Today we’re going to get the 8 Dollar USD Wyze Bulb setup and I'm also going to show
you how to take it a little bit further and get it integrated with a couple of different
systems so let's get going hello Automaters thanks for tuning in again I'm Brian from
Automate Your Life and today I'm going to take the frustration out of automation by
giving you all the tips and tricks into getting your Wyze bulb setup and I'll make sure that
some of the pitfalls that you will run into with these Bulbs will be avoided Now you need
these Wyze application on an iOS or an Android device and you'll need to be connected to
a 2.4 Wi-Fi signal in your home or a network in your home now once you've done that you
can go ahead and go into the Wyze application and from there you're going to want to reset
the light so this is my Wyze bulb here and in order to reset the light or get it ready
to pair we want to turn on and off the switch three times now I'm not going to leave this
on much but you can see it kind of flash there from the yellow color to the whiter color
and it will sit here and do this for a little bit while it's ready to basically pair in
the application now I'm going to move to the application and we'll get that done inside
of the application I'm just going to start a recording here. In the top right of the
application, hit the three dots and you're going to hit add a product now once you've
done that you can see the Wyze Bulb choice at the bottom now if you don't see that your
app is not up to date you'll need to update your application you can see that they're
telling you right here to power cycle your Bulb but we've already done that so I'm just
going to hit next now this is why you're connected to your 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi network already
when you go into the application because it prefills the network and you'll have to probably
put in your password here for your Wi-Fi network if you don't if it's already filled then you’re
like me and you set up some previous products inside of the Wyze application now what they
want me to do is go to my Wi-Fi setting so I'm just going to move over in my phone I
went to my settings and I go into the wi-fi system and what you'll notice is somewhere
down there and if you're setting up multiple of you can have them on the same switch and
you will actually see all three and you just repeat this process multiple times without
the reset actually don't have to re reset the bulbs because then you would reset them
again so what you're going to do is click on that or tap on that and it will connect
physically to that Network know when we head back to the Wyze application it instantly
moves forward if it didn't you have an x button there but it's instantly move forward into
the connection process I was trying to connect my cell phone basically to the bulb and then
the bulb to put it onto our Wi-Fi so there's a transfer of information going on here what
you're going to do is enter in a device name now I'm just going to call this our tester
bulb for right now because that's what it is for me in my home right now now I just
hit the Finish setup button and we're all done with the initial setup to leave it off
to the side here for a little bit within the application I can hit on on and then off and
the bulb will respond to that so you can see as I hit that that's it it's as hard as a
guess I can also tap and you will notice that you will get an upgrade auction here right
away in terms of a new firmware and if you don't get that that's okay you're bulb has
been updated all the way on you through a demonstration of how the different color profiles
work when you go into the actual menu on the Bulb let's start off just by turning on the
bulb with the little radio button up at the top right you can see it's on its most yellow
setting or yellow light setting and it's also at brightness 1% now as I crank it up there
that's around 100% And it's really quite right bulb over 800 lumens as specified now I can
go in a just the actual temperature of the Bulb. We're running from the 2700 of 60 500k
frame here or are light frame and it really does create quite the difference in your bulbs
now the little time clock looking button allows you to turn on and off the light. After so
many seconds and you can also hit the ad seen button to go ahead and save any of your favorite
settings and then from there you can tap that in order to turn the bulb to that now there
are additional settings up in the top right when you get the gear icon and this brings
you to the ability to rename the Bulb turn on vacation mode which just makes the bulb
turn on and off randomly you also can adjust the scenes further if you'd like to change
what their set as you can this specific device with other account and you can also get the
basic info and run a firmware upgrade if you're wanting to check on that we have the basics
down and we're able to change the color in the brightness on the length let's get a little
bit deeper end throughout this video you're going to finally get deeper and deeper and
deeper but what we're going to do first office hit that those three dots on the top and we're
going to go to edit shortcuts and I'm going to scroll down to the bottom I have quite
a few and I'm going to hit the create shortcut button now I want to create an action so this
is what I want the Bulb to do in a specific moments and we'll deal with that specific
moment after now I can hit new action and here's the tester Bulb when I'm going to tap
on that now within this one action I'm going to hit turn on set brightness and set color
temperature you don't have to do all of those things without those are all the things I
want to do at the same time and I'm going to turn the brightness way down I can pick
a white but I'm going to choose the soft white here and then I'm going to hit save now you
can see it created three separate actions but I just did that in one now I hit done
and I'm back at this creep shortcut screen know I can leave this is just a shortcut button
with a name and I'm going to call this name tester bulb on but I can also automate. Function
so if I tap that little radio button here's my automations choices so I can choose to
turn on and off the Bulbs you could see how you can make two of these shorts and I could
turn them all on and off at specific time that's good enough for many people but let's
go a little bit deeper I'm going to hit the event and now I have access to everything
inside of the Wyze application so this is cameras you can see my garage camera down
at the bottom I also have these different motion detectors and I can use those two singer
of dance I could also use other bulb so if you kind of wanted to set me than a series
or basically have one trigger the rest of them you can do that as well know what I'm
going to do is I have a y send contact center sitting here and have a look at it right there
knew this contact sensor is it's called The Secret events answer and I'm going to tap
on that this is very simple we just hit the open Button we could choose other options
here and that sets are event so you can go ahead now and every time you open not censor
it will trigger those three actions that we set up know what I did here in a short break
is I just added a second shortcut that when this closes this bald will turn off so there
we go where open and the bulb turns on and now as I put it back together the bulb turns
off you can see how quick that actually is that accident she also said delays there once
they've been closed for say a minute you can have this turn off so that pretty much to
the point where you can utilize the application fully you can obviously do different set up
here but you're ready to go on to the next most complex thing which is moving to if this
and that on the ifttt.com website you're going to want to start with a creation of an applet
now if this and we tap on that this you go ahead and you can choose Wyze to start the
actual automation but today because we're triggering bulbs on I'm going to use a platform
like Samsung SmartThings now if you don't have either of these Services connected then
it will ask you to put in your username and password for those that you can see all these
different choices that we have access to but I'm going to use a motion sensor to trigger
so I'm going to use my new bathroom sensor and create that trigger then I'm going to
hit them portion of the applet and type in Wyze go into there and now I can turn my bulb
on now you want to create the reverse applet of this to turn the bulb off after the motion
detector has stop sensing Motion in smart things you have to do something a little more
complex than that usually with motion detectors but for now we'll leave this and I'll show
you in a later video how to really integrate with SmartThings and Wyze products or Google
home hub over here any Google home product as well as the Amazon Echo or their voice
assistant so we can get these Bulbs connected and working with those and then we can use
our voice to control things well then let me show you how to do that very quickly inside
of Amazon's Voice Assistant application you'll go into skills and games from the menu you'll
hit the search icon at the top right and I've put Wyze inside of there you will find the
skill and right here it will say enable skill and you'll tap on that in order to put in
your Wyze credentials inside of Google homes application you're going to hit the add button
set up device have something already set up and again search for Wyze tap on that and
put in your credentials if you previously had service well it's actually a lot easier
to get these devices to come in and into the voice of system platforms here so I can say Hey Google
sync my devices and with Amazon's voice assistant Alexa, discover my devices. That's a very simple
process here but for now I'm just going to show you that you can turn on and off with
your voices and sold turn on tester Bulb you got it turning tester bulb on turn off tester
bulb there you go you can do everything now with your Wyze bulb you're going to get a
ton of functionality out of those bulbs and if you're looking for some more ideas for
how to get the most out of your Wyze sense and Wyze cameras with your Wyze bulb, I've created a special playlist
here for getting the most out of your Wyze bulbs that playlist is on screen right now
so go ahead and watch that otherwise guys don't hate automate
