I want to Wyze group to consider add video call feature on the Doorbell. For example, people press the bell button, we don’t receive a notification, we should receive a video call with screenshot of the people who press the button, like google Duo, then we decide to answer or not.
The wyze app has a notification problem, as evidenced by the plethora of notification related wishlist items. I am requesting specifically for a unique notification experience for the doorbell.
Right now I get almost identical notifications for when a door opens or closes (Wyze Home Monitoring), motion is detect on a camera, or someone rings my doorbell. So it is not uncommon for doorbell presses to get buried within my Wyze notification list.
The doorbell should have the option to start a video call on my phone with a full ringtone and everything, just as if I was getting a zoom or skype call. This is how Ring and Google doorbells work and is different than the solution granted by the VoIP feature. (Doorbell should ring on my phone)
I really like the concept of Wyze, but I am no longer willing to add addition types of Wyze products to my home until the notification issues are fixed.
Welcome to the Wyze User Community Forum @fourthof7sons!
You already referenced the Granted Wishlist topic for the VOIP call to the phone, which the Doorbells currently do, so I edited my post since this specific topic is asking additionally for the Video Call to show a Thumbnail Image of the Doorbell Video on the incoming call. Sorry for the confusion.
However, with regard to your second feature request:
But, since you are an Android user, you can get that functionality today by using a third party app such as MacroDroid, Tasker, BuzzKill, or FilterBox. I use MacroDroid. I have a unique notification sound for every different Wyze device I have installed as well as a different second tone for Person, Pet, Vehicle, and Package. Customization is incredibly detailed and only limited by the number of tones you download. I posted the How To here: Share MacroDroid Macros for Wyze IoT - #38 by SlabSlayer.
