Wyze Cameras Setup and Alexa Integration Issues

Hey everyone,

I’m really excited about setting up my smart home, and I’ve been working on integrating my Wyze cameras and Alexa devices. I’ve got a few things figured out, but I’m hitting a couple of bumps in the road that I’m hoping the community can help with.

First off, I’ve got these Wyze Cam V2 outdoor cameras, and they’re great for monitoring my property. However, I’m having trouble with the SD card recording. I’ve followed all the instructions, formatted the cards to FAT32, and everything seems to be set up correctly, but the cameras still aren’t recording anything. It’s frustrating because I rely on these cameras for security, and without recordings, it feels like half the job isn’t done. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting the SD card recording to work properly?

On the Alexa front, I’ve got an Echo Show 8 that I’m trying to integrate with my smart home setup. I’ve set up all my devices, and most of them are working smoothly. But there’s one thing that’s been driving me crazy: I can’t get my Smart Home Favorites to show up on the Echo Show. I’ve tried everything from factory resetting the device to toggling settings on and off, but nothing seems to work. The favorites are enabled in the Alexa app, so I’m not sure what’s going wrong. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, how did you resolve it?

I’m also curious about anyone’s experiences with using Alexa to control their Wyze cameras. I’ve heard that it’s possible, but I’m not entirely sure how to set it up. Any advice or step-by-step guides would be incredibly helpful.

Overall, I’m really impressed with how much I’ve been able to accomplish with my smart home setup, but these few hiccups are making me a bit nervous. I’m hoping the community can shed some light on these issues and help me get everything up and running smoothly.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice!
