Floodlight Cam - allow separate Alexa control of the Floodlight vs Cams
Would like to be able to have Alexa turn the floodlight on/off without affecting the status of the attached camera(s).
Also would like to be able to put the floodlight into a lighting grouping independently of the camera(s).

I bought this lamp socket to power my backyard cam and also to have a smart socket for my backyard light. Lamp socket is not discoverable by the Alexa app which kind of ruined the whole idea. Also, when I click on the light bulb above the video for the v3 to turn on the backyard light, it shuts off as soon as I close the app. Would like to see this socket updated.
I would love to be able to control the floodlights with Alexa independent of the v3 they’re attached to - I have other smart lights in my yard and being able to use the floodlight as another light in the device group would be awesome.
Bump +1 on this wishlist. I can’t believe this only has 36 votes! Really? Is Alexa dead? Am I living in the past? What’s the new trending smart home automation voice assistant all the hip kids are using nowadays?
Honestly, every Wyze device should be able to be read and controlled by Alexa. INCLUDING THE SENSE HUB!
Right now, when I tell Alexa “I’m leaving”, the only option I have for a Thermostat action is to set one specific temp. I can’t change the ‘state’ to Away so that it reacts to the Away range I already programmed onto the T-stat.
I would really like to be able to see the Temp sensors attached to my sensor hub in the Alexa app/skill. I would like to be able to ask Alexa and get the current value, something like “Alexa - ask Wyze for temperature in basement” and have it reply with the current reading.
Would like to see scan cams. Show each cam that’s on for 30s then switch to the next. If Alexa would just allow multiple custom actions in a routine I could set it up there but I guess either the wyze skill or Alexa app must be updated to do this simple task.
No voice command for the lightbulb (I need Alexa) is a deal breaker for me. Even a mechanical switch on the socket would work in my situation. There are non-Wyze versions available with a mechanical switch for the lightbulb, and that likely is what I’ll go with.
Use case: Sometimes at night will set bulb color to red (for a dimmer night light) by saying “set bulb to red” however the only way to set the bulb color back to sun match the following day is to go into the Wyze app and re-toggle sun match.
Would like to say something like “set bulb to sun match” and have it apply that setting.
I don’t happen to have a Wyze color bulb unfortunately, but on my wiz bulbs, I just say, “Alexa Front Desk daylight”
Mentioning in case it’s just phrasing.
I just installed my new floodlight with the three camera. I’ve been very disappointed that I cannot turn on the floodlight itself using Alexa. Quite often I like to look out into my yard and I have to have my phone available in order to turn the light on the fire started around. It would be so much easier just to ask Alexa to turn the light on.
[Mod Edit]Merged with an existing wishlist topic. Give it a vote to help it along!
