Wyze Leak Sensor - Alexa Integration

From what I am reading online, Alexa doesn’t support leak sensors. There are some leak sensor devices that say they work with Alexa, but they seem to be multi-function sensors and it looks like they only have their temperature sensing or humidity functions that go through Alexa and not the leak trigger reports. And I am reading lots of users saying that Alexa doesn’t support leak sensors at all.

If anyone has any information that indicates otherwise, I’d love a source, but until then I think this is actually Alexa’s fault, not Wyze’s. People will need to convince the Alexa team to add support for Leak sensors and THEN I am sure it will be a lot easier to convince Wyze to add that integration.

Until then, does anyone know if IFTTT has Wyze Leak sensor triggers in it? If so, then we can probably do a workaround to get it to work in Alexa as a virtual switch.
I wonder if the Hubitat Wyze API supports the leak sensors, then a virtual switch is definitely possible that way. :thinking:

Edit: I just thought of a way Android users could do this using virtualsmarthome webhooks and Macrodroid, as I talk about a little bit here: Wyze Leak Sensor/Climate Sensor Audible Notification - #32 by carverofchoice

Anyway, it seems the way to make requests to Alexa to support new things is the following:

  • In the Alexa app, go to Settings > Help & Feedback > Send Feedback. You can choose a category and write your suggestion or request.
  • You can use the Alexa Voice Feedback feature to tell Alexa what you like or dislike about it. To do this, say “Alexa, I have feedback” and then share your thoughts.
  • You can use the Amazon Developer Forums to post your ideas or questions about Alexa development. You can also browse other topics and see what other developers are working on
  • You can use the Amazon Customer Service page to contact Amazon support and ask for help or report a problem with Alexa

Anyone interested in this, I would recommend that several us start submitting requests for Alexa to add Leak sensor support. Wyze can’t do anything about this until Alexa makes it possible in the first place. That’s step 1.
