I don’t know how you guys are able to do any automation involving the floodlights… The missing “Turn floodlight on for…” on the new Wyze Floodlight Cam (and Pro as well) is killing me! Meaning after another device trigger my floodlights they stays on forever.

Have you look tried going to the settings of the Floodlight Pro or other, select Floodlight settings, then Motion and select All Motion or Smart Detection. From their you can set the Light Off Timer as well. I have a schedule set for sunset to sunrise for turning the light on if a person or pet is…

Yes, I do have the Light Off Timer set to 3min, but unfortunately it does not apply when triggered by automation.

absolutely true. What do you have triggering it? More Curious than anything else. Something different than Person, Pet, or Vehicle?

it is triggered… by another device, not by the cam itself or sensor. Context: I have a 600-ft entryway and I want my main entry cam to trigger the floodlights around the house when a car comes in at night, but just for a few minutes. (House cams are too far from the road to trigger themselves any…

Thanks for tagging me. I don’t own any Cam Floodlight products, though, so I’m not going to be very useful to this topic. :grimacing: [image] spamoni: there is another way, but will require a Wyze plug. This is exactly what I was thinking, given @alcyon ’s use case.

I would agree. I am going to check to see if there is a Wishlist item for it. Hope the plug works out for you. I actually have done that before and it worked quite well. I do a similar thing through Alexa to view my Doorbell on a Show I have. Basically when the doorbell is pressed, I trigger th…

Floodlight V1 has “Turn on Floodlight for” xx minutes. Why can’t V2 and pro have the same action? Is it not supported by the hardware?
