When Camera A detects motion turn on Wyze Plug A for 30 minutes.

The “turn on for X time” action is currently broken on the server resulting in unpredictable behavior. Wyze is aware of this issue and working on a fix. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a temporary solution, please read the following:

Cam V3 Automation To Turn ON Garage Lights

I just tested your automations and you are correct. There is a bug where the “turn on for X time” value is completely unpredictable and unreliable. Sometimes turn off occurs when motion is no longer detected, sometimes it’s just a random time less than the specified time, and sometimes it actually turns off at the specified time.

Regression - Turn On For x Minutes

Wyze must have broken the “turn on for X” action on the server. Until Wyze fixes this, separate turn on and turn off actions. Change your current action from “Turn on for X” to “Turn on”.
