I removed the alexa wyze-beta skill. I never got the correct email. Direct PM twice. Still nothing. Then the Vacuum beta release Thursday bricked my vacuum. New vacuum on its way courtesy of wyze.
So did the beta end for everyone? I just got an email telling me that âBeta test has ended for the Alexa skill: Wyze-betaâ.

I got the same email. I believe the initial email invite said the beta would last about 2 weeks
When will the alexa / wyze skills be implemented in public release? I miss it already!
I prefer to tell alexa to tell the vac to clean a room rather than finding my phone. Although the skill requires a less than desirable long command, I understand why it is that way at this point.
One thing that I noticed is that when beta ended (no longer available under developer tab in alexa app) ALL of my Wyze lights (white and colored) are âunresponsiveâ no matter what I do to remedy it. Anyone else have these issues?
Side note: We did have a hurricane in these parts over the weekend and not sure if that may have had anything to do with it, but all of my other smart devices are working beautifully within their respective apps and also from google home or alexa. EXCEPT the lights!
Is Alexa control still only available to a select few? I purchased this vacuum almost ten months ago with the anticipation/promise that this was coming soon. Can I get on the beta and/or when is this going to be released for general audience?
My Alexa just discovered my Wyze vacuum. It seems like they updated the skill to make the Vacuum Alexa compatible. Now I can say âAlexa turn on my vacuumâ and it starts cleaning. If I say, âAlexa turn off my vacuumâ it goes back to the charging dock".

I saw the same thing yesterday when I was updating some Alexa skills! I didnât try a command but just âturned it onâ in the Alexa app on my phone and it started cleaning. Yay!
Whatâs the skill called, I donât see it in the Alexa listing when I search for wyze (just a wyze one that doesnât mention the vacuum).
The regular wyze skill might have been updated as I didnât add anything different. I no longer have the beta skill for the vacuum. Basically when I opened my Alexa app I saw ânew devicesâ found and one of those devices was my wyze robot which hadnât been acknowledged before. When I opened up the ânew deviceâ it recognized the wyze robot vacuum and I could power it on and off from the app but my alexa device would not respond to an actual cleaning command. It says âWyze Guy vacuum doesnât support thatâ.
My vac show up on my alexa also today. I did nothing. Just showed up as a new found device.
Yea so ig itâs now part of the public beta? Or idk but anyway yes itâs working for me I can start and stop from Alexa! Problem is you cannot tell it which rooms to clean or anything which makes it next to useless for me. Hope to see this added soon!
Are you kidding me? Iâm bumping up on the one year anniversary of ordering with the anticipation of Alexa integration soon after launch and Iâm not even as âluckyâ as you to be able to even access this feature though my app does show that itâs âcoming soonâ (I wonât hold my breath on that soon part). Now youâre reporting that the only functionality is start/stop? Give me a break. Maybe in the next few years weâll get an update that letâs us do what even the most budget vacs come with out of the box. Oh and can I split rooms on virtual walls yet? I get tired of checking.
Yea ik the promised Alexa integration is taking a lot longer than âsoonâ but all the other smart mapping features have been added a while ago. (At least the ones I wanted)

You donât have to be invited, as far as I can tell. Just google for the directions on how to be added to the beta testing. There is a link you have to tap on from your phone, and you have to have an app called test flight installed. But yeah, all I can do is turn it on (which starts cleaning) and off (which stops cleaning).
Thanks for the tip. That wonât do me much good. Once again, a half implemented function for half the audience and almost a year over due. Thanks again for the terrible customer experience @WyzeHongfei @Wyzeacre @WyzeBaohua @WyzeRyan @Kenny
Hey just got the vacuum and Iâm iOS developer. Would love to test the skill and provide feedback. Thanks

Not sure if your skilled in this but there is an unofficial Wyze api (Wyze-sdk) and I was trying to make my own Wyze alexa skill that uses the api to add room mapping and such until Wyze is ready to release their own. The python api has functions for start and stop plus room mapping and much more. I unfortunately wasnât able to import it into the Alexa hosted lambda server but maybe thatâs something your into? Just an idea 
The fruits of your labors:

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Wyze Product Managers and Engineers for delivering this device! This functionality has been very popular amongst the community! It is working perfectly and has completely taken my vacuum to the next level. I love that I can ask the device to clear individual rooms, even asking to clean multiple rooms with a single command! This has completely made my day! Thank you so much!
