See this previous post by someone who found out that the floodlight’s power supply is rated 110~220V. It was probably floodlight v1. Could the pro be the same?
Thank you for this thread reference.
When you look at it keenly, it’s akin to gambling with your money, no? The first thing is that your warranty is void from the outset. So the only way to go this route is if you have some bucks you don’t mind losing.
However, when the spec says 120/240v, you buy it with confidence.
Kudos to the marketing department!
In the promotional pics for the new bulb cam, the 7th image shows a color gradient bar at the bottom. Other text mentions it’s dimmable through the app but is it also capable of changing color? I didn’t see that written. I NEED more of an orange-ish light in the summer to keep the insects away from my front door. My current bulb cam do everything but what I need!
Check out the FAQ on the product page:
Can I change the color temperature of the bulb?
No, Wyze Bulb Cam and Wyze Accessory Bulb’s color temperature are fixed at 3000K and cannot be changed.
The Tech specs section also mentions only a single color temperature.
I see what you mean about the one image, and I think that’s intended to represent the camera’s ability to record continuously (night and day) to microSD. I can see how that might be interpreted as a color gradient, though.
Welcome to the Forum, @robmu! ![]()
Just confirming, if you don’t subscribe to a paid cam plus plan in the app you will only see snapshots of motion with option to go to location on SD card for activity (which never works).
I follow the @LifeHacker YT channel, and he usually has the most detailed and well-balanced reviews of anything sent to him.
The fact that Wyze did not send these to him for review says a lot about these new products.
Give them a day or two. There is probably an NDA that prohibits them from pre-announcing.
I like their reviews also.
What am I missing here? When did Canada or US change Electrical Standards?
That is exactly why I haven’t bought any of them. I need them to follow a person not butterflies.
I saw this and went that’s awesome, then realized it’s not a color RGBW bulb and went awe shucks, maybe next time. I’ve got 6 of those “old barn style” outdoor lights on 16 ft 4x4 post around a concrete pad where my camper is and use RGBW lights (just because) to display the lights of the current Holliday in a random pattern, ( and spooky green when it’s foggy ) this would be nice for there, but I don’t want a random white light.
Based on the resolution and FOV, I think Bulb Cam is using the same sensor as Floodlight V2 so no Starlight sensor.
Can the Bulb Cam be manually flashed?
I wonder if you can control the light on the Bulb Cam via Alexa or Google Home ?
Since the Accessory Bulb only have BLE supported and no WiFi chip, it is very likely you can’t control them from Alexa or Google Home individually. You’ll have to use Wyze app interface to control them like their Floodlights.
Can I turn on/off individual accessory bulbs?
No, Wyze Bulb Cam settings are applied to all accessory bulbs.
The light setting you have for Wyze Bulb Cam is uniformly applied to all of the linked accessory bulbs.
If your Wyze Bulb Cam light is off, all accessory bulbs will be off as well. If your Wyze Bulb Cam’s light is set to turn on with motion, all linked accessory bulbs will turn on with motion. You cannot turn on and off individual accessory bulbs.
Has anyone here had a good experience with Wyze lighting products? I have Hue and Wyze and Hue will turn on/respond to sensors so fast I forgot it isn’t wired. Wyze lights… well, they’re all in a box at the moment. Why would this one be any different?
I honestly don’t know anything about Canada electrical standards. I just asked the question in the AMA because someone else asked. Now I have people in Reddit saying the rest of the world needs this anyway, so I’ll just update it for everyone else (outside of USA) in general when I get a chance.
The question was rhetorical, not aimed at you but aimed at whoever was complaining about Wyze products not working in Canada. Canada and US have always had the same electrical standards, 110V/60Hz.
Mine has generally been good with Bulb Color (A19 & BR30), Light Strip, and Light Strip Pro. They play well with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, and I’ve even occasionally used the lights with IFTTT Applets. Vacation Mode has never reliably worked as advertised for those or the Plugs, though, and that’s an ongoing disappointment. I don’t expect that to be a “feature” for this product, though.
I think the main difference here is that the Accessory Bulb really is an add-on to Bulb Cam and not an independent lighting product, at least as I understand it. It can provide extra illumination for the camera and respond in sync with the camera’s built-in bulb, but it’s not really intended to be placed without a camera to control it, I don’t think.
That makes sense as it appears the camera does not have Starlight sensor so it needs all the illumination it can get.
That’s good to hear. I have 6 (2019) bulbs that no longer can be used because the wifi network changed and Wyze no longer supports these bulbs in any meaningful way.
The Wyze bulbs I’ve bought since that run on BLE seem to respond to commands maybe 1 out of 10 times, I don’t have a clue why. I have similar issues with A19 BLE from Nanoleaf, so maybe that’s me, but I’ve given up on Wyze lighting.
I bought a pair of Kasa color bulbs after my 2019 Wyze bulbs died. Then someone gifted me two new wyze white bulbs. No issue with either.
