I would like my Wyze Vacuum to run any time I leave the house (and trigger a geofence). This could be added as a feature in the Wyze app, and/or by adding Wyze Vaccuum support to the IFTTT integration (so we can make a recipe using IFTTT’s Location triggers).

You should already be able to trigger the vacuum via a Location Trigger. If you don’t see this feature under Create Rule, please state your Wyze app version and Vacuum firmware version:
Don’t forget the permission settings for geofencing. I think I had to set location for Wyze app to Always and Precise Location. And turn Background App Refresh on for the Wyze app.
this was for a similar problem with geofencing in the android app. I am trying to trigger the lights on by location. Alexa handled this before I found the location triggers in the wyze app, but apparently just there for looks.
moto g8 power running v11. Location permissions are allowed all the time in android along with background restriction- the app can use battery in the background.
Your problem is either phone settings, app settings and/or created Rule.
Phone settings… I’m not familiar with G8 and Moto’s My UX, but here are some general Android 11 settings to check:
Android Settings > Location > Improve accuracy > Toggle both WiFi and Bluetooth scanning on
Android Settings > Location > App permissions > Wyze > Allow all the time
Android Settings > Apps > Special access > Wi-Fi control > Wyze > Allow app to control Wi-Fi > toggle on
Sounds like you already checked battery settings to disallow putting the Wyze app to sleep. Seting is at: Android Settings > Apps > Special access > Optimize battery usage > All > Wyze > toggle off
If you have an auto-memory cleaner, make sure you exclude the Wyze app to keep it running in the background.
Wyze app settings:
Wyze app Home > Account > App Settings > Running in the background > toggle on
Rule:
Please post a screenshot of your Rule/Location Trigger.
Also, check your Rule history to see if your rule triggered: Wyze app Home > Account > Rules > History > look for your rule name and tap the down icon to the right to expand for details.
