Wyze Cam Smoke Alarm notifications and spring has sprung
Posted By RichC on March 30, 2023
It may not be pretty with the old mulch, leaves and dirty sidewalks … but spring has sprung in 2023. The old-ish bulbs are up and the buds are on the magnolias and lilacs.
On another subject, I’ve contacted Wyze about one of my newer cams triggering a RED “Smoke Alarm” message which definitely caught my attention. While I love having this kind of warning, it does make your heart skip a beat when it pops up. 
I’ve watched and listened to the recorded video several time and struggle to hear anything similar to the feedback message that the “Wyze Wizard” sent me back (that’s what they call their tech support people).
The Wyze Cam’s sound detection algorithm is programmed to detect the pattern of standard smoke and carbon monoxide alarm signals. For smoke alarms, the Wyze Cam listens for the Temporal-Three (T3) alarm signal, which produces 3 long beeps followed by a pause. For carbon monoxide alarms, the Wyze Cam listens for the T4 alarm signal, which produces 4 long beeps followed by a pause.
Please ensure the Smoke Alarm Sound is enabled

EDIT: Almost comical since the day after the “Smoke Alarm” on the Rear Drive Tele Wyze cam the neighbors were burning and smoke was blowing our direction … yet no alarm. 😊
