Rather than waiting for this to be implemented, I have installed a 3rd party Android app that will customize the sound of the notification for every individual device or device type as well as every type of notification (person, vehicle, sensor, automation etc.) Among many many other programmable actions and behaviors.
there are a lot of Android apps out there that claim to do this, but many are buggy/unreliable. Which one did you manage to use with Wyze? thx
Follow the link above. It is explained in detail in that post. I am using MacroDroid and Free Notification Reader together.
I just discovered that I could set this thread to muted, which means I will no longer receive emails whenever anyone posts/replies to it. Since I started using BuzzKill to manage all my Android phoneâs notifications (not just Wyze), I no longer care if Wyze comes out with custom notifications.

The ability to turn off notifications for each type of AI is available on select cams. It was being tested previously. I can currently do this on my CamPan V1:
The good news is that this IS coming to the V3 with the next public Firmware update (and hopefully more cams in the future). It is currently available on the latest V3 Beta FW build that was just released for testing on the V3. If you would like to test the beta, you can Sign Up to Become a Beta Tester
Since you are on Android, you do have a couple of options to make it a bit more user friendly until they start developing this feature.
Android does allow you to change the notification tone specific to the App notification channel the notifications are coming in on (For the Wyze App, this is the WyzeMessage channel):
(this is for Android 11, yours may vary slightly depending on your OS version):
- Android
Settings â Apps & Notifications â See All (#) Apps - Scroll down to the Wyze App and select it
- Select âNotificationsâ
- Select âWyzeMessageâ
- Select âAdvancedâ to expand it
- Select Sound (should be set to default)
- Choose the sound from your Root Notifications Folder that you would like to assign as the new tone for all Wyze push notifications.
You can also download any tones you like and assign those.
If you would like to hear a different notification tone for each type of detection (motion, sound, person, pet, package, vehicle, alarm, automation, sensor, etc.); Or if you would also like to hear a different notification tone for each individual cam or device; Or if you would like the text of your Wyze push notifications read out loud by the Google girl in your phone⌠these can all be accomplished using 3rd party apps. See this post 
for a detailed description of how I am accomplishing this (you can reply over there if you have comments or questions about these).

Thank you! I did get the tone changed. I have v3 cameras. It will be so nice once we will be able to choose which events we want push notifications for.

Hi, Is there a wish list area? I was thinking it would be nice to have a separate Notification for person notification. This way I could assign a different ringtone. A lot of times, I get so many notifications that say motion Or person I ignore a lot of them. The Person notification is pretty good and reliable. But the ringtone is the same, although the onscreen notification says person I donât always look at my phone.
Thanks.
Antonio

Yeah this never worked unfortunately
You havenât been able to customize your App Notifications Tone for Wyze Push Notifications on Android 11? I am running Android 11 (Moto). This is how I changed mine:
Yes please!
Proper notification categories implementation across Wyze services & devices
Please, please implement a proper notifications scheme for Android. I should not have to buy a license to Buzzkill to filter entirely useless notifications from useful. Hereâs my use case:
With Wyze home monitoring, I get a notification every time someone arms or disarms the system⌠with no way to turn that off (very annoying, multiple times per day). The only way? Blocking ALL notifications from the Wyze app within Android settings â which is a pretty brutal workaround, when I also have cameras that canât then notify me for packages + a Wyze doorbell that canât notify me when someone rings it!!
Give us a way to control notifications, through notification categories, like most other apps. Meantime, itâs hard not to regret investing so heavily into the Wyze ecosystem (multiple/different kinds of devices).
just want to know when a delete option will be coming to remove all a.i from my account and keeping off my account and my vids and pics completely ?
This is basically already an option since AI analyzing videos or sending AI notifications is opt-in only. As long as you donât subscribe to Cam Plus, Cam Plus Lite or Cam Protect, you donât have any AI Analysis of your videos.
If you still want cloud recording but no AI trying to detect objects or send notifications (as this request is actually about notifications), just deselect every detection besides motion detection and youâll still get cloud events saved, but the AI wonât analyze or tag the video.
If you arenât talking about AI detections and AI notifications, can you elaborate on what other kind of AI you want removed from your account? Perhaps we have another more relevant wishlist option for that. If not, it could be worth starting one depending on a more detailed explanation.

Echoing many of the sentiments here, âmotion detectedâ really should be a separate notification category than âdoorbell pressedâ. For example I want my motion detected notification to be a short beep while the doorbell notification needs to be a Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding. Right now they all go into the same WyzeMessage it seems.
It should be trivially easy. I hate to make assumptions about code I havenât seen, but I know this is something an intern can pull off quickly. Also reminds me why as consumers we should stick to open source products, if the Wyze app was open source, I could make this fix myself.
After all this time, I still donât understand why there are multiple âWyzeMessageâ notification channels that appear in Android settings for the app. Iâm not a developer, but seeing this makes me think it was originally coded by someone who doesnât understand how channels are intended to work and then just ignored by subsequent developers who have no interest in fixing it.

Adding to this thread, I also had to rely on a 3rd party apps to at least get some customization of the doorbell notifications vs AI detection of other things. So I will post my Tasker profile and the two tasks which will run when the profile intercepts the Wyze doorbell ring notification.
Breaking this down a bit more (but will not go into an in-depth tutorial on setting these things up in Tasker, there are enough tutorials for people to learn that themselves):
-
The profile which intercepts the Wyze doorbell ring notification relies on a Tasker plugin called AutoNotification (this is a paid app but only a couple dollars). This plugin makes it very straightforward to intercept notifications in real-time based on filters like what app is generating the notification, what the title/text of the notification says, etc. I relied on these filters to grab the right notification.
(on an Android phone, you can get my profile here: link) -
The main or âparentâ task is where I set up the custom notification. Without getting into too much detail, I didnât set up the task to the exact parameters of the sound/priority/vibration for the notification within Tasker. The way Tasker works is that it generates a notification category in the Android system under Taskerâs notification settings. I called this category âDoorbellâ in my task. Once this category is created, you can then change the exact notification details like sound, where/how the notification shows up, etc. from the system settings.
(this task can be downloaded here: link) -
Finally, there is a 2nd task I had to create which I nested in the first one. This had to be done because of the way Tasker is built (again, intricacies). This task adds the ability to interact with the notification so that when the custom notification for the doorbell ring is generated, you can click on the notification, the notification will then be cleared from the system, and the Wyze app is opened
(this task can be downloaded here: link)
The custom notification which gets generated isnât perfect by any means, but at least you can choose any sounds you would like and the your own desired options for the way Android doorbell ring notifications behave in general separate from other Wyze notifications. There isnât any Wyze integration into Tasker unfortunately so all the notification can do is open the main or starting Wyze app page (and there likely will never be any Tasker integration considering I having to utilize this approach just to get different notifications for a doorbell when people have been asking for this feature for yearsâŚso yeah). I have my doorbell as one of favorites so it is at the top of my list on the starting page when I open the task.
Hopefully this will benefit some people if they can get my profiles and tasks running on their own phones.
