Frequently Asked Questions

  • What commands does Alexa have for Wyze Garage Door Controller?
    • You can open, close, and check your garage door's status (open or closed).
  • Can anyone tell Alexa to open my garage door?
    • No, you must confirm your voice code with Alexa before the garage door will open.
  • Can I see the camera view of Wyze Garage Door Controller on my Echo Show?
    • No, because although the garage door controller has a camera attached, it is a garage door controller. It is not a camera that you view with Alexa, but a door that you open/close with Alexa. While you cannot stream the view of your garage door to an echo device, you can still check your camera view via the Wyze app. 
  • After telling Alexa to close/open my door, it still tells me the same status. What gives?
    • Your garage door controller needs at least 15 seconds to update its status. This is because the camera uses multiple frames to determine if the door is open or closed. So if you check the status immediately after asking Alexa to open or close it, you may receive an inaccurate answer.
