While creating a rule today, to have my Wyze Video Doorbell trigger a Wyze Color bulb when it sees a package or a Pet (as I have setup on my WCO v1s and V3s) I discovered no option other than “Detects a Person”
I would think “Detect a Package” would be a normal thing that any Video Doorbell would be able to do.
I’d also like to see it detect a Pet, Sound or a Vehicle (vehicle wouldn’t be useful where my VDB is mounted, but it would be for others.
Is my camera the only one not with these features? Does the Video Doorbell Pro have these options? Do we need to create a Wishlist item for this ?
Gotcha. I don’t know why you don’t, my original VDB does. Here me entering my house earlier…v3 which provides double coverage also triggered. Haven’t had any pets or packages at the step in 2 weeks though.
Why do i need to set up triggers to detect packages and pets? I don’t get it. I have a detection zone and motion detection set up, and i get detections for people going in and out of the door and ringing the doorbell, but if someone delivers a package, i get nothing. Someone could come and steal the package and it won’t detect it.
Its weird though, because if its windy, i get the detection notification. Its frustrating and not a very good product, imho.
You don’t. Unless you want to involve rules and say turn on a bulb with a certain detection like the OP requested in the first post. The topic of the thread is triggering rules, not general detection of recognized objects.
