To add Wyze to SmartThings, you can use the IFTTT (If This Then That) app as a bridge between the two platforms. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Download the IFTTT app from your Play Store or visit the IFTTT website (ifttt.com) and create an account if you haven’t already. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices.
2. Once you have created an account and logged in, use the search function within the IFTTT app and look for the Wyze icon. It should appear as one of the available services. Tap on it to select it.
3. To connect your Wyze account to IFTTT, you will need to enter your Wyze login credentials. This will allow IFTTT to access your Wyze devices and perform actions on your behalf. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the authentication process.
4. After successfully connecting Wyze to IFTTT, you can now create applets to integrate Wyze with SmartThings. An applet consists of a trigger (If This) and an action (Then That).
5. To create an applet, tap on the “My Applets” tab at the bottom of the IFTTT app and then tap on the “+” button to create a new applet.
6. For the trigger, select Wyze as the service and choose the specific trigger event you want to use. For example, you can select “Motion detected” if you want to trigger an action when motion is detected by your Wyze camera.
7. Next, choose SmartThings as the action service. You will need to authorize IFTTT to access your SmartThings devices. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the authorization process.
8. Once SmartThings is connected, you can select the specific action you want to perform. For example, you can choose to turn on a specific SmartThings device or execute a routine when the trigger event occurs.
9. Customize the action settings according to your preferences. For example, you can choose which SmartThings device to control or specify the duration of the action.
10. After setting up the trigger and action, give your applet a name and save it. The applet will now be active and will run whenever the trigger event occurs.
11. You can create multiple applets to automate different actions between Wyze and SmartThings, depending on your needs and preferences.
It’s important to note that using IFTTT as a bridge between Wyze and SmartThings may introduce some delay in the execution of actions. This is because the applet needs to communicate with both platforms before performing the desired action. However, for most home automation scenarios, this delay is usually minimal and doesn’t significantly affect the overall functionality.
By following these steps, you should be able to integrate Wyze with SmartThings using the IFTTT app. Enjoy the added convenience and automation that this integration brings to your smart home setup!
