Hey everyone, I’ve been on a bit of a quest to make my smart home setup more self-sufficient. One thing I’ve been really curious about is finding a speaker that can play sounds and music locally without relying on Alexa or the internet. I’ve been using Alexa and Spotify to trigger sounds like dog barks for my away mode, but I’d love to have this happen locally for better reliability.
I’ve heard some great things about Wyze cameras and their ease of use, so I decided to give them a try. I set up a Wyze sensor and a Wyze bulb, and it’s been working wonders for me. The setup was super straightforward—just motion detection at the front door, and the bulbs turn on and off automatically. It’s been a game-changer for keeping an eye on things while I’m away.
But here’s the thing: I only want these shortcuts to activate between 8 PM and 7 AM. I’ve been digging through the app to figure out how to set this up, but I’m not quite there yet. If anyone has tips on how to schedule these shortcuts or knows of a speaker that can handle local music playback, I’d be super grateful!
On another note, I’ve been really impressed with how Wyze integrates with other smart home devices. It’s been a smooth experience overall, and I’m excited to see what other possibilities there are with local automation. Let me know if anyone has any insights or recommendations—I’m all ears!
Cheers,
