It would be really nice to be able to set up multiple schedules. Having only one schedule means I have to turn off notifications on weekends and days I wouldn’t normally be home. Even better would be the ability to set up a geofence. My Ecobee 4
thermostat has this and its a great tool.
The schedule option found within a device’s settings is only intended to provide the most basic of options. Instead, use the Rules feature to create more complex schedules:

I have tried using the rules option. Won’t do what I need it to. I undestand the schedule is basic. That is my point. It needs then option set multiple schedules.
Can you be more specific of how you had trouble making rules work the way you needed it to? Perhaps one of the @mavens will jump in here and help you sort that out.

@Michael72 – @Loki is right, the schedule option found within a device’s settings is only intended to provide the most basic of options. (I.E. - A single schedule) However, the Rules link he pointed you to (also known as Schedules & Automations) is extremely powerful for what you would like to do. You can set up as many schedules as you wish, no problem!
No geofence yet without integrating with 3rd parties like Life360 or IFTTT, but multiple schedules are easy from within the Wyze app.
Say you wanted to turn a camera on 3 times a day on Saturdays, but only 2 times at different times on all other days: You would enter Edit Rules (or Schedules & Automations), and tap the plus (+) symbol. Then you would choose Schedule. Then the camera or whatever you want to do something to on a schedule. Then the operation you would like to perform. Then Next. Then you would enter the time you would like that action to start. You can create a separate rule for when you want that action to end, but you can also specify that here with an end time. Then choose on what days of the week you want that start time, or start/stop end time, to occur. Then Save, then off to the next combo of start/stop times, day of the week or whatever you would like!
