and click the VOTE button. Please note that LED display control (on/off) via app is currently undergoing beta firmware testing and will be included in the next public firmware release.
I use rules to set the monitoring and notification settings on my Wyze Cams for when I am home vs away and it works great.
I’ve noticed that while I can toggle “Record Motion Events”, I cannot toggle “Record Sound Events”.
It would be very useful to have this ability to set in rules as I do not want to record motion or sound when im home, rather only when im away. Without being able to create such a rule, I need to toggle sound detection on and off manually for each of 7 cameras… quite tedious.
Please help Wyze!
[Mod Edit]Merged with an existing wishlist topic. Give it a vote to help it along!
I was hoping that these new color BR30 bulbs would have the same capabilities as the original color bulb. Just a heads up for everyone. As of this posting the following actions are missing:
Turn on for
Turn Sun Match On
Turn Sun Match Off
I use the “Turn on for” function to turn off the original color bulbs after X amount of time. I hit my shortcut button (while the original color bulbs are already on) within the app before going to bed. The original color bulbs then turn off X minutes later. Hopefully the missing actions are added soon to the BR30 color bulb.

I think it is complete hog wash that my post above was merged into this “wish list” thread. The fact is the new color bulbs DO NOT function the same as the original color bulbs. Is that not worthy of a thread of its own? It is as if the forum moderator is trying to burry the fact that the new R30 bulbs do not work the same as the original color bulbs. As far as I’m concerned @Omgitstony is overstepping.
agreed. anything that is not related gets merged into one extreme long one nonsense thread instead of its own thread apart from anything else, every different title gets merged into wishlist totally. mod need to do a better job! i believe this same mod does every post into one wishlist of all of them. instead of being in correct place, they all get thrown into one wishlist instead of in own group of proper placement.
To add a bit more, i would like the ability to select a scene for a rule.
I already saved several scenes with colors match and i like (having the same scene for a different bulb, is another Wishlist), but being able to select one of the scenes to turn on by a rule would be very simple if implemented.
[Mod Note]:Your request was moved to the correct Wishlist topic for better visibility. Please remember to scroll up to the top and click the VOTE button.
Please provide the ability to set the colour to a ‘scene in rules. For the strip lights pro. ‘ I have scene on pro light set to have a portion blue, red, yellow & green. I would like to schedule it to turn on in evening for Christmas display.
this was probably a good idea when Wyze first started it. A 100 wishes combined kind of loses momentum and ability to track progress.
I can see grouping the requests by product category such as webcams and then lights, and then sensors … maybe…
I do realize that this has been discussed too many times before but hey it is a wish !!
I would like to be able to watch or track the items related to my wishlist, but it seems as it is, I think I have to now see all items related to any changes in the Wyze rules wish list which sends a lot of emails weekly…
