I recently encountered a situation where I needed to integrate a Wyze Floodlight/Cam with a non-smart floodlight setup. Here’s the scenario: one wall switch controls two floodlights, and I only needed to replace one of them. My goal was to control the new Wyze Floodlight via the app while keeping the other floodlight operational without constant power.
Initially, I was concerned about whether the Wyze Floodlight would interfere with the existing setup or require both lights to be on all the time. After some research and experimentation, I found that it’s indeed possible to have the Wyze Floodlight operate independently while maintaining the functionality of the non-smart floodlight.
Here’s how it works: the Wyze Floodlight connects to my existing network, allowing me to control it through the app. The non-smart floodlight remains controlled by the wall switch, just as before. This setup not only saves energy but also enhances security by leveraging the Wyze camera’s capabilities.
I’d love to hear if others have similar setups or any tips to optimize this integration further. It’s always great to learn from the community’s experiences!
