Please add a command to allow Alexa to turn the camera on/off. This would be very useful.

Think about what you are asking for, telling Alexa turn off your camera and now I can rob your house.
All of the door lock companies refuse to add any unlock commands to Alexa due to the security risk.
I know I would not want that feature.

A burglar would need to know the name I assigned to the Wyze cam in Alexa. Not likely they would guess what my camera is named. Only I would know that.

Just noticed you liked a post here on this very old thread. These topic have moved to our Wishlist
I saw wise cams are now Alexa enabled, so I bought a few with the specific goal of being able to turn them off/on using an Alexa Routine so I don’t have to open the app and turn them each on/off one by one everytime I get home ( so I’m not receiving constant notifications or being filmed without clothes). Although I can add them successfully to Alexa using her skill, there seems to be no ability to tell her to simply turn them on or off, which seems like a fundamental function to consider them …
Be sure to vote by clicking the VOTE button at the top.
I added a smart plug to accomplish it, but would prefer if the feature were just built into the camera. I’d love to be able to turn off/on my cameras without having to go into the app or rely on third party smart plugs.
