I came looking for help on this. This is an older post and I can’t tell if this made the list or not. I did lots of searching. This seems to be the best place and most recent request. It seems super Simple since ‘on’ already exists just adding an option for ‘off’. @Loki Can we add heat/cool ‘off’ triggers to the request for development list? ---

Just got my scale yesterday! I was surprised to see it was not under the triggers in the rules. Can step on/off scale be added to triggers? Or maybe a trigger that fires when your info is synced to google fit? ---

I am surprised that this has not made the list, Wyze Thermostat can turn on something when heat or cool is requested, but there is no way to turn something off when the thermostat says it is done? A thread I found that is pretty old [https://forums.wyze.com/t/wyze-thermostat-to-control-wyze-plugs/134522](https://forums.wyze.com/t/wyze-thermostat-to-control-wyze-plugs/134522), my reason for the request is that I wanted to turn on a Wzye plug when heat or cool was called for (I can currently) to turn on a couple of fans to move the air around, and when the heat or cool turns off turn the fans off ( I currently can not do ). **[Mod Note]:** _Moved to “Triggers” from “Actions”.

**“Being Viewed” Trigger for Camera rules** This is for the Cam Pan (v1/v2), but should apply to other Wyze cameraa. I know that when the live stream of a camera (at least on my Cam Pans) is being viewed, the camera light turns from blue to red. So the logic already exists. Create a new trigger for rules: “When live video is being viewed by a user”. This can be used to trigger an action (turn on a light, turn on a plug, or other action). Another new useful action that could be added to use with this trigger is to play a sound (once or recurring) to alert people that the camera is being viewed. I’ll make a separate suggestion to play custom sounds. Thanks. **[Mod Edit]**_Merged with an existing wishlist topic. Give it a vote to help it along!_ ---

## Spotlight Trigger status to “Auto” I would like to have a rule trigger for V3Pro that allows me to set the Spotlight status to “Auto” instead of just “always on” or “staying off” so that I can set it up as a trigger or shortcut or schedule. ## Rationale/Example: I have a V3Pro in my family room and normally I like having the spotlight on Auto to double as a night light. BUT we have a baby swing in that room, so when I try to have the baby take a nap in there and turn off the lights to the room, the spotlight is continually triggered by the swing and shining right in the baby’s eyes. I have to manually go into the settings and switch the spotlight off of auto to off. Then after the baby’s nap is done I have to manually go set that back up on auto. It is tedious. I would love to be able to schedule when the spotlight switches back to Auto automatically, or set it up so that when I flip a contact sensor or push a shortcut it automatically turns the spotlight back onto “Auto”…currently we only have the option to turn the spotlight on or off, but **I’d love to be able to decide when to trigger the spotlight to “Auto” instead of permanently on or staying off.** ---

Create a trigger for camera on/off. Then allow a notification for camera on/off. This would just be to find out if a hacker has accessed the camera and changed it. Even a basic log of camera on/off would be useful. But a notification would be more useful. ---

Cam pan v3: Setting up triggers. I have two cams setup (driveway and front door both basic v3 cams) if either detects a person at night the sirens on v3s and v3 pan all go off. Would be nice if we could set the pan cam to turn to a certain position when a specific event is triggered. Then have it turn back to it’s original position (a user set home position) after set amount of time. ---

Wow Wishlist initiated in 2019 and now 2023!!! Seems like plenty of votes especially when you consider other wish list votes from closed / combined Wishlist items Perhaps this Wishlist is too big for Wyze to consume all at once? I’s like to selfishly ask that rules or shortcuts get tied to the HMS so I do not have to do two things when arming/disarming my system 1.) Arm the system 2.) run my short cut Seems common sense that these get tied together ---
