I have an autistic son who tries to sneak out at different times of the day and night. I installed the sensors on the doors and with the Alexa routines I get an voice alert saying which door is open. I love this. It has been working great so far. For extra peace of mind,

Welcome to the Wyze world, @mattfisher00, and thanks for the tip.
Alexa works well for this type of thing. But, since you are relying on this as a safety measure for your son, a word of caution. Alexa will work flawlessly most of the time but in my experience using her to speak on events, she will just randomly stop doing the say-a-phrase parts of the routine. So far she hasn’t failed at cutting plugs on etc, just the vocal part.
When she does, disabling and re-enabling the Wyze skill helps.
Just FYI!
