I have a Cam Floodlight installed and set to turn on when dark and motion is detected by either the PIR sensor or by the camera. This worked well by itself. However, I also want to trigger the floodlight when it’s dark and my rear door is opened, because motion isn’t detected unless I walk out into …

I believe this was tested in the past by @R.Good and was confirmed to be an issue. It appears as though when the Floodlight is set to activate on both PIR and camera motion, there is a 10 minute reset period after the rule turns them off. This does not appear to be the case if only one of the acti…

Hi @SlabSlayer , thanks for the response! I haven’t gotten a chance to test any more, hopefully tonight. I’m fairly certain that when I first created the rule, I had the flood light set to go on when motion was detected by the PIR sensor, not by the camera. I added firing on camera detection in an ef…

[image] jmzahra19: I turned the flood light on manually, setting it to “on” in the settings. The rule still turned the light off Rules don’t check how the light was turned on before sending the Off command. It just sends the Off command. Regardless of if the light was turned on by Motion Dete…

This is really helpful. I will go back tonight and do some troubleshooting. I never noticed that there is a history of the rules firing, so I’ll take a closer look at that (I just went and found it). So do you think this would work? rule to turn on floodlight indefinitely when door sensor is open…

[image] jmzahra19: rule to turn on floodlight indefinitely when door sensor is opened This is definitely an option. [image] jmzahra19: rule to turn off floodlight if no motion has been detected for five minutes Unfortunately this won’t. There are not any Rule triggers for the V3 Cam w…

I’m super frustrated with my new Wyze floodlights. I bought 3 and had them installed AND they suck. They didn’t work great just on PIR so I added motion by camera and then rules and now they sometimes work but mostly don’t. Or they will come on a while later after we already walked past them and got…

Throwing my hat into the ring for a workaround or fix here. I have a v3 cam set to trigger a separate floodlight, which is of course set to go off when its own sensor or camera detects motion. If the isolated v3 cam rule turns on the floodlight, the inherent detection on the floodlight stops working…

Spoke to WYZE support about this kind of issue and the outcome was that there is no solution at the moment. Hopefully they will provide a firmware update that fixes all this nonsense.
