How do Rules work with the Wyze Sense?
Rules help automate your Wyze Sense devices, making it easier to turn off notifications with a single tap in the app or at a scheduled time, or upload a video to the cloud when the sensor opens.
- Shortcuts run actions with a tap in the Wyze app.
- Schedules control devices based on the time of day.
- Device Triggers connect multiple Wyze devices so one can trigger another.
