I agree, I’m eagerly awaiting this functionality as well. Let’s start with being able to Chromecast the camera feed to a TV!
So far this thread has not been actionable. “Integrate with Google Assistant” is meaningless. What specifically, do you want it to do or accomplish with Google Assistant? “OK Google. Tell Wyze Cam to record video”? Do you want to display wyze cam on tv on voice command? Save clips to google drive? Turn on lights when motion is detected? State some specific objectives/goals please.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the enthusiasm for our product! Next up for Smart Home Integration will be Alexa, but we do have Google Home under consideration as the next integration.
As @BillyCrook mentioned, if you would like to give examples of what you would like to see integration with Google Home I will document it and make sure the Devs see the feedback.
ifttt integration will provide you with whatever it is you want to get out of google assistant integration. imho alexa is terrible at voice commands and the compatibility is limited. using ifttt i was able to connect wyzecam to google drive/photos and save images as well as setup various alert with trigger actions. if you have not played with ifttt now is the time.
I would love to be able to ask Google Assistant to see the video feed from one of my wyze cams on my chromecast!

I like playing with ifttt but a native integration with Google Home/Assistant would be nice. Example above, “Hey Google show my wyze cam”, sees feed on Chromecast.

Ifttt doesn’t always work. I would love to be able to add certain wyze requests to google assistant routines. When I say “ok Google I’m home” along with other things that triggers that it will also tell the cameras to turn off motion detection and turn off push notifications. I like the options that are on IFTTT but as I said before they don’t always trigger flawlessly

Nalights,
I set up one for Alexa. I say, “Alexa, trigger I’m home”. She sends a “Turn off notifications” to my Wyze app. “Alexa, trigger I’m leaving”, and she Turns the notifications back on…and it’s instant!
You should be able to do that with Google assistant. Google assistant=trigger, Wyze=service. You can also add the push button widgets to your phone home screens too, and that is instant as well! Check it out. Hope this helps you.
<!–more–>thanks for the suggestions.<i> There are several options i can do. However none are as clean and simple as native control through Google home/assistant. I want one command to do all the things i want. Thanks again for the suggestions. </i>
Telling my Google Home to show me “camera X (your camera name)” on “living room TV (your chromecast name)” would be awesome!

Foolishly updated firmware, before reading comments. Now cameras won’t connect. I’ve uplugged them, deleted software to reinstall which now Won’t reinstall. You started off so well, then too 100 steps backwards! I just purchased two new models from thankfully Amazon. Returning ASAP. Hope you get your problems resolved. I might return, but thankfully I have my Nest cameras as primary…???
+1 on Google Assistant integration
i would like to do the following:
Add Wyzecam options to my Google Routines, for example enable/disable motion detection and alerts/push notifications for a camera or a group of cameras
Ask Assistant to show me the video feed of a specific camera
Thanks!

Absolutely agree! My entire home is essentially opperated by a “Hey Google” or “Okay Google” command. The only things I have left are my Wyze products and my Roomba 
Everyone that visits my home are appalled at the simplicity and seemless integration of these smart devices in my life, and I have no doubt that linking somehow with Google would increase the popularity of Wyze devices!
+1 here too. No Alexa, but I have Google Home (and Assistant on my smartphone). You could do some really fancy stuff with the Google Assistant on mobile devices, and it would work on both iOS & Android. The new Google Homes with Smart Displays will be able to use it too, and would leverage a lot of the same work.
Google Assistant/Home support please!
I posted this to another thread :
I would dispute the number of Apple home devices vs. Alexa. Amazon established the Echo infrastructure first, and I was an early adaptor. You have to remember that Wyze founders were all Amazon employees. So it makes perfect sense to develop Alexa integration first. I am sure their expertise will gradually move to the Home kit and Google Home environment.
I am now viewing my four Wyze cameras on an Echo Show. Does it have all the capabilities I want!? No. Far from it. But I am confident they will come. Keep in mind this is a young company thaot is rapidly evolving and offering products and services at excellent price points.
Definitely interested in Google Assistant/Google Home integration, and particularly the ability to cast Wyze video. And here’s a subtle reminder that Google Home is rapidly gaining market share on Amazon Alexa:

Same here. I’m 100% Google Home and have most of my house automated. Mirror or cast camera video to Chromecast would be great. Also some very basic voice commands such as record video, stop recording, play last/recent alert, enable/disable motion tracking, sentry mode on/off among other commands would be a great start.

Sad they chose Alexa integration over Google. I wouldn’t consider any listening/monitoring device from Amazon in my home. I don’t trust any tech companies implicitly, however at least Google has some levels of transparency, which is really easy to find btw - Google Transparency Report
If you think Google isn’t listening, you’re in a bubble. ?
