The updated Wyze Lamp Socket v2. Make your exterior lighting even smarter. You can now power Wyze Cam v3/v3 Pro/v4, Cam OG, and Pan v3 without the need for a power outlet.
Also introducing the Wyze Cam Vase. Combines stunning home decor with practical home security. Pop in your Wyze Cam (v4, v3, or v3 Pro) and effortlessly keep an eye on what matters most without having the camera stick out like a sore thumb.
Hi, I am assuming the Wyze lamp socket V2 still can only power light and cam via usb when the power source for the socket is turned on? So the usb cam outside can only be used then the light switch is powered on all the time like the Cam/bulb combo?
Apparently you can factory reset the lamp socket V2. I bet you there are going to be some complaints when someone is playing with the lights . Some interesting tidbits on the Lamp Socket v2 support page:
Wyze Lamp Socket v2 cannot be set up in the Wyze app or managed without a compatible Wyze Cam. Features like Automations, AI detection, and controlling the lamp socket rely on the paired Wyze Cam.
Without a paired, compatible Wyze Cam, you can only use the lamp socket as a USB power source.
Wyze Lamp Socket v2 has a handy status light that helps determine what state the device is in. You’ll find the status light on the bottom of your Wyze Lamp Socket v2, near where you screw in a bulb. No light? Make sure it’s securely inserted into the socket and that the socket is receiving power.

Miniaturization in tech is everywhere but I suspect the text specs on the new vase should say it is roughly 3 x 3 x 4 CM, not MM. Otherwise we’re gonna need new, smaller WYZE cams to fit inside it.
And a question: is it only suitable for plastic faux plants or will it hold water for cut flowers or soil to plant something—like you do with vases, you know?
Nice catch on the units. That should definitely be corrected. It’s also odd that the “Tech specs” section of the product page says that it’s…
Compatible With
Wyze Cam v4/v3/v4
Why is “v4” listed twice?
I’d guess not, according to the “FAQs” section on the same page:
Can I put real plants in it?
Not recommended. The Cam vase is compact with a bottom vent (for camera airflow). Tip: Use faux plants for a lush look!
