Can I use the new Wyze Cam OG with the Wyze Cam Socket?
The V3 is the only camera that will work with the Socket.
Even for the new Black Wyze Cam OG which is for indoor/outdoor use?
If you read the link it is also a power and USB connection issue I just know what I read in the information I provided.
The Cam port on the Lamp Socket is a 1 Amp output. You also have to use the special cord that comes with the Lamp Socket.
The OG is a 1 Amp cam. However its firmware does not have the ability to control the Socket. The V3 is the only cam that has the Firmware capable of turning the bulb in the socket on and off. The receptacle that the socket screws into should be powered 24\7 so that it doesn’t remove power from the V3 Cam controlling the bulb in the socket.
You can link multiple lamp sockets together into a group with only one V3 cam, connected to one Lamp Socket, controlling all the lamp socket bulbs simultaneously.
While I have never tested this (yet)… It is theoretically possible to install two Lamp Sockets in a group controlled by one V3 Cam and then plug the OG Cam into the linked Lamp Socket just to power it. The USB port remains powered even when the bulbs are off so it should keep the OG running. But again, the OG can’t turn the bulbs on or off unless you set up Rules to do it thru Automation and you have to have the controlling V3 on one of the sockets in the group to do that.
