IFTTT has already limited my applets so you’ll probably see it in a day or two at most. If you are mostly interested in adapting sensors, check out Home Assistant. They’ve managed to get the sensors to work with their system by plugging the Wyze bridge into the device you’re using to run HA (usually a Raspberry Pi). I’m considering selling my Wyze cameras and buying some Eufy ones and using the sensors through a Raspberry Pi running HA.

I switched from vitrual switches to simulated alexa switches and linked wyze contact and motion sensors and smartthings through alexa. I have much more reliable automations now and was able to cut out IFTTT for all the contact and motion sensors.
you can create virtual switches in alexa?
I might need to move back into that ecosystem.
To clarify, the simulated alex switches are created in SmartThings. I then link the Wyze device in Alexa to the Simulated Alexa SmartThings switch with Alexa Routines. I can then control the Wyze devices with SmartThings and Webcore automations.

I found the ST SmartApp for it, thanks. Looks like it’s not yet compatible with the new app.
Can I ask - what SmartApp?
SmartApps are little apps withing Smartthings that do different specialized functions. Basically…
Yeah, No sorry I meant which one specifically …
yeah, sorry, I misunderstood
Get the “Community Installer” and the alexa switch maker will show up in that. Community Installer (Free Marketplace) - Things That Are Smart Wiki

I already stop buying Wyze until they work with SmartThings!

My guess, at best, is that this isn’t going to happen until Smartthings completes their transition from the Classic Smartthings App to the New App. This is also happening in conjunction with a change of smartapp hosting internal and possibly, though I honestly don’t know all the details, device handling/handlers.
There’s a lot of consternation over in the Smartthings community about all this. I was just about to build my own integration with IFTTT but then well IFTTT Pro happened, so that’s not going to be a thing on my end. I’ve dabbled with HA, but frankly that’s just making my head hurt lately. I have too much else to deal with.
It almost all makes me think about going back to Wink.
There’s no reason for Wyze to wait until after the platform transition. The new dev tools for cloud-to-cloud integrations is already live. LIFX, Kasa, August and others are already using it.
True. But they’ll need time to figure out if they (wyze) are going to charge for it or make it a pay-your-own-price integration.

Samsung doesn’t charge, so if Wyze were to charge it would be a total jerk move since they don’t charge for Alexa or Google Home integration.
Hope the new sense line integrate with Smartthings
Are you having problems working with SmartThings? I think both user communities want this.
Probably if all do the same and do not get any of the waze products any more until they works for us instead we purchase a product that works is good but they do not do what we need.
Obviously this is even more pressing with IFTTT moving to a paid model. It would also be extremely nice for Wyze to integrate with Smartthings once the doorbell launches do I could see it on my Samsung TV.

Yeah I liked wink but wink went very flat. I finally disconnected my wink 1 hub when they started the payed subscription. I would gladly pay for wink it worked and worked well. But lack of integrations and the ify company background is what caused me to go.
