I’ve been diving into the world of Wyze Cams and IFTTT automation, and I must say, it’s been quite an adventure! 
Let me share some of my experiences and tips with you all.
First off, I wanted to set up my Wyze Cam V3 to automatically turn on motion sensing when I leave home and disable it when I return. Initially, I tried using simple IFTTT recipes based on Wi-Fi connectivity, but I ran into issues with the app crashing on my phone. After some research, I switched to using IFTTT webhooks paired with a custom script on my router. This approach has been much more reliable! The script detects whether my phone’s MAC address is on the network and triggers the appropriate webhook. It’s a bit of a workaround, but it works like a charm! 
Another thing I encountered was an issue with the Wyze Cam’s scheduling feature. If I set the cam to enable motion sensing at a certain time and leave the house, the cam would disable motion sensing after the scheduled time even if I wasn’t home. This was a bit frustrating, but I found a solution by adding another script that pings my phone to check if I’m home before turning off motion sensing. If I’m not home, it keeps motion sensing active. It’s a simple fix that makes a big difference! 
I also noticed some network-related quirks with the Wyze Cam. At one point, it was creating an unusually high number of TCP connections to my ISP, which overwhelmed my router’s firewall and caused crashes. After adjusting my firewall rules to whitelist the cam’s IP, things smoothed out. If you’re experiencing similar issues, I’d recommend checking your firewall settings and possibly reaching out to Wyze support for further assistance. 
Overall, integrating Wyze Cams with IFTTT has been a fantastic way to enhance my home security and convenience. It’s amazing how a bit of scripting and creativity can solve even the trickiest problems! If anyone has tips or tricks for Wyze Cam automation, I’d love to hear them. Let’s keep the ideas flowing!
