Oh, that’s not likely to happen. These forums are mostly community-run by other non-employees and not monitored by support. Wyze usually only posts in roadmap threads like these when there is some official announcement or big update that was agreed on by several senior staff. They rarely respond to individual posts here, especially related to feature requests, etc. If you want to talk to someone in Support you have to go through email, live chat or phone support…and support will basically just tell you it is on the roadmap and in-development and there is no official ETA. Part the reason for this is that too many people feel entitled or complain no matter what they list for an ETA, especially if testing issues push it back further than expected for whatever reason…so it’s better just to say they’re working on it, and leave it at that.
There are assurances that this is on the roadmap and in development, but that’s the extent of the assurances we have. If you need timelines or more than that like ETA’s, you are not likely to get those until they hit beta testing, and then it can be assumed public release is near.
The likelihood of Wyze giving an ETA is very unlikely, but I know they have a lot of plans to bring a bunch of different stuff out by the end of the year. They’ve also been talking about other updates and they just barely released a new rule-engine. I think that is part of the delay, they’ve been putting a lot of effort into this new rule engine, and it just graduated beta-testing, so now they should start working on adding a bunch of new rules for things.
I have seen a lot of requests for being able to enter exact colors with Hexidecimal or something similar, so that would be a cool update I expect is likely. I am not sure if they will do the color/brightness switching with each on/off as described here. If I was a betting man I would bet this would not be coming in the next 6 months and quite possibly not ever, at least not from Wyze Directly. However, you make a good point that they could provide a public/open API and others could provide these customizations…but Wyze has recently said almost certainly won’t be considering a public API until at least next year and that it would be a big effort to make sure it is sustainable, secure, etc…so it would certainly take longer than a few months. Therefore I would bet that’s not happening within 6 months from now. But you never know since there was a recent thing going on with the Home Assistant hacked API…Wyze took notice and agreed to work with that community to have some support going forward, and who knows where that will all get to…maybe it will accelerate Wyze’s API timeline.
I am just saying, don’t expect a reply in here about it (though it could happen, it rarely does). Don’t bother asking support because they aren’t in on those details. They primarily read scripts for basic troubleshooting, process returns/replacements or help with ordering, but not a lot else in all truthfulness, and usually know less than the people in the community here when it comes to knowledge type things of what’s been said by the higher staff in AMA’s, etc.
Wish I could be of more help or tell you what you want to hear, but the above is the honest truth in my long experience here. Best of luck figuring things out.
