How It All Works Together

By combining these Wyze smart sensors and devices, you can create automations such as:
  • Heating turns on when motion is detected in a room and the temperature drops below your set comfort level.
  • Heating turns off or lowers when no motion is detected for a set period, or when a window is opened.
  • Lighting adjusts automatically to match your heating schedule, creating a cozy environment as soon as you arrive home.
All of this can be managed remotely through the Wyze app, giving you full control and real-time insights, whether you're at home or away.
