Frequently Asked Questions
-
What commands does Google Assistant have for Wyze Garage Door Controller?
- You can open, close, and confirm your garage door's status (open or closed).
-
Can anyone tell Google Assistant to open my garage door?
- No, you must confirm your voice PIN with Google Assistant before the garage door will open.
-
Can I see the camera view of the Wyze Garage Door Controller on my Google Home display or Chromecast?
- 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 Google Assistant, but a door that you open/close with Google Assistant. While you cannot stream the view of your garage door to a Google device, you can still check your camera view via the Wyze app.
-
After telling Google Assistant 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 Google Assistant to open or close it, you may receive an inaccurate answer.
