What are the tabs in the Wyze app?
The Wyze app has 5 tabs: Home, Events, Monitoring, Shop, and Account. The Home tab has 3 additional tabs: Favorites, Devices, and Automations.
The Home tab: Favorites
The Favorites tab is the first screen shown after signing into the Wyze app. It displays your favorited Wyze devices and their status, devices groups, and any shortcuts you've created.
From the Favorites tab, you can:

Special Icons for Favorites:
Wyze Cam Floodlight and Wyze Garage Door Controller have their own status icons that display in the app on the Favorites tab. They indicate the floodlight's On/Off or garage door's Open/Closed status at a glance.

The Devices tab is next to the Favorites tab, and lists all of your Wyze Devices and Device Groups.
From the Devices tab, you can:

How to turn on Do Not Disturb for the Wyze app:
Tap the notification bell to turn on Do Not Disturb. No matter your other Notifications settings, you will not receive any notifications from the Wyze app.
Exception: Critical Alerts for Services like Wyze Home Monitoring will push through no matter your app settings.
How to group your Wyze Cams together:
Tap on the + plus sign, then Device Group > Camera Group. Name it, then choose the cameras you want in the group before tapping Done.
A camera group lets you view all of your Live streams on the same page, and saves space on the Home tab. Want to view a single Live stream? Tap on it from within the group!
How to add a Device Trigger in the Wyze app:
Tap on the + plus sign, then Automation > Device & Service Trigger > Device & Service Trigger. Select the device, what will trigger the action, and the action. Then tap done.
Automations are what makes your Wyze ecosystem smart. Triggers are a type of automation that make your devices work together. Have your porch light turn on when your camera senses motion, or your coffee pot turn on when your lamp turns on.
Here's an example of a device trigger with a Wyze Sense Entry Sensor and a Wyze Bulb. When the door sensor opens (trigger), the hallway lamp turns on (action).
How to set the Detection Zone for your Wyze Cam:
Tap on your Wyze Cam > Settings gear > Event Recording > Detects motion. Then tap Detection Settings > Detection Zone > Detection Zone. Tap and drag the grid to set the area where motion will be detected. Your changes will save automatically.
Note: You must have Detects motion toggled on to set a Detection Zone.
How to set up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
From the Home tab, tap Account > Security > Two-Step Verification. Select how you want to verify during sign-in: Email, SMS, or Authenticator App. Follow along to copy and paste the verification code in the app, then save your settings.
Here's how to set up 2FA with an Authenticator App (like Google Authenticator, DUO mobile).
