Home Assistant (HA) and Wyze

[spamoni]

Thanks for the info.

Started a rebuild, but this is great information.

@chasjabber and @WildBill

Just got done with the Rebuild. Will now touch it up overtime. Will also be adding the other features. Found a nice Theme Pack to provide 20+ variances or types.

Will be adding another button for Everylight to be turned on - that will fill the last empty spot

Here is my starter Dashboard:

[WildBill]

Very disappointed. Reading a lot of posts on the the github for this sounds like V2 sensors are not currently supported and V1 sensors never will be. Have you found something different? I see in your screenshot motion detection of two sensors…does it actually work? Are your V1s connected to the new hub or the old bridge?

[spamoni]

I have my V1 sensors and V2 Sensors connected to the new V2 hub. The dashboard does accurately show when motion is detected on V1 and V2 for me.

The orange color indicates motion on the indoor sensor. I will take another screen shot for the outdoor motion and door sensors.

I am using Joshua’s Wyze API.

[WildBill]

Me too but sensors aren’t working, neither the V1 or V2.

[spamoni]

When say aren’t working, what are you meaning?

Here is an image of my doors and motion and lights. the blue bulbs are the color the bulbs come on at when garage door is open.

I will setup a rule as well and see if it works for me.

[WildBill]

HA isn’t reflecting doors opening. Icons always show closed. Just rebooted the Pi to see if anything changes.

[spamoni]

LOL – I let HA pick the card by default. I used the Selection by Entity. There is also a setting to change the color, by default it is off and looks like it is not working.

here is the setting:

Here is Yaml for what I used. I am using a Vertical Stack. Might help.

What I think is cool, but not sure how I did it or it does it, the color bulbs will display as the color you selected. So if I set them to turn Red, the Dashboard Bulb will show red.

[WildBill]

After a reboot, icons are updating.

[spamoni]

Perfect, this opens up a whole new way of doing this. Later today, I am going to group some motion sensors together and make sure I can trigger lights coming on and off based on the Virtual or grouped motion sensor.

I believe @carverofchoice is also looking for this.

Using this, also allows for the integration and sharing between Wyze Products and others. So far looking good.

Question on your Glance Card, can you tap on the card and turn bulbs on and off? I use buttons for this.

[WildBill]

Yes…they turn on and off, but no controls for brightness or colors.

[spamoni]

ok. On the button, you long press to get the other options

[WildBill]

Need to check out other options for my setup. Been mostly using my Ubuntu laptop rather than phone or iPad. Was primarily looking for integration of various vendor stuff. Now I see a lot of other possibilities.

[spamoni]

I am currently using an UnRaid Nas box which allows for the Docker App. I may eventually get a HA Blue Box. But for my testing, this is working fine and is rather powerful.

Once Wyze comes out with their own and/or they get into the Matters effort, I would considering using one of their products cause then things will become compliant.

[WildBill]

My backend is a Pi4 running HassOS. Using the browser on Ubuntu for managing things.

[spamoni]

Ahhh. I use a Chromebook to manage it. I have an older Pixelbook. Nice cause it also integrates with my Android Phone, which is a Pixel as well.

[WildBill]

I can see were we might be able to do some sort of geofencing with this since HA has that capability plus the ability to activate or deactivate HMS.

[spamoni]

True, I also believe we can take advantage of the Sunrise to Sunset and not set times for things to change.
