I cannot understand why this isn’t natively how these work, but the Wyze switch should be able to link to the Wyze bulb cam to turn the lights off smart just like every other Wyze smart bulb you guys sell.
Tagging @carverofchoice as I’m assuming he would know.
But is it not possible to do with an automation?
I tried. It doesn’t respond to it.
I don’t currently have an active bulb cam, but can you do it from the switch additional controls?
Set double tap to turn on the light?
Believe it or not, Wyze switch is actually one of the only Wyze products I don’t have… Well… That’s not strictly true. I technically have one new in box, never installed because I don’t have neutral wiring, but it’s as if I don’t have one. I’m not familiar with the possibilities and limitations other than what I’ve heard from people like R.Good.
I would try whatever he recommends.
But yeah, it’s weird if normal automations don’t work for it.
Yeah I am also shocked, this seems like one of the most obvious integrations and would be a smart bundle sale from Wyze. This would be a much more elegant solution than a “do not turn off” sticker on the switch with the bulb cam too. It should be able to integrate with the bulb cam and have the smart control single press control be the light on/off control so power in maintained to the camera. If accessory bulbs are married to the main bulb cam it would control those too since they are linked to the main light.
I think the best workaround that I will try is to set single press to smart control but not tie to any device, and then go to additional actions and assign double press to turn the lights on and triple to off. I just don’t know yet if setting it to smart control without pairing it to a device will be enough to keep power going to the camera on an accidental single press.
Edit: Confirmed the OP’s issue that the additional control automations do not work. Double tap and triple tap are not sending the on or off commands to the bulb. It doesn’t matter if classic control, smart control with no device selected, wired as a normal switch, or if bypassing the switch.
Another idea… connect the neutral and ground to the switch, cap the line/load together, and then setup as a classic switch in Wyze. Make Wyze app think it worked correctly, and then use Alexa or Google integration to make an action if the switch is turned “on” to turn on the bulb lights, if turned “off” turn off the bulb lights off. I only have Alexa so I know you can do this type of routine, I am assuming Google has something similar.
I am not electrician so don’t treat my advice as such, but I think this would get you single tap control of the bulb lights by using a third party control instead
Edit: Well… Even more frustrating it looks like Wyze doesn’t even pass smart control of the bulb to Alexa from what I can find. Not sure if they do for Google.
I had similar thoughts. The problem is that the lights don’t register outside of the camera itself. It’s just a toggle switch on the camera live feed. The app doesn’t treat them as a device of their own, so Google Home won’t either. I don’t think 
Extremely frustrating. I literally bought the bulb cans with the sole purpose of integrating them with the switch. I actually ended up giving two of the 3 I bought to my brother and then bought the lamp socket and the new 4k pan cam and I’m much happier with them.
What I did months ago is name the Bulb Cam on my deck in the Alexa app to “Deck Light”. I have an Echo Pop inside the house, near the door to the deck, so I can tell Alexa to turn the “Deck Light” on or off, and this controls the light in the Bulb Cam independent of the camera. I have not seen this kind of control exposed to Google Home.
I would’ve thought that these same on/off functions for the light element in Bulb Cam (and any bound Accessory Bulbs) might work in Alexa routines, since I can turn the light on and off with my voice using an Echo, but what appears to be exposed to Alexa routines is only the ability to turn the light on, not off. That means I can use something like a Wyze Plug to turn Bulb Cam’s light on with an Alexa routine, but then it’s stuck on until I turn it off some other way (Wyze Automation, Wyze app control, talking to Alexa, etc.). That one-way street is not very useful.
I don’t have any Wyze Switches, so I can’t speak to that integration at all, but I agree that Additional Controls should be able to trigger Bulb Cam’s light and would expect the Automations shown in Wyze Bulb cam with Wyze switch - #6 by OON7 to work, which is what I think @R.Good was suggesting above. That’s disappointing to learn that these don’t work, and it gives the impression that Wyze dropped the ball on what should otherwise be a useful linking of features.
I have my years long battles with the Wyze Switch (x3) in my home. See this for a fun time: Wyze Switch - Dbl-Triple Tap functions work ... and then they don't?
But, beyond that fun nuance to the switch, I’m not sure why they stopped development on these things? I love mine. They get clicked a LOT in my house. I would buy v2 of them in a hot minute. Probably just need to get 3rd party at this point.
Could you use another trigger as a bridge? I.e. Double-click Wall Switch turns on a smart plug for 5 min. Another Wyze Automation is setup so that when it detects that plug turn on, turn off Bulb Light in cam? Vice Versa to turn it on. You could also use a 3rd party plug and then have Google or Alexa do the work to. I’m pretty sure you can do this?
From everywhere I looked, they haven’t exposed full control of the bulb to third party integrations unfortunately. I thought that would be my easy workaround too.
I don’t think so. At least that’s what I was trying to describe above. I can turn the Bulb Cam’s light on with an Alexa routine, but there’s no apparent facility to turn it off (though I can use Alexa with a voice command and turn the light both on and off). I don’t see a way to do this in Google Home at all.
If a Switch can turn a Plug on and off (like by using different Additional Controls for the “on” and “off” actions), then setting up Device & Service Trigger Automations should work (i.e., when Plug turns on, turn on Bulb Cam’s light(s) and vice versa). That kind of trigger works when I set it up (two of them: one for “on” and one for “off”) and actuate the Plug’s switch manually.
I really hope they do that at some point. I haven’t seen the originals available for a while but definitely have some potential applications for some, and I recently had another manufacturer’s smart switch fail on me (known hardware issue according to some sources), so I’m looking for a replacement.
