I haven’t tried it yet, but does this “Snooze” the notifications in the sense that it will hold them until the snooze time is over and then send them all at once, or does this snooze the notifications on and off so that anything that would have come in during the snooze period is just ignored, and things return to working again only for NEW notifications that would normally come after the snooze period ends.
ie: if I tap snooze for 1 hour at 1pm, then a person is detected at 1:30pm, what will happen at 2pm? Will I be notified of that person from 1:30pm, or only be notified of people who are detected after 2pm when the snooze period ends?
It’s as the image says “Turn off Push Notifications”, so it will be as if you manually turned off the push notifications features for x mins, then turned it back on.
Thanks for the clarification. I was assuming this was how it worked, just wanted to make sure. The nice thing about it then is that it automatically turns itself back on after a set period so that we don’t accidentally forget to turn it on later. That will be nice in certain situations where we have people visiting or we’re doing yard work and don’t want constant notifications for a while, but don’t want to forget to turn it back on for later. This will be useful for all of that.
It would be amazing if that could be included. That is how I set snoozes 100% of the time with my other cameras and is extremely convenient compared to having to stop, open the app, find the correct camera, go into the settings, find the snooze settings, and create a snooze, etc. Instead I get the notification, I think “Yep, that’s me working in the yard and I don’t want this happening for the next hour” so just press it, hit snooze 1 hr, done… takes less than a second and is great. I am sure I would not be alone in appreciating the ability to access and set this feature so quickly and conveniently.
That would definitely be a good feature. For now you can use the default IOS notification snooze by swiping a notification to the left, clicking options, then selecting mute duration. This is completely separate from Wyze snooze.
This is nice, but with the downside that if you do this you’re muting ALL notifications from the Wyze app instead of just a specific camera. For example if I’m hanging out on the back deck, I would want notifications snoozed there but would still want notifications if someone comes to the front door. Fingers crossed Wyze can get actionable iOS notifications implemented!
I would also really like this. I don’t want to have to remember to turn the cameras back on and my phone lights up like crazy when the kids are playing around the house or I’m working in the garage. Odd that designers weren’t like, “Oh shoot. We left that out!” on day 2.
I just updated the app and it looks like this setting applies to ALL notifications from the Wyze app? You can’t snooze notifications only for a specific camera? Surely I’ve got to be missing something here, right? I don’t see any way to snooze a specific camera.
If that is the case I think Wyze COMPLETELY missed the mark on this one. iOS users have been able to snooze notifications from any app for a while now anyway. That defeats the whole purpose.
Not only does the Snooze function apply to all cams equally, it applies to all DEVICES at the same time (HMS, Thermostat, Vacuum, sensors, etc). It is only available on the Global App Notifications setting.
The snooze function now pops up when pressing the Bell icon in the Home Device list. Muting all push notifications is no longer a one click toggle. It is now a two click toggle. The icons indicating the state have also changed, adding one that shows the snooze timer. The zzz Bell is no more.
Yeah, this is a complete swing and a miss by Wyze. This is not what anyone was asking for, and the functionality doesn’t even make sense to snooze everything from an entire app (again, iOS users have been able to do this for a while anyway via iOS). Wyze needs to take a look at whoever is writing up the requirements for these features. Just when I was excited that Wyze was actually doing something its customers wanted for once. I’m certainly not holding my breath for actual smart home integration any time soon… or really at all for that matter, and Wyze cams will remain novelty items for me, not part of home security or a smart home.
I don’t think this item should be marked as “granted” and should be reset back to “ignored for 5 years”. Again, this isn’t what anyone was asking for. It should be re-opened, and proper requirements should be written. Here’s a start for you…
Ability to snooze notifications PER CAMERA.
Snoozing notifications should disable notifications for the specified device, for the specified period of time (ex: 30 mins, 1 hr, 2 hr, 4 hr).
All other devices that are not snoozed should continue to send notifications
While notifications are snoozed, device should still record events per device settings (without the notification being sent)
iOS Actionable Notifications to snooze notifications
User should be able to press and hold a notification to quickly set a snooze period
Tapping an option of (30 mins, 1 hr, etc) should set the snooze period for the device in which the notification originated from
If Android has similar functionality, I’m sure those users would appreciate it as well
Again, I’ll provide an example of how all my Ring cameras integrate this, which is what I would consider an ideal integration and functionality:
