The only available option for now is to create a separate account for your different HMS.
But it’s so frustrating. I have an Airbnb and will have more. I want to monitor all on one account. Not possible. Please Wyze make this possible.
So glad to find this before I ordered 2nd wyze for home, come on guys get this done!
Yup actually need multiple home setup asap!
Ability to configure multiple sense hubs to a single single Wyze account while allowing specific sensors defined to specific hubs
Use case: multiple physical locations and want to manage all v2 sensors, alerts, monitoring, and payments from a single Wyze account.
How it would work:
- In the Wyze app, the user defines one or more groups or locations such as Seattle and Bozeman or Home and Workshop
- whenever a new v2 sensor or hub is added, it must be added to an existing (or new) group
- each group or sensors in a group can have different alert, notification, and other settings
- when an event is triggered, the notifications include the name of the group that sensor is a member of allowing the recipient to clearly know which group or location name the alert is associated with
- for any shared alerts or notifications, those are applied at either the group level or per sensor
Benefits
Allows a single Wyze account to manage multiple installations and configs of Wyze sense hubs and v2 sensors. No need to setup and manage multiple Wyze accounts and logins.
Simplified billing - one credit card, one charge, same time every month (or year)
Bundling - could allow for discounts on multiple, monitored locations/sites or insurance
Organizes the configuration and control of devices into pre-defined groups instead of a flat-file type list

Is this a current feature or something planned for the future?
This forum thread is a #wishlist topic… users are suggesting a new change/addition to a Wyze service (Home Monitoring).
Wishlist? More like an ignore list They haven’t made a single change since this was started.
Single change to what?
Any of the “wishes” have not been granted aka changed. Wyze is not responsive to us customers instead they just sell new stuff and discontinue old versions.
So long rant summed up, I bet these won’t be be added to existing hardware instead they will eventually make a new version and just tell v2 users we have to buy all new stuff. (This happened to cameras and many other Wyze products)
I don’t know, I have seen TONS of wishlist items that have become a reality and officially launched.

Please peruse the #roadmap category. Every item you see is a former wishlist request submitted by a fellow Wyze user and expanded upon via use case replies. Roadmap items with a “launched” status are former wishlist requests that have been implemented.
I understand your frustration with this particular wishlist item. I also need support for multiple HMS tied to a single account to cover 2 properties. I also need multiple PINs. And shared access with other household members, guests, etc., where I am the primary stakeholder delving out limited/restricted HMS permissions. All of these items are wishlist requests or roadmap items and all Wyze has publicly stated they are committed to developing these features. I don’t have inside info on timing & marketing, but I have faith that Wyze will come through for us and probably at no additional cost. With regards to this particular wishlist item, I’m already paying for 2 systems and subscriptions. It’s a pain having to use 2 accounts for monitoring and Wyze is well aware of the issues we face.

All happy customers using Wyze HMS will like to have other address and office to use same system. This will automatically double Wyze sales… looking forward to have this enabled and be able to monitor from one phone
Zackaryfam, about multiple homes. Can I set up multiple homes with different email addresses and the same phone number. It seems a bit absurd but if I create three different email addresses for three homes. Ie…… HomeABC-1@domain.com…. HomeDEF-2@domain.com…. HomeGHI-3@domain.com and have the same one phone number for Wyze to call in case of alert.
I like the Wyze system as it allows me to have a security system with multiple sensors. When you are remote such as I am or renting your property you need to watch multiple issues. Is it being broken into, is the heat on, has the water sprung a leak, is the door locked??? Wyze puts that in one package.
As you indicated there are 1,000’s of people like yourself that have Airbnb or VRBO businesses that need to monitor their property. And, myself being a fortunate Baby Boomer too have multiple homes. In AZ prior to COVID-19 approximately 1 million snowbirds came. It is down to about 300,000 now but again increasing. Florida has an even larger number.
Wyze is missing out on the Baby Boomer generation. I know many like to hate us for various reasons. But, whether like like or dislike retirees we Baby Boomers hold 70% of the disposable income in the USA and spend more than any other generation, across all categories. Maybe Wyze just thinks we’re old, stupid people that can’t understand technology. And, maybe to a certain extent that’s true. But, there are many of us that were pioneers in the technology industry and created the foundation of the technology we use and take for granted today.
It disappoints me that I don’t believe Wyze has a proper perspective of who they currently are selling to or could be selling products to.
Multiple Home support could expand their Home Monitoring service significantly.

I’ll reply again to this request from many people. I only hope that someone at Wyze might actually be looking at this feed. Please enable multiple locations within one account.
It would make me immensely happy if SOMEONE from the Wyze company would respond to this thread. The option for adding a home is already in the app, although greyed out.
Is there a plan to implement the option and if so, when?
add me to the list looking for home monitoring at more than one location. i agree it would be huge plus for wyze. volume would go up. i think it would make more money than selling the wyze car???
Wyze,….lots of interest here and many use cases. Two homes or boats or AirBNB or parents or children or storage house. All of these second locations will be filled with more Wyze stuff beyond sensors like cameras, like vacuums, like all the stuff. Recurrent charge streams to boot.
Thanks for your prompt priority of this huge request.
Need ability to monitor multiple homes alarms under one app account.
We had purchased 2 home alarm account when it first came out and still to date one system is seating in the box waiting for the ability to have 2 accounts setup under one app account. Having 2 log ins and managing 2 accounts is not practical. There are other updates that most systems have that also should be updated.
PLEASE SEARCH #wishlist and #roadmap and read the How to Use the Wishlist BEFORE POSTING. If your submission is approved, don’t forget to VOTE for it.
Respectfully, it’s pretty disappointing to see that this feature was requested well over a year ago and clearly has substantial support. I find it curious when a solutions’ provider doesn’t act diligently and intentionally to create a resolution. For everyone who takes the time to comment, imagine how many people want the same thing and are not taking the time to mention it.
Anyhow—add me to the list of someone with multiple locations that wants more out of their camera solution.
As a user, and the owner of more Wyze products than I care to think about, I’ve have found that their responses are less than appropriate. It seems like they all go in the “Circle 8 file ”

Add me to the long list of people who have multiple homes (personal + AirBnB). Wyze is now starting to sell AirBnB starter kits for home monitoring, but the app doesn’t support entering more than 1 home. Seems like a ‘miss’ IMO.
