What steps have you attempted to reduce notifications? I agree that there’s a lot of extraneous noise, especially when using the cameras without subscriptions. Sometimes reducing sensitivity and/or setting appropriate Detection Zones can be helpful.
My understanding is that the new NBD Filter is supposed to eliminate a lot of this notification overload, but that requires a premium subscription.
There are also some existing Wishlist items that might be relevant:
You can visit those topics, hit the Vote button above the initial posts, and share your ideas and use cases in the comments to show your support.
Wyze also introduced a “Snooze notification for” action in a fairly recent update, and it looks like the lower limit for that one is 10 minutes, so you could potentially create a Device & Service Trigger Automation, something like this:
- IF
- Mailbox Camera
- Detects motion
- Mailbox Camera
- DO
- Mailbox Camera
- Snooze notification for 10 minutes
- Mailbox Camera
Something like that might be worth trying. I think you have a lot of options for reducing your frustration—and I totally understand the frustration—though it may involve some time and tinkering on your part. Let us know what works!
