I’d like to install one of the flood light camera combos in my back yard. I want to be able to turn the light on and off manually when we are in the yard at night, but have motion sensor control when we wanta security light. Ideally the camera would run continuously regardless of if the light is on,…

Yes. But, some clarification is needed. [image] scottgraham2: I want to be able to turn the light on and off manually when we are in the yard at night How do you envision “manually” turning them on & off? By a physical light switch, in the Wyze App, using Google Home, Alexa, smart switch, or…

I can’t find any way to control the floodlight pro lights from Alexa. It’s only showing up as a camera so far. Is there something I need to do to enable that? The integration of the lights is one of the main reasons I bought this system. Thanks

The Floodlight Actions will be listed with the Action list for the V3 cam that i…

Thanks for your reply. The shortcut will get me 75% there. Didn’t like to thought of going 3-4 clicks in to manually turn the light on. Will pick up a smart plug if voice control via Alexa is really needed. (Cheap enough but I have a mental block about it since we are committed to a different brand …

[image] jeffreychng7: Possible to put it back on ‘Auto’ instead of ‘off’ When turning the floodlight on and off via a rule, it should not affect the Auto setting. Upon using the shortcut rule to turn it on and then off, it should stay in the Auto mode and return to auto detect sensing and swi…

I’ve created a rule to do this now, but it would be nice to have this built in to the floodlights “menu” in the app (next to the siren button). This would make it easier for users who don’t use rules.
