here you have the wzye app when you first log into it you can see i have two separate plugs
anytime you add a new plug or a new item it will always go to the top here you can toggle your plug
on and off and there you can see the light turning on and off to the side now the app itself i will
say was originally designed for the wyze cameras so they kind of cannibalized and and built upon
the app for these extra things such as the plug such so down here these are all pretty much
related to the wyze cams that's your shopping that's your account so let's actually just pop
into the plug to see what you can and cannot do actually we're going to go into this plug because
this is the plug i use more often so inside the plug the settings are you can turn it on
or off and that's toggling a plug nowhere near where we are currently you have timer which will
allow you to right here it says turn plug on after x amount of whatever or you can set it to
turn plug off after x amount it's fairly standard for a smart plug you also have vacation mode which
will allow you to put this plug into a vacation mode so what it will do is will automatically
turn on and off the plug as if you were home now you don't get to set anything up there uh you can
also tell it to don't show me this again we're just going to go turn on and now vacation mode is
on you can see it's in green if you want to turn that off you just click on it again so turn on
and off so we'll randomly turn the plug on and off based on making it look like you're home here you
have runtime so today you can see it's been on for 59 minutes and it will show you exactly when
it has been on nice little chart there average i get about hour 45 because this is my bedroom
light so it's only on really in the evenings but here it'll show you just about how long it stays
on and you know give you a little graph and kind of help you figure out you're using your plug now
keep in mind that this does not keep track of energy in any way shape or form it just
tells you readouts of how long things have been on up here you have settings coming to settings you
can change the device name so just like when you originally set up you can change the device name
there plug status light now this is neat i like this you can turn that on or off and since it's
in my bedroom i like to keep that off because while the status light isn't terribly bright
i don't want that on schedule automation so wyze allows you to set up specific scheduling so for me
these are all things that i set up for my wyze cam and wyze cam pan to turn on and off
based on specific uh specific days of the week now to set up an automation you come up here
press the plus sign so you can create a schedule a shortcut or a device trigger
in our case just so you can see we're going to set a shortcut and we will call this wyze plug
and select an action now from here you would have to select either your basement or
bedroom plug so we're going to go that and we're going to select turn on or off we're going to say
turn off and hit save and now we have a trigger that will add a shortcut to our main menu now we
are going to discard all that because i really don't want to have that on my main screen i
prefer to use my voice to activate the plugs or the button on the device share well if you
had somebody else with a wyze account you could share access to specific things using this now
if you press on share you would have to know their email address in order to do that device info is
just that it tells you all the device info it will allow you to update directly from there however
when a update is pushed it does automatically show up on the launch screen when you enter the app
and that really is the wyze plug the rest of the app is really meant for
a lot of the other things uh the y sense the wyze bulbs and the wyze cam it they pretty much
are making their own little ecosystem now so if you're interested i'll put a link over there to
one of the wyze cam videos that i've done so that you can get an idea of other things that
the app can do this was mainly just to show you what the smart plug application could do
you
