Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with setting up the Wyze Cam v2 and the challenges I faced with shortcuts. I’ve been trying to get my camera to trigger notifications when motion is detected while I’m away, but the shortcuts just wouldn’t work. I set up a simple rule to turn on motion detection and notifications, but it didn’t activate as expected. I even checked the history, and it showed as successful, but no notifications came through—even when my dog walked by!
After some research and trial and error, I found that adjusting the rule to include a delay before notifications helped. It seems the camera needed a moment to process the motion before sending alerts. I also made sure all the firmware was up to date, which was a crucial step.
Here are a few tips for anyone else struggling with Wyze Cam shortcuts:
- Check Firmware: Ensure your camera and app are up to date.
- Test Notifications: Verify that notifications are working by triggering them manually.
- Simplify Rules: Start with basic rules and gradually add complexity.
- Use Delays: Sometimes adding a short delay can help the system process triggers correctly.
It’s been a bit frustrating, but I’m glad I could figure it out. Now, my camera reliably notifies me when there’s activity while I’m away. If anyone else is having issues, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help troubleshoot!
Cheers,
