I Created a shortcut - Action - for Bulb to turn ON, Automation - triggered when it Wyzecam detects motion.

This is not working.

(it works well with the small motion sensor though).

Am I doing anything wrong?

I am doing this also, it does work but there is quite a delay due to the way the cam announces that it detects motion. I usually see it work 15 seconds or so after the motion which for my scenario is tolerable.

You are right, there is some delay.

The actual “I detected motion” event announcement occurs after the entire 12 second event video is sent to the cloud etc.
