Wyze API Sense + Camera Snapshot

[noelportugal]

One of the most used apps in my phone is the GarageDoor app (iOS) that I custom made to control my garage door remotely.

To make this app I had to develop two supporting backend services. I’m running these services on a Raspberry Pi at home. I have been running this for the past 6 months with no issues.

1. A service that tells me if the garage door Wyze Sense contact sensor is open/close. I used my un-official Wyze API.
2. A service that captures a snapshot from a Wyze Camera running RTSP firmware. The service gets the snapshot from the internal IP RTSP live feed.

Finally I created my own Garage Door opener using an ESP-8266 Microcontroller with a Relay.

So to summarize this is my Wyze Whislist:

1. A public API where I can query sensor data.
2. A public API to access a snapshot of a Wyze Camera.
3. New Hardware: A garage door opener!

Thanks for considering these!

Here are the Wishlist topics that line up with what you are looking for.

Garage Door Opener

Would love to see a device that will allow us to open/close the garage door and see its stats in the app. Thinking something like the MyQ system that mimics an RF Transmitter to the door or something like the WeMo maker of old that wires inline, or in place of the wall button. Minimal programming background, but a replacement wall button may be the easier way to go/start as to not have to deal with RF codes and will work with most non-commercial openers.

Wyze is doing amazing work, from its incredible, affordable cameras, to its new Sense product line. I am really excited to watch you innovate as a small company. Yet, this wishlist category is filled with feature requests that will take years for Wyze to get through, even with their success and recent round of funding. Wyze also has a great community of users, as evidenced by this very forum, and the excellent Wyze community over on Reddit. There are people doing really fun and creative things …
