My wyze cam app is not recognizing sound detection with a smoke alarm. My smoke alarm went off the other morning and I did not get an alert. I double check my settings and I did have it set up to detect smoke alarms.

So, oddly, the cam can identify smoke alarms separately from other sounds, but only so they can be ignored? I also played this to my cameras, all of which are set to alert for smoke alarms. Not a single response. I have 2 pan, one V2, one V1 within range of the smoke alarm. All running most curre…
