So what do you guys think? Are you excited about how Wyze is moving from not only having cameras, but also now these sensors? Really can't wait to see what all this company is going to make.

I have put a motion sensor outside, covered under an awning so not in direct weather, but the company says they aren’t so just be aware they may not last long depending on where they are put outside. As for the notifications, you’d have to setup two shortcuts to automate it when notifications turn on and off based on time of day. So in a way yes, but it is a little more setup work than just a button.

And if I did that it would be 50 hours. Settle down that’s why there are going to be multiple videos. Sheesh

I enjoyed that, thanks Josh. I feel better prepared to perform the setup process, but what I really wanted to know was how to mount the sensors to a patio door on which the contact points are not flush. They're perpendicular. Also, how to mount them on a garage door. Hoping you make a video on that part of it. Thanks again!

Glad to have helped! So to mount them on a patio door, best way is to just test and see where works. I don't peel the sticker till I've figured exactly where to put them. So if you have the app open to the sensor and then hold the sensors where you think may work, you'll be able to see if it does. Unfortunate, its a guessing and testing game for that. As for the garage door, you can do 2 options, one is to put them on the ground in the corner and the other on the door itself....make sure its out of the way on the ground so you don't run it over. But the other option, and better is to have a hinge system made. So if you have a library that has a 3d printer you can take them a file of a hinge bracket for this exact thing. If you email me I can send you that file....or just send me an email, might be able to make you one. Email is in the About section on my channel: kzread.infoabout

I tried reseating batteries but nothin. Maybe the batteries are dead and i can try that but im getting new ones so ill see. Motion sensor works great.

Great video Josh. I was also impressed with their size. I did some research on the motion detector. Which is is PIR based not pixel based. So it should only pick up things with heat. It's not gonna pick up the motion of light, trees, or the leaves.

Hi, Josh, Excellent video. Thank you so much. I always appreciate your honesty in your assessment. 3 quick questions: 1) Can the Wyze sense and motion sensor be used outdoor (such as in the rain)? 2) If my Wyze cam has person detection feature, what is the point of getting a Wyze motion sensor? 3) I understand you can use the Wyze motion sensor to activate a Wyze smart bulb. Can the Wyze smart bulb be used by itself as a motion light? Thanks again.

@GrossTechnology

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! As for your questions: 1: yes and no. You can but it’s not rated for outdoor. 2: the motion sensor is a more reliable. Also you can have the camera be in a different spot than the motion sensor and trigger the camera after the sensor is triggered. 3: I’m not totally understanding this one. The bulb has nothing else besides the light. So it can’t be triggered without something else like a sensor.

Would love to see you do a video on how to use IFTTT to have that little Wyze door sensor, or motion detector, trigger an action in Amazon Echo!! I have the Wyze camera and so far, it's been great.

@GrossTechnology

5 жыл бұрын

Yeah actually making that video this week, using IFTTT and in the Wyze app to link the sensors and bulbs. Not for an Echo but will look into that as well. Thanks

Got mine as well. Yes-TINY!! I’m hoping Wyze adds more functionality to the sensors. For example, my Wyze Cams record 24/7, not just when they detect motion. A motion detection alert just allows me to locate the video on the Playback quickly, so I can check video footage before and after the 12-second alert video. I would like to be able to connect these new Wyze Sense devices to my Alexa-controlled home security devices, such as lights. Right now, all I get are the little alert notifications that something opened, closed, or moved. Will be nice when Wyze offers additional sensors on their website. I have a lot of windows and a few doors to configure. Great video, Josh!

Great question, but sadly no. They are working on this but as of right now it is always on. You either have notifications or you don’t have notifications on. As far as outdoor rating, they say that it isn’t, but so far I have a contact sensor and a motion sensor outside with no issues. They are under some cover so not in direct openings so they don’t get rained on. If you were going to do this, I’d say wrap it in either a bag or cellophane to keep it dry.

I am looking forward to getting a couple of these. New subscriber here.

Can we get an update on how long the batteries last (how many notifications)? Will you get a notification when the battery needs replacing? I live in Australia, and I’m wondering what (apart from the plug) do Wyze have to change before they can sell internationally?

@GrossTechnology

5 жыл бұрын

Well I’ll put it this way, I’ve had my motion sensor a little before they went public and have it in the bathroom, so it goes off all day long, can’t say how many specific notifications but a ton. Anyways, battery status still shows normal. These batteries are quite large so I’d assume they will last a long long time. But I will keep track and as soon as one shows drainage, I’ll update ya. As for international, I think it’s more about cost and regulations to getting into some places. But not really sure.

Is this a two way as well can you talk to whoever is in the room

@GrossTechnology

4 жыл бұрын

The sensors have no mics or anything like that. Just a sensor that either senses motion or open and close. The cameras themselves are two way, you can listen and talk through the cameras if that is what you were meaning.

Can't you just have the camera aimed at the door so when it opens the camara (v-2) detects motion?

@GrossTechnology

4 жыл бұрын

Correct, but the camera motion can be set off for a bunch of reasons, so this could stop false alarms as well as for those that don’t have an extra camera to point there you can just have the sensor tell you know if it opens.

@Nellopi22

3 жыл бұрын

Right that’s what I was mind boggled about also. The Wyze cam v2 already has sensor and motion ability so the only benefit if this new product is having more sensors with 1 more capabilities (open/close notifications ). Now if these tiny sensors had their own cameras that would be awesome

@GrossTechnology

Well the motion sensor is actually a different sensor than what’s in the camera. That’s why there are less false triggers. It’s not just motion it’s a PIR sensor.

But the camera does not have a PIR sensor which causes it to be triggered by anything, a branch, a shadow, any movement. But with the motion sensor it can be more precise and set off when a person walks by. So yes the motion detector needs the camera, just as do any of the other items in the sense kit, but it works so much better.
