Wyze Cam V3 Remote Restart Solution with Smart Plug

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a solution I found for remotely restarting my Wyze Cam V3 when it goes offline. I’ve been using a Wyze Smart Plug for this purpose, and it’s been working great! Here’s how I set it up:

  1. Hardware Setup: I plugged my Wyze Cam V3 into the Wyze Smart Plug. This allows me to control the power supply remotely through the Wyze app.

  2. Automation Setup: I created a simple automation in my smart home system that turns the plug off and then back on after a short delay. This effectively restarts the camera without needing physical access.

  3. Benefits: This setup has been incredibly helpful, especially when I’m not home. It’s a cost-effective solution that leverages existing Wyze ecosystem compatibility.

I’d love to hear if others have tried similar setups or if there are any improvements I could make to the automation. Happy to help anyone who wants to try this out!
