Now that IFTTT is reducing their free routines… Again, I was hoping that I can find alternatives to some of my applets. Besides IFTTT, is there anyway to turn on or off all cameras and enable / disable motion detection? It looks like both alexa and google don’t work.
Thanks!
Any time I find that Alexa can’t do what I want her to do because she lacks the Triggers or Actions, I still put her to work but keep it simple for her.
I employ a Wyze Plug. To have Alexa turn off all my cams, I set up a Wyze plug named “All Cams”(nothing plugged into it, just sitting there waiting to relay a message to my other Wyze devices). I tell Alexa to “Turn Off All Cams”. Then I create a rule that when the “All Cams” plug turns off, turn off all cams. I have another plug named “Cam Notifications”. “Alexa, Turn Off Cam Notifications”. When the plug goes off, a Wyze Rule mutes the notifications. I then have opposite rules to turn them back on when the plug comes back on. “Alexa, Motion Detection Off”… Wyze plug named “Motion Detection”… Wyze Rule when it goes off.
I bought plugs in bulk when they were on sale for this very purpose. I only have a couple left and had to employ power strips to plug them all in.
The possibilities are endless. Any action on any Wyze device can be triggered by the On\Off of a Wyze Plug and is therefore able to be relayed from Alexa.
I hear you. I was hoping to avoid new hardware, and another ecosystem where I need to create rules/routines.
Hopefully this is forwarded to Wyze automation programmers @WyzeJasonJ
I guess this is one way to sell Wyze plugs 
but unlikely to get many new customers …
Sadly, I may start looking for Cams that are better integrated with Alexa BUT I do not want to. 
You may want to look at the brands Amazon owns, Ring and Blink. Recent Alexa positioning moves in the IoT sector seem to indicate that it is gearing toward a transition to a more restrictive cross-ecosystem automation integration platform. It will more than likely become a proprietary hardware preferred automation platform. The signs of an impending subscription paywall for alien hardware and\or numerous integrations are already being seen.
Thanks and ….
I am OK with an appropriately priced pay wall, as Alexa does provide some excellent integration across platforms.
