Fan scheduling for the win
This has been requested for years now. I’ve lost hope that Wyze is listening. Too bad because it would seem to be a simple feature to add. I think WYZE implements new features based on the number of votes a proposed new feature gets. Since there are FAR more WYZE camera users than thermostat users, the thermostat wishlist never gets their attention. So it’s bug fixes only, and there are a few to fix.

I agree, this will never be implemented. I started building a fully local (zigbee/zwave) smart home network and I’ll use a more advanced thermostat that lets me implement the features I want myself. I’ll only keep the cams from wyze.

I’m still hoping for this. My HVAC fan is very loud, so I try to keep it running as little as possible during the night. But the air is stagnant during the day and I want it to cycle during the day. The feature to run x minutes per day is useful, but I don’t want it on 24 hours.
PLEASE add more automation features to the thermostat. The current ones available are not enough to take full control! The wishlist from two years ago is still wanted!
Please wyze. We’re still waiting for this! Would love to only run fan at night on schedule…!
THIS STUFF PLEASE!! Just give us access to triggers and controls for the thermostat via automations!! There are MANY use cases!!!

Another vote for independent furnace fan control. I love the cycle on and off function I want to be able for it to run continuously during set times of the day and then return of cycling or off state. Also be able to set triggers based on temperature or humidity.

Thermostat Fan Cycle Schedule Capability
I would like to recommend what I think would be a fairly easy addition to the Wyze App specifically for the Wyze Thermostat.
The Wyze Thermostat has a great feature where you can turn on an option for just the fan of the air handler to run for a certain number of minutes each hour. I use this feature particularly when the days are hot and the evenings are cool. During the day windows are closed and a/c is on or, if it’s not terribly hot, a/c is off and with windows closed the house stays cool enough. In the evenings, I open the windows and turn on the fan cycle to run 15 minutes every hour to help draw in cool outside air. The problem is if I forget to turn off the feature in the morning, and I don’t turn on the a/c because it’s not supposed to be too hot…the fan cycle runs during the day when I’m not home. Even though it may be only 70 outside, if the sun is out, my attic where my duct work is gets very hot and so does the air sitting in the duct work. Then when the fan comes on because I forgot, that hot air gets blown into the house…every hour for 15 minutes…all day long.
It would be awesome if there was a schedule feature in the Fan Cycle option where I can just have it on or off like it is now, or, I could make a schedule for the fan cycle to run for the set amount of minutes each hour only during the times I select. For example, in fall and spring when it’s warm during the day and cool at night, I’d set the schedule to only run the fan at night when I was cool air drawn in from outside, but in winter, when it’s slightly cold out but the sun is out and I know it’s warm in my attic, I can have the fan cycle run during the day to push that warm air in the ductwork into the house, but not run at night when the attic is cold and so is the air in the duct work. (This is of course assuming it’s not so hot I’m running a/c or not so cold I have the heat on.
Anyway…that’s the idea. Hope it makes sense and thanks for considering.
