How to Turn Off Notifications on Devices Shared to Me

Yes. I do this. I know for sure the following notification parsing apps work on Android to let you selectively turn off notifications for specific cameras without affecting other people:

  • Macrodroid
  • Buzzkill
  • Tasker

I don’t recall if those have a Freemiun version or if they all charge a fee, but I paid for them all.

I do know there are some open source alternatives that are free. I don’t recall their names offhand though. The above 3 apps have worked great for all my needs.

Basically as stated by Dave27, you would just tell the notification parsing apps to watch for a notification from the Wyze app with that camera name and tell it to intercept and automatically dismiss it before it shows up. You’ll never see it, it won’t vibrate or make a sound, etc. It will be like it never existed.

I do this a lot because there are some notifications that I want one phone to intercept and use as an automation trigger (I make the app send a web hook to home assistant trigger an automation), then have my primary phone dismiss and ignore the notification because I don’t actually care or need to see it on my primary phone.

If you have iOS, you’re out of luck because Apple doesn’t allow it’s users or app developers to have any access to do customization stuff, including any access to the OS’s general notification API. I don’t expect Apple will change any of this for at least another half decade at best, and then probably only if the EU forces them to expand their customization options.
