Enhancing Home Security with Wyze Cameras and OpenHAB

I recently upgraded my home security system by integrating Wyze cameras with OpenHAB, and I must say, the results have been fantastic! :dart: Here’s a bit about my journey and some tips for anyone looking to do the same.

Initially, I was struggling with inconsistent connectivity and camera placement. After some research, I decided to go with Wyze cameras due to their reliability and affordability. Pairing them with OpenHAB allowed me to create a seamless automation setup. For instance, motion detection now triggers not only the cameras but also adjusts the lighting in the area, providing a comprehensive security layer.

One challenge I faced was setting up full-screen clock displays on my Show 5. After some trial and error, I found that adjusting the layout settings under the ‘Home & Clock’ menu did the trick. It’s now fully utilizing the screen, which looks great!

I’d love to hear from others who have integrated Wyze cameras or similar devices into their smart home setups. Any tips or tricks you’ve discovered would be invaluable! :handshake:
