There needs to be a much simpler way to turn the flood light on and off. For example, if you were working outside and you need the light to stay on, you should be able to simply tell Alexa to turn the light on and then off when you are finished. Not everyone in my house will use the Wyze App.
Smart home voice command to toggle privacy mode on Pan v3
Iâd like to see a voice command for Alexa that can toggle privacy mode on and off for the pan v3. Right now when I leave my home I have to pull out my phone, navigate to the camera, and turn privacy mode off. When I get home I have to do the same thing to turn it back on. Using voice commands would be easier and faster. It could also open up possible automation with IFTTT and other systems comparable with routine triggers through Alexa.
A voice command to turn it on and a second command to turn it off would be awesome.
I found a workaround for this. I had a spare wyze plug and can control that with an Alexa command. Using wyze rules I programed the camera to turn on when the plug turned on, and off when the plug turned off. Works like a charm.
YES!! we absolutely need this heavy! very useful, i want to go out and BBQ at night, and i want my alexa to trigger the floodlights icon button in the app somehow, or be able to hold the PIR trigger on. SOMETHING! = ALEXA, Turn on floodlight.
ive been trying to figure out a workaround or trick to get my WYZE cam floodlights to light up using alexa.
other than that all my wyze stuff works ok
i will tell you though that i have my pan cam on the edge of a wall ridge and when it looks straight down
the camera illuminates off the bottom section of itself because its white, si i put a strip of sanded black tape there so the reflected illumination doesnât fog up the picture when it looks down so much.
Control Flood Cam Light via an Alexa command or routine
I would like the light on the Wyze Floodlight Cam to appear as a light device in the Alexa app. The Cam does that now, but the light canât be controlled from the Alexa app
E.g. Alexa â turn on floodlight! (of course a unique name would be used)
This would also allow a routine to use the floodlight on the âfloodlight camâ so I could add it to an action in a routine.

Adding for Alexa triggers, skills, etc. for cams, lights, sensors & switches will result in more Wyze product sales. Please show us the list of what is being worked on.
including siren, speakers on all devices, zones, leak sensors,
Thanks.
Great work around. Wyze plugs are now being used as triggers for many Wyze actions that Should Be Part Of ALEXA / Wyze Interface by now. years laterâŚ@WyzeJasonJ
Provide Cam3 Floodlight control via Alexa. Consider factors like keeping the activation via sensors working after a âFloodlight offâ command.
Currently I use IFTTT to turn the floodlight on (it will stay on forever unless I go into the Wyze app and turn it off) and off (also requires I go into the Wyze app to get motion detection to turn the light on).
Amazon dropped IFTTT support, so I have a widget on my phone to turn the light on and off, but the concept is similarâŚ
I needed a way to turn it on quickly, and (unlock, find app, go to camera, hit floodlight icon) was slow. Every other light I have (GE, Lifx, Wyze bulb, Sengled) works with Alexa.
