Using Rules with Wyze Sense

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.
