Plans for Hubitat support?

I definitely want to add another vote for Hubitat integration. An open API to hook into for Hubitat or ST would be very nice to allow tying disparate devices together and would enable users like me to use our Wyze Sense in even more ways.

I am also a ST user who has recently added Hubitat to my smart home setup. I actually use both of them right now because certain devices I own only integrate with ST. So, integration with either of them would be great, but Hubitat would be my choice if I had to pick. Also want to echo the comment earlier about providing an API that developers can use to build the integrations. Both ST and Hubitat have large active developer communities that will create and maintain the integrations if provided an API.

Hey, +1 for Habitat integration. I hope it will come soon! :slight_smile:

I’d be happy with an API for local control of the bulbs. Hubitat community could probably manage to get it working from there.

One of the strengths of Hubitat is its ability to work without the ‘cloud’, but it does work with ‘light integration’ (like IFTTT). I would like to see much of Wyze devices to work with a local integration. WyzeCam could be a ‘occupancy sensor’ for Hubitat while also being a Camera while the Cloud is available.

Being able to provide local control and sensing for non-image devices through an API, even the (currently) new lock (that requires a gateway device) could also integrate.

As much as I don’t like more gateways, but a ‘shared gateway’ device that could allow local device sharing (with a published API?). This could allow a parallel link to SmartThings and Hubitat and other platforms to work WITH Wyze not as a competing system.

Just adding a small gateway device MIGHT have a shorter timeframe and be easier to build.

I would prefer the native integration, but a gateway could be easier especially to allow the non-cloud integration to be added into the system.

Just my thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to consider this approach.

another vote for Hubitat… already invested on zwave and zigbee, would like to buy more wyze but w/o hubitat support rather wait…

As I posted in this thread some time ago, I think this request might be more likely to happen if generalized to “provide an API” and then the smart people who use Hubitat (or SmartThings, or you name it) will find a way. Unfortunately, I think neither is likely to happen now that Wyze is using the term “Wyze ecosystem”.

Wyze, just no. Please don’t do the walled garden thing at this point. Get along with ecosystems that exist and appear to be viable. We customers are looking for consolidation of the ecosystems, not expansion. In my view, investing in Wyze hardware that works only with Wyze would be like putting money towards Insignia, Wink, Staples Connect, etc. So beyond a few cameras, I’m on hold buying any more Wyze gadgets until the walled garden comes down, and we can expand our existing ecosystems with your great valued devices.

Glad to see this thread hanging in there!

In fact with all of the new product announcements here (lights, lock, sensors, etc) I have stopped buying because Wyze will never be the the center of my home auto system. When I created this thread, Wyze only had the camera and the sensors but as the line has expanded to lights and locks and more I have stopped buying (in fact my sensors sit in my desk drawer and only cams in use). IMO the secret to any HA product is it’s ability to integrate into other systems. I really hope the customer focused Wyze team starts considering these requests.

+1 for Hubitat integration. I have also moved away from Nest because of the de-integration. I also moved away from SmartThings due to too much cloud processing.

The main feature I would like is exposure of the sound/motion detections. If that were available, I could write a driver in a matter of hours for Hubitat (I do NOT work for Hubitat, I just do some driver coding for my own purposes)…

I diggers integration with Hubitat Elevation as Wyze and appear to share similar vision for smart home end users and Hubitat is quickly becoming the favorite smart hub with local control.

+1 from me for hubitat. Just moving to this platform and the wyze gear is the only gear i have that doesn’t play nicely.

+1 for Hubitat
I just bought a Wyse camera to play around with and I’m very pleased with what you get for $25 but I’m hesitant to buy more devices because of the limited integration. I’m just getting started with home automation but I’m already frustrated with the lack of integration between devices. I already have 6 “smart” apps on my phone. I started with HomeKit but Hubitat seems like the way to go moving forward (local mode is the key). Only a couple of my current devices integrate together.
I’ll probably get the Wyze sense just to play with but I won’t be buying anything new, in quantity, without Hubitat integration. The Wyze bulbs are getting great reviews but I don’t see these making it to the shopping cart without Hubitat support.

For sensors, if you have an extra RPi around there is an Alpha release SW that works (also have seen this around for Home Assistant as well). Check the Hubitat forums for “Alpha WyzeSense Integration”. Again, this is just for the sensors.

I am optimistic about the lock since it will use Zigbee, but won’t be using it as I am happy with my current locks. (I am not privy to internal workings at Wyze or LockIn but I think the choice of Zigbee has more to do with their partnership than a stride toward openness.)

I agree with others using a proprietary communication and building walled garden type ecosystem has stopped me from purchasing anymore products.

I would be great to be able to issue HTTP PUT/GET commands at a basic level to enable/disable ‘send notifications’. At a more advanced level set various settings (enable / disable motion detection, enable/disable person detection, request image, video, night vision, etc)
I could then use my home automation platform (Hubitat) to control the functions of the camera. Such as enable notifications when the system is in away mode and disable when in home mode.

It seems there are plenty of requests for Hubitat integration. I too have supported this in an earlier post.
I am curious why Wyze has not given more serious consideration to this. Seems like a match made in heaven or bored rooms or someplace

Honestly, Hubitat integration is a no-brainer. Wyze would sell more devices. I’d buy a bridge from Wyze if necessary. Completely invested in Wyze motion and contact sensors throughout home and am extremely disappointed there isn’t Hubitat integration.

I echo pretty much everyone’s sentiments.
I’ve had the cams for about a year and bought more cams AND the Smart Home kit about a month ago.

I would love to have all of my Wyze stuff in Hubitat (the bulbs, sensor network and plugs probably make the most sense to start with). This becomes especially useful to handle gaps on the Wyze side, like lack of a gradual morning bulb routine, especially with a variable start, such as sunrise or (hours before) sunset.

Until either of these features is added, I’ll keep buying Zigbee/Z-Wave bulbs.

As a new owner of wyze cameras , I would highly recommend that Wyze develop their systems to work with Hibitat systems would be badass!

No comment Wyze or anyone, even speculation?
