Temperature and humidity in date and timestamp

That’s what I’ve done for now yep.

Had to find a good way to position it so as it’s not in the view… and now that I just checked to show you a screen shot I see that my good old Smurfs thermometer from 1986 didnt stand the wind storm last night! :joy:

I would vote for an external USB thermometer tjhat I could selectively add to some of my 19 wyzecams. A firmware patch would need to add a subroutine to check for the existence of such a device and retrieve and display the temp (perhaps in lieu of the WYZE logo). In this way, the temp device could be added to only the cameras where temp is desired and the cost borne by only users who wanted/needed the function.

Hi!

We love the camera, can you add the temperature sensor? It will be a good improve to check baby room and outside.

Best regards!

Sweet

They could probably have the cameras pick up local temperatures off a weather service. It wouldn’t be perfectly accurate, but it would keep costs down doing it this way. All they’d need is some programming and a firmware update.

Here is a USB Temperature sensor that logs readings to a text file:
TEMPer USB Thermometer w/ Alerts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VA813U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_B8pwCbCF3HZG9

Seems simple enough to:

  • Enable the USB-A port on back of the camera

  • Add support in firmware that reads temperature output data from stick, displays it next to clock

  • Add alert settings to sent notifications when temp crosses user-defined range; support action via IFTTT

  • OEM this stick as a WYZE Cam Temperature Sensor optional accessory. For those that want it can buy from your store (I would ;-), No added cost to camera itself.

I like this idea. And I have a few “I’m not a programmer, but have some thoughts” ideas to add…

If looking for indoor temps, linking the camera to a wifi thermostat would be pretty ideal.

For outside temps, linking it to some sort of weather data would be nice. To get granular, perhaps integrating with individual weather stations that are on the Weather Underground network. That way, you could see the temp of a location in your neighborhood (or your yard if you have a station reporting to WU) instead of the nearest airport which could be a few miles away.

I myself would prefer it on the outdoor Camera itself and not connected to a network, or weather data site.
Where I live, there is often a significant difference in temp vs what they say on the weather network.

It’s close of course, but not accurate

I use my WYZE cam in my 5 month old baby’s room – It would be awesome if my WYZE Can Pan app could display the temperature and humidity in the room where the camera is located.

I love the thermostat idea. My acurite hub was just end life. Time to move to something new!

Having temp on the new sensors, or a separate temp sensor would be great.

:+1: This is exactly what we have done. A giant garden dial thermometer within camera view outdoors and smaller digital ones indoors. Also use the kind that remember the high and low for last 24-hrs in the greenhouse.

That’s a brilliant idea.

Couldn’t a temperature timestamp be looked up on the Internet the same way many thermostats do? That wouldn’t require any sensor at all and the temperature would be close enough.

A thermometer in2 a camera, realy? B real b4 posting on2 a 4rum. Get a separ8 app 4 yur digital weather report. Wyze cam is a security camera, not a weather station.

Um. Wow.
