This thread is old but would love to have Wyze work with smartthings.
Connect to Samsung smart home apps (Matter!)
I wish I could connect to my Wyze devices through the Samsung apps. Get bulbs and locks through SmartThings. Get the scale measurement in Samsung Health. Hey, it works with Google Fit.
These days, smart home apps need to play along.
What’s the MATTER?
[Mod Edit] Merged with the existing Smartthings wishlist topic, also check out the Support Matter Protocol wishlist topic. Give each a vote in support!
Looking to add more cameras. Was hoping Wyze had integrated with SmartThings by now. Sadly, I’ll need to move forward with another brand.
They blew us off way back when it made sense. Now we have to wait for Matter integration - which will no doubt be a long way off. I’ve given up on Wyze for most things - they are just not customer oriented.
That would be nice. I’m pretty po’d because I purchased three Wyze cams only to find out there is no Wyze app for Roku. And only to find out Wyze bought out Wyze and are just repackaging these cams as “Roku” cams and not allowing “Wyze” cams to connect to Roku tv. This makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.
When I saw the Roku camera at WalMart, I spent some time with it before returning it.
Wyze and Roku are two different companies. Both source their cameras from the same manufacturer. The Wyze v3 and the Roku use the exact same hardware. The apps are identical in form and function with only Wyze and Roku branding changed. The Roku camera uses different firmware than the Wyze v3. The Roku app has the same landscape issues that the Wyze app does. The Roku camera cannot be added to the Wyze app, and vice versa. I know, I tried.
So why would Wyze have a Roku app?
Your statement “Wyze bought out Wyze” makes no sense. Perhaps you meant Roku bought out Wyze which is not true. There are many posts here mentioning the Wyze/Roku cameras.
At this point i dont think we getting anything beside what we all ready have. I think they want to keep us locked in to their ecosystem unfortunately but that was expected for the price of their hardware i feel like.
they have ecosystem?
where?
Indeed, we are not getting SmartThings, they already answered that one as “Probably Not” and basically told us it’s not going to happen.
To be fair, they do allow us to use most of our devices on Google and Alexa, and even IFTTT for official integrations, so they are definitely allowing people to use things elsewhere.
Additionally, they recently created an Official API Key specifically to allow people to use Wyze devices elsewhere if they want to do the work for said integration. They have basically just indicated that they aren’t going to pay someone’s salary to do it for us. So they not only actively ALLOW us to use our products elsewhere, but went out of their way to make sure it continues to be possible to do so. Lots of people integrate their stuff into Home Assistant and Homekit and RTSP using 3rd party projects. Not only has Wyze allowed it, but some of their employees have actually actively contributed to the code to keep some of those projects functioning, and helping out in the Github support areas to help restore functionality to things.
For those reasons, I can’t fully agree that they want to keep us “locked in to their ecosystem” because their behavior demonstrably indicates otherwise. I’m glad they’ve been fairly transparent about what to expect too. They did tell us “Probably Not” for this, so we’ve long known they weren’t going to do this one, but it is still sad there isn’t more effort to expand official integrations beyond just Google and Alexa (and IFTTT). I would really like more.
Because, Matter.
