Notification sound on person event

[ivaskap]

Is it possible on an android phone to have the notification for person movement play a sound rather than vibrate? Is it possible to have different notification sounds for different cameras? I am trying to get rid of old security alarm system but have a comprehensive notification system in place.

I couldn’t find anything for your first question, but I did find this Wishlist topic.

Individual Camera, Sense, Doorbell, AI detection type, etc. Alert Notification Sound and/or Color

Our garage door suddenly opened in the middle of the night. We have push notifications enabled but that alerts for each camera. It would be helpful to have a separate alarm-type sound available for individual cameras. An alarm that you can enable or disable for each camera. Cars drive by all the time so push notifications go off constantly. But if it was a different alarm sound for our garage camera then we could have gotten up and investgated the situation. Thank you!

Thank you. I think one of the things they should do soon is to develop a better more detailed user manual. That would answer a lot of questions.
Thanks again,

You could use a sense device like a contact or motion sensor and a separate sounding device like a chime with an Alexa or IFTTT routine to create a mobile alarm. I made the setup below in about 10 minutes and use it for alarms driven by both kinds of sensors with different ring patterns for each application.

if you are android there is a work around.

I cant believe everyone forgot about this. @tomp @DreadPirateRush come on guys this was my best how to.

How to get Individual camera notifications ( workaround)

so, most of us here want to be able to get individual notifications from different cameras. for instance if you have someone at the front door, you want to know its the camera you have on your front door, and not the one inside your garage sending the notification. I have come up with a workaround that will work until Wyze rolls something more solid out. DISCLAMER, I use android and the Wyze beta app, I don’t know if the app you need is available on IOS but if it is, it should functions simila…

Hey-you Android people! I did check it out in the IOS App Store but nothing turns up under Light Flow or Lightflow Shame- I was eager to play with it.
I didn’t forget your “best”. I’ve got it earmarked. I’m hopefully going to wind up with an Android device once this quarantine is over and I can travel.
Good work!

Oh, I remembered your how-to, I just didn’t think it covered person detection specific sounds. I guess I need to go re-read it, eh?
