Love the new Wyze Sensors - would like to be able to customize how they look on the home screen of the Wyze app. I know I can sort the devices into any order I want - and group them (but not sensors).
Maybe allow the user to upload a photo for each sensor (like front door, garage, dryer, fridge, etc). So instead of a bunch of icons of sensors, the user’s photo for that sensor would appear on the Home screen of the app.
I agree with @deholz Re the use of user-supplied images for each camera thumbnail on the Home screen. I would not want to change the Event thumbnails, though.
I have the Wyze Cam and I love the product and have bought it for many friends. I use it for my baby camera so it’s very important and Wyze has impressed us the past 2 years.
BUT when the cam loads on my app sometimes it will show the last video imagine it captures. THIS IS TERRIFYING!!!
Imagine opening up the app after putting your baby down to sleep and she’s gone?!?!? (See pic below!) Or checking on her at 3AM and there’s an adult looking over her?!?!? (See pic below!) I have nearly had heart attacks over this default loading pic. Please change it!!! I beg you!
Change it to the company logo. Change it to a choice of my option. Anything but the last image captured. I can’t be the only parent who has ran to the room OR said, “Oh S#*%!” in the middle of the night, OR nearly RKOd a ghost at 3AM because this thing has led me to believe my greatest fear was coming true. Please help!
There should be a way to use custom images for the icons in the home menu. For example, I have 6 plugs that control different lamps and objects throughout the house all with the same icon - the plug icon. I would like to use custom images instead to quickly differentiate between all the switches. This way I could take a picture of my lamp, fan, and other electronics that are plugged into the plugs. It seems like this should already be something I can do but I’ve searched through the settings and forums for this feature.
At a minimum, Wyze should provide a number of generic icons, such as bedside table lamp, floor lamp, fan, air conditioner, garage door, Christmas tree, radio, TV, etc.
Plugs- change image of icon to depict device used with
This is an idea to be able to change and set the icons in the app for different plugs. In the app for another brand of plug I use, I can change the image of the product from the product what ever image I wish. Itake pictures of the device/appliance I am using the plug for, and set the image of the plug to that. If you see the photos yo’ll see what I mean.

I like this idea, though I personally wouldn’t have a desire to populate the app with device photographs, but it makes me think of examples of how some other apps I use do something similar:
In Google Home, if I navigate into the settings for a smart Wi-Fi plug or switch, I have the option to select a Device type with choices like Light, Fan, Outlet, etc. Back on the Devices tab of the app, these device tiles then receive appropriate icons as part of their labels (light bulb, fan, outlet).
In apps like Tapo and Kasa, I can navigate into the settings for a plug or switch and choose an icon from a preconfigured set or also pick something from Albums or Camera if I want to use a different picture or photograph.
I appreciate suggestions for visual improvements to the app’s usability, and I second @normlang’s idea for a collection of generic device icons, particularly for the Switch, Plug, and Plug Outdoor.
Yeah the app I have which allows images doesn’t keep a photo albumn of images. It keeps no memory of other images and you must create a fresh one each time you assign an image. Infact, if you slready have an image assigned and click the button on the source you want to use, take a picture or access storage, it resets to default icon img if you dont pick a new picture.
I dig. I can see where some people might like that. I like the neatness of a designer’s image that’s intended to provide a cohesive experience with the rest of the UI, so I prefer the way Google and Tapo do it, and I should’ve been more explicit earlier: The Kasa app allows a user to set device images from a phone’s camera and existing photo albums in addition to offering an installed icon set; although Tapo is also a TP-Link product line, it includes only the device icon collection for options.
Although I wouldn’t be likely to use the photos myself, I like the availability of choices and voted for this.
