I second the pressure sensor.
Another idea is for camera AI to detect fire or smoke indoor.
The cameras do currently detect the sound of Fire and CO alarms and can send a notification.

That’s true, I take that back. Thanks.
TV remote for seniors (dementia)
Please create a large TV remote with not many buttons for seniors. A cable box would be awesome too with 20- 100 channels that are easy to find. My 85 yr old mother constantly gets stuck in pay per view, changes the HDMI to another channel, gets channels that need subscription. And spends hours trying to fix her TV. As well, please create kitchen/bathroom sink taps that spring shut off as I worry about flooding. Sensor is difficult for dementia to remember and they might put a towel in the sink so spring on/off is best. Also kettle, toaster easy large buttons and microwave that doesn’t cook past 2 minutes. Also, a wall mounted weekly pill box that springs open when it’s time to take. My mother forgets if she just took her pills despite being in a blister pack from pharmacy but if you could design a wall device that will only open the little door when it’s time to take she won’t have to remember. Thank you!!!

This may be a solution for a TV remote.

Some thoughts here:
Pill box: There are many automated pill dispensers on the market. Google search: pill box timer - Google Search
Not sure which TV service you have, but most (Roku, AppleTV, Amazon FireTV) have child controls that you could set, password protected, that would prevent inadvertent subscriptions but still allow access to the stuff she watches.
I’m not sure what you mean by sink taps item, but there are devices on the market that will shut off the water when a leak is detected. One such product: https://getguardian.com
For limiting the run time on appliances, you could plug them into a Wyze plug, then program that plug to automatically turn off after it’s been on for X minutes. (I do that for my coffee grinder.) She would have to learn to push the button on the plug to activate the appliance.
These are all areas in which there is already a mature market, so it’s not likely that Wyze is going to invest in coming up with products in these areas.

One of the things you mentioned was a TV remote. And there is an existing Wishlist for that, that you can comment on and vote on if you wish but it’s labeled “maybe later” and I would guess for the reasons that Loki stated above.

Emergency Notifications for elderly or disabled
I recently had a scare with my elderly mom. She was home alone, I have a camera in her apartment. she had a small fire in her garbage, she could not find her phone and became disoriented when the smoke alarm went off. I have cam plus and just set up the sound alerts. the options are crying, meowing, barking talking ,gun shot, glass breaking. there is a greyed box that says other sound alerts but it can not be checked. I am requesting a sound alert for “HELP” she could have easily yelled HELP at the camera and the alert would have come up on my phone. this is not only good for the elderly and disabled, but children and really any emergency.
I appreciate your consideration for this request.

Good ideas.
Add a Call Button / Indoor Intercom - Senior In-home Care or Family Support
There are over 60 million seniors in the US alone. More and more seniors are moving into their adult kids homes because the lack of availability of senior facilities and their astronomical, unaffordable costs. I have two senior moms living with us. One is 91 years old-old, and the other is 73. They have been teaching us the range of needs and requirements of elderly care, but one thing is consistent…we need communication with them. One mom is immobile and spends most of her time in her spacious room, and the other is mobile with a fall habit. We have given them necklace pendant call buttons with plug in “ringers” to alert us they need something. It’s not always an emergency, so we don’t need to pay for expensive Life Alert Systems. The problem is we have gone through three separate brands that continually fail. The ringer boxes don’t always chime. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. One might ring and the others don’t, but we aren’t in the area of our home to hear that chime. Also, these don’t allow us to go outside and still be in range of hearing their call. A lot of seniors now don’t know or can’t remember phone numbers or how to make a call on modern phone, so using a phone/cell is out of the question. One more problem is that other companies may offer a call button with an ability to text your phone, but again, they are inconsistent and they include large subscription fees. Because we have been Wyze customers for years, and really like the products and services, we hope this is something you can add to help those families have one system in place for security, communication, and family care…
We have considered using the chargeable battery doorbell you already have available and turning off the cameras, so we don’t invade privacy. Then maybe the senior moms can push the doorbell button when they need us? Maybe we can use that to speak through and notify our phones if we are outside.
Really, this is the best solution:
Wyze meets a need with an intercom system with push button and speaking ability’s that is compatible with other in-home intercoms and/or phone app. Add the ability to wear a necklace/pendant/watch/etc. to alert the intercom/box chimes and cell phone app notifications. Make this a consistent working product, like your cameras, reasonably priced, and keep any fees for possible subscribers low and affordable.
Please help, there are a lot of us out here very frustrated.

I’ve been using the CallToU caregiver pager system for months now and they never fail. Unfortunately they don’t include an intercom so that still wouldn’t give you what you need. So I’d vote yes to the Wyze intercom system too.
I also put 2 cameras under the bed to detect motions during the night, but the Wyze chime is rather limited in its ability to customize chime sounds triggered by camera, and cannot limit repeated chimes when motion is detected continuously.

DIY Senior Alert Options & Ideas - Android Focus PHONE TYPE? Android/iOS helps tailor reply. I know Samsung, Android best. iOS not so much. None, nada.
1. WYZE OUTDOOR SIREN HACK (Immediate) Automation:
Wyze Automation Shortcut, siren on.
Shortcut: Siren OFF (shareable?) widgets on home screen if Mom’s can handle that.
Muffle siren w/ foam if needed (neighbor-proof)
2. PHONE app WIDGETS, example, Samsung S24 Ultra: Direct Dial widgets = ONE-TAP call kids on home screen. Lock screen widgets “may” be possible??
Accessibility settings, for dexterity issues, may have voice call, & more, setup, testing required.
Emergency SOS: Android settings, 5x power button = 911 + or texts call contacts
Medical ID type apps may do similarly.
3. GOOGLE NEST + GEMINI Fees? (Intercom) “Hey Google, broadcast ‘Help!’” → All speakers play.
4. ALEXA ECHO etc. Fees? “Alexa, drop in on Mom’s room” = 2-way talk
5. SAMSUNG SMARTTHINGS, Modes/Routines: Widget → Call + text family “may” be possible.
6. ADVANCED: TASKER + BT SPEAKERS. Steep learning curve, but almost full Android phone control. (Or maybe MacroDroid Android app is easier?)
PUSH WYZE: Software button for Sense Hub (no fees). Forum users vote! Or, Automations for speak thru cameras or a speaker shortcuts etc.
All my ideas are DIY set-up, however you can leverage free Ai, Gemini, Chatgpt, Grok, etc. for setup help, take everything an Ai says with a grain of salt, trust but verify.
Most elderly help systems seem money oriented and I understand money is needed to stay in business. And they may not even cover all apects needed.
I have more DIY system ideas but I think I’ve said enough. 
For Siri help, Ai or Apple techy friends and family.
I had another thought, fees may apply, $5 or more per line, if a Verizon user, which I am not, remember the old Nextel push to talk? Verizon has that, Verizon Push to Talk Plus. And there are apps that do it also. Fees may apply, but generally not majorly expensive. Example, Zello PTT Walkie Talkie, Play Store
Happy new year.
Any movement in Wyze developing a simple necklace alert button for seniors? I already an Alexa to talk with him thru and a panable Wyze camera. I just want him to have a necklace button, similar to call2you, he can press if he actually falls. Currently he is carrying a Wyze doorbell with him just in case, but it’s heavy!
I do have a call2you set and I think for times when I’m not at home, I might put one of the receivers inside a usually quiet place (closet), and put a Wyze 2 next to the receiver with sound detection turned on. Maybe one of call2you’s alarm options can even trigger the smoke alarm sound detection.
