Alexa and Wyze cam v3

[grapefruityoda]

If you are trying to view the V3 cameras with Echo Show then try renaming the camera names in Alexa. I have several V3 cameras and they work fine with my Echo Show 5 (2019 1st gen) and Echo Show 8 (2019 1st gen & 2021 2nd gen).

Alexa Not Responding - Doorbell V2

Well, okay then. Trying it again now… DUH, …now it works as Front Door Cam. Let me try reenabling 2 factor auth and see what happens…DUH now it works all ways. I cannot bring the issue back any longer. As far as I can guess right now, there was an issue with alexa integration that got fixed between the time I experienced the repeated pattern and now. But sure enough, I can name them anything now. Still I have to wonder why it is that Wyze put a statement into the troubleshooting guide…

Alexa Not Responding - Doorbell V2

Wait, the issue came back last night in the following manner. The last thing I did on this issue was re-disable two factor auth on my account. This action unlinked Alexa and I did not know it. I relinked my Alexa account. My “Door Cam” was still named as “Front Door Cam”, while the other camera was still named “Driveway Cam”. Toggling the 2 factor auth and causing the Alexa account unlinking brought the issue back just after the relink process. I then renamed the “Front Door Cam” back…

If you are trying to enable Person Detection trigger with Alexa or Person Notification with Alexa, then I believe Cam Plus or Cam Plus Lite subscription is required.
