When floodlight is set to auto and someone inside wants to see outside, what means are there to turn it on, on request? Can you use Google Home/Alexa? Must you find a phone & use the Wyze app? Can another Wyze device inside the house be setup to trigger it On? (via a cam/sensor, watch, etc)
If it’s not available via Google Home/Alexa… that seems like a high priority feature, no? Kinda a requirement for me.
thanks for any info
Hi @TechJunkie,
You can turn the Floodlight On and Off using the Double, Triple, or Press and Hold options on the Wyze Switch.
You can create a On/Off shortcut for the flood light and use the shortcut option on the Wyze Watch.
It’s been awhile since I have used my Wyze Band so I am not 100% sure if the Band is an option at this time, but I am 80% sure you can use the shortcut on there as well.
You could also use a Wyze Contact Sensor and rules “When Open turn on / When Closed Turn Off” and treat it like a on/off “switch”.
Alexa/Google Home: I do not see any routines at this time or settings in Alexa to be able to turn On/Off the floodlight, and do not have Google home to speak to that platform.
Hope this helps
Absolutely, thank you! I appreciate all the current & thorough info
If you use a short cute rule or use an additional control on the switch , the floodlight will only be on for less than a minute.
The only way you can keep the floodlights ON, is by having to go into the floodlight settings and switching the floodlight control to ON.
