Home Assistant Redirect Button for Wyze Live Stream from Dashboard Snapshot

Hi Wyze Team,

I’m currently building out a custom smart home dashboard using Home Assistant, and I’m a long-time subscriber to Cam Plus Unlimited. I love the Wyze ecosystem and have no plans to leave it, but I’d like to request a small feature that would make it significantly more functional in smart home environments.

Here’s my request:

Could Wyze add support for a redirect mechanism (e.g., deep link or app intent URL) that allows a mobile device to jump directly from a Home Assistant dashboard snapshot to the live stream of a specific camera in the Wyze app?

I’m not asking to embed the live stream into Home Assistant or bypass Wyze’s app. In fact, I want to keep using the Wyze app for live viewing — but I’d love to create a dashboard button (especially for my wife to use easily) that:
• Shows a snapshot in Home Assistant (event-based)
• When tapped, opens the Wyze app directly to that camera’s live view

If Wyze could provide a URL scheme like:

wyze://camera/live/CAMERA_ID

—or even a URL redirect service tied to the Wyze account—this would massively improve usability without compromising security or subscriptions.

I’m open to creating the automation in Home Assistant that handles delays or credentials if necessary. I don’t need a fully exposed API — just a mobile-friendly redirect pathway from a dashboard button to a specific camera’s live feed in the Wyze app.

This would save time, reduce confusion (especially for non-tech-savvy users like my wife), and make Wyze cameras even more useful in smart homes.

Thank you for the continued innovation
