The simple answer is yes, but how are you going to be using the switch with the flood light?

To have the smart features of the flood lights and the attached camera work, it needs constant power and it can’t be turned off at the switch. The switch has a smart features which can be used to control the smart features of the floodlight, but again the flood light needs to be powered on for those to work.

Can you provide more information about your use case and how you want to integrate the switch and the flood light for a better answer to your question.

So the flood light is connected to constant power. Basically we want to toggle the floodlight “light” on/off with the switch versus having to toggle via the app.

Thanks,

Thank you so much for testing this so in-depth. It would be nice if the light stayed on longer than a minute.

Maybe Wyze will consider an upgrade to the firmware to fix this issue. This being a “security” type device it would help to be able to keep the light on for as long as I need since it pretty much the only light in that part our back yard.

Thank you again,
Aaron

After digging deeper into the settings. If you leave the floodlight motion setting to auto, you can set the timer a max of 15 minutes. That caused it to stay on for the full 15 minutes when toggled on from the icon in live stream screen.

Maybe it will also affect the functionality from the switch.

Would also love it if wyze let us control these lights with google or alexa assistant. Smh. Is wyze gonna survive the new upgrades all home automation companies are getting? Need to know before diving deep into wyze.

This thread might be dead, seeing as the laat post on it was over a year ago, but the Wyze Floodlight Pro light can now be turned on/off from smart home assistants (alexa/google/siri). Not sure when this functionality was added, or if it exists with the Pro floodlight and not the original, but turning the floodlight on from a smart home assistant does force it on until manually turned back off (will not trigger or disengage due to motion timeouts). Have been using this festure the past few montha without issue, and thought I’d share

Thanks for the update Kirby.
I think the original posted was trying to do what I am thinking which is wire the floodlight with permanent power but then put a wall switch in that can trigger the light to come on manually instead of reaching for the phone app and multiple clicks to turn the light on. Replicating the features of a physical light switch with an outdoor light. Control from a smartphone device is a nice second option. I will try to test if the regular floodlight can be voice assistant controlled.
