Can we please get a Lamp Socket Power Adapter for Cam v3 PRO?
I bought three of these adapters and after installing was very frustrated to find that they do not work with the V3 Cam Pro. Nor do they work by themselves to control the bulbs without a camera attached.
After talking extensively to tech support, I now understand that the current Wyze Lamp Socket Power Adapter only works with the V3 Cam, not any other Wyze camera. Would like to request one that can be used with the V3 Cam Pro and to work with other future cams that will come out. I don’t want to have to upgrade my adapter everytime a new camera comes out.
Please please do this for us. I don’t want to have to go out and find a third party adapter to use as a power source for my Wyze cameras and want to be able to control my light bulbs.
Okay so I want to kinda resurrect this thread a year later. I got a v3 pro after on a TikTok they said it would work with the lamp socket, as discussed on this thread yes it is a tight squeeze on the USB port BUT!! Unlike what some people have been saying, my light doesn’t stay on 24/7 the camera CAN CONTROL IT it turns on with motion and off after awhile. HOWEVER! For some odd reason, Wyze decided to not add the manual controls or settings in the app. The camera itself can CLEARLY control the light socket, so why not do the small software/firmware changes to actually allow users to have this feature that makes the pro camera that is more expensive work better than the base model v3???
Yeah I can’t imagine it would be too much work to get it to work. They already have the code for the base v3 they just need to make some small modifications and apply it to the v3 pro
I’m not sure you’re the person to mention but can this topic be looked back into? It’s categorized as probably not but myself and at least one other user have found that the functionality is possible and semi integrated, it just needs a little more support with a firmware or app update.
Wyze Lamp Socket V2 should be a stand-alone device, not an accessory. It should have a 2-amp USB port, and it should be able to pair with 5 more, for a total of 6 lamp sockets. This is a no-brainer. Do It!
Lamp socket cable will not plug in properly to Cam 3 Pro to power it. Tried this with 3 sockets I purchased. The Cam 3 pro works plugged in to the wall.
It’s a very tight fit, but I was able to connect the cable to the V3 Pro. I was even able to upgrade the socket firmware under the device info screen for the camera. Unfortunately, the socket doesn’t show up under accessories for me to manually control or set schedules.
Since I am able to upgrade the firmware, I hope Wyze will allow us to control the socket with the V3 Pro!
Okay so it seems like mods aren’t going to think about reopening this specifically. Should I just go ahead and make a new thread now? Cause it clearly has some form of function between the V3 pro and the socket. We just need to request for them to add the app control.
