What happens if a car is parked inside the garage and the camera is not able to read the qr code?
Installed ours today. Works flawlessly! Easy installation and setup. Love their products.
Same with ours! Super easy to set up and works great
Wait for the issues to arise , I’ll give you a few more days …
Does it work with IFTTT? Is there a Geofence option or plan for it?
How many times will I have to power cycle it?
I have about 40 Wyze products,
I think I'll stick with my MyQ opener.
Too bad MQ is not compatible with Alexa. I use Alexa in my car and could ask her to open the door using a code.
@@rbbartho1 sure it is. What are you talking about? I use Alexa to open my garage door all the time with myq
@@tolust...
Huh? Mine won't link with Alexa. I have a Chamberlain garage door opener. What model of MQ are you using? And, you can ask Alexa to open your garage door? I'm missing something.
@@tolust But you have to pay extra every month for that feature.
@@misterstratocaster lon no it's FREE Amazon even gives you $40 credit to purchase the add on device. NO MONTHLY FEES .
I cant see in the specs how long the wires are. Anyone have any insight? Was just talking with the wife about the need to upgrade our garage doors next, and how it would be nice if Wyze came up with something.
Wyze customers have already been doing this for over 3 years with a Wyze cam and Wyze plug. There is a whole redit on how to make it work. Wyze has just taken that and packaged it up now.
Can you please share a link for that?
Already have one of your entry sensors on my garage door (works great). Any plans that I can use that in place of the QR sticker for open/close detection (yes the entry sensor can fall off, but it isn't as unsightly as the QR code, which off course also can fall off...). I suppose the QR sticker is better option for safe guarding inadvertent closing and the liabilities associated with that. I do worry about the inherent Wyze cam response lag and how that translates into timing for door open and close. Anyhow, love your products and already ordered this - seldom disappointed with the value your products offer. Can I please implore you to create a 3-way (2 pole version) of your power switch (best product you guys sell in my book... )
@@redfishcrawfish3647 relax there little buddy.
can i program this to be open automatic when i get close to the house??
if it doesn't use sensors, will it stop from going down if there is a dog or child that runs through?
Help.... How do I use Alexa voice commands to operate the door opener? I use Alexa to control my other Wyze devices, but been unable with tire garage door controller.
Wyze has jumped the shark
Please fix the outdoor camera! Battery keeps dying
I have gotten two replacements so far…
Detection has been weak…
Thank you 🙏🏻
I put their solar panel on mine and it's worked great since I put it on two months ago.
@@misterstratocaster Thank you
Detecting has been an issue for me lately for the past few months I’m not sure if it’s a software glitch but its been pretty bad :/
@@MIGeoMous I had to go into the app and tell it that there was a solar panel attached. Here in the Pacific Northwest, it's been a pretty crappy spring. But i rarely gets below 98% And it's only $20.
All my remotes stopped working. I can only open it with the app now. Super annoying. How can I fix this ?

It is an actual 60-MINUTE loss for turnaround to check to see if garage door was left "open."
A) 20 minutes down the road before turnaround.
+
B) 20 minutes back to garage location.
+
C) 20 minutes back to geographical point where turnaround occurred to check on possible open garage door.
°
No it's not. You don't count the first 20 minutes. Think of it this way. Work is 20 minutes away, it's gonna take 20 minutes every trip to work. If you're at work and need to go back home to check, that's 20 minutes each way. 40 minutes.
How far v3 cam can be before it can't read QR code, reason I would like cam place to see full garage so i can see door to house also and not just looking down at garage door
Since there's no mention of it otherwise, I'm guessing this is for only one garage door. Also, the launch email said Alexa voice commands coming soon. Is there a ballpark on that? Like a month or... This year?
Pretty sure it said google assistant coming later
@@VinnyCam yeah, that's what I'm trying to get a feel for... Is it coming in a few weeks... Or a few months?
Need Alexa can’t always look for my phone to open the garage. So can’t buy until Alexa is ready.
@@bettybu24 you most likely won’t be able to open the garage from alexa. Just close… for security reasons
I will also wait till that feature is out
I have a car park with 6 car spots. Can I each driver access to the Wyze interface so they can open the garage instead of giving them all remotes? This way I can easily revoke someone's access to the garage. Anyone done this? Possible? Would using the app to open the garage be a pain?
I have liftmaster P200 with myq, and this one doesn't work at all. I tried wiring the learning wires from the controller with the door, no luck.
Does it supports location based? Like if I leave, door close automaically.. when i arrive, door open
I don't know but location based is not a good idea. Maybe if you leave but not if you arrive. You can pass by your house and accidentally open the door by mistake. I use Home Assistant and get notified if me or my wife are outside of the home. If I drive by the street behind, I get notified that I am at home, when in reality I am passing by. If you leave in a remote area, maybe it could work better than in the city. Also, GPS is not 100% accurate nor super fast at times. Meaning, you get home and are in front of your garage and it might take a few seconds for GPS to get an accurate position of you, defeating the purpose of automation.
I was told it supports location based automatically close only for safety reasons
That only works with MyQ and is Amazon key delivery compatible.
I currently have a V2 camera in my garage can I just use that one or does it have to be the V3? Doe the QR sticker need to stay on the door?
You need a v3 camera and the QR code has to stay it how the camera is able to determine if the door is open or closed as it’s not connected to any other sensors.
It comes with a v3.
@@pcbutts1 sold without one also if you have a cam already
How close does the camera need to be to pick up the QR code?
Can this be used with apple homekit and alexa? "Hey Siri, is my garage door open?" "Alexa, open the garage door."
Wyze does not work with HomeKit some items work with Alex.
@@PatrickMcColley thanks
Can you still use your old remotes, I may not have my phone with me?
I love wyze and will probably buy this but please don't call QR code reading "AI technology". Ooo can this work with the pan 2 because I have a door in my garage I would like to keep in camera view.
is the QR code just a piece of paper or should I laminate it to protect it from heat and humidity?
I think it’s a sticker but I may be wrong
So I have to keep that QR code sheet on my garage door all of the time?
Yes you do
@@rocknpunkdad then Wyze thinks your door is open.
That’s my question
@@rocknpunkdad ask a duh question, get a duh answer. It’s pretty clear what happens, the video tells you. Pay attention son you might learn something here.
You can just turn off the door is open\closed alerts and it will still work just fine without the QR code. It just wont give you alerts as to the status of the door.
Its not very smart with the scheduled close time feature. I wanted to set it just in case I forgot to close it myself. The issue I have is that if the door is already closed at the scheduled close time, rather than just leave it alone the system will open the door, wait a few seconds send you a "failed to close" notification, then return to closed. What the hell is the point of the QR code if the thing isnt going to pay attention to it BEFORE it does something.
What happens if you lose the QR Code on the garage door?
Make a copy lol
Print or scan the original one and keep 1 or 2 extra copys in a safe place also you can use some strong rare earth magnets to hold it steady. Wyze forgot to include some small magnets to hold the sticker, I'm sure the sticker it's no going to last at my door for 1 summer when weather hits 115° + here in phoenix arizona =)
But why use Genie opener in the video? Adding this to a Genie opener is like putting a touch screen in a 2007 Ford Fiesta.
If I already have a 'Smart' Garage Door Opener (myQ) that I can control remotely, how does this Wyze product improve upon that? Do I have to leave that QR code sheet on my garage door all the time?
I have MyQ as well as yours, and yes you would need that ugly funny barcode sticker on your garage door all time. Remember if you use Amazon key services (delivery to your garage) they only work MyQ so this wyze garage door is already obsolete and useless.
The other thing I don't see mentioned is the ability to add other person access like you can in MyQ. When we go out of town, I can grant scheduled access for our pet sitter entry to our house. This also provides me a log of just her access attempts and duration. I have a Wyze V3 camera recording the internal garage view and I can reference time stamps between MyQ and Wyze to review who/what activity happened.
Wyze let’s you install a sweet oversized QR code on your door permanently. That’s one improvement…. I have My Q also and there is no advantage to Wyze over My Q. You could add it to your My Q if you wanted but your not gaining anything other then the V3 cam.
I would assume the only advantage is that the wyze opener also functions as a security camera.
But you have to pay extra for Alexa support - pass.
5/24/2022 just installed Wyze garage door opener. I had tried many other brands,acidea, asante.2.0 with camera. But they all lose wifi connectivity from time to time since my garage is not closest to my home..They all had Alexa/Google voice open and close. SO I AM DISAPPOINTED IF WYZE DOES NOT GET THIS DONE..! I still have the other guys cam in my garage so Wyze hurry to update with these feature. It is a must!!! I am a wyze customer so i have my entire house with there products. So easy to install and cheaper then the other Brands.. But no Google/alexa voice control....Negative 😢 😔
Some news about the upcoming Wyze Cam V4?
can one not move the camera back more so you can see more of the garage?? (as long as it reads the code?
I tried that so I could see my cars, but it was too far for the sensor to read the QR.
Where'd you get the WYZE coffee cup????
Does wyze garage opener works with Ryobi opener? Can't see it in the list
No, it doesn't.
There’s an option to buy just the controller, without the camera. Does this mean I would be able to open/close with my phone but… if not at home, I couldn’t check to see if it was open or closed?
You need to have your own V3 camera to use this
On the home screen, there is not a button to open or close the garage door at 4:11 and your video
Nice ✊🏾 Question: Would I get 2 controllers (which means 2 QR codes) but 1 Wyze Cam if I have 2 garage doors?
door open, door close.... is there an option to partially open or partially close and then stop at that position?
Hi there! While we don’t offer a feature like that at this time, we'll make sure to pass this feedback along to our team! Our product team is always looking for ways to improve our current products and to know what our fans would like to see next.
Please feel free to add your voice to the conversation here: forums.wyze.com/c/wishlist/12. 🙂
would be better if they just integrated the controller into Wyze cam v3 like the momentum garage door opener and allow for more than one garage door opener. And keep the price around $50, shouldn't be too hard. Momentum also has a built in SD card slot but includes cloud recording for free, no need to pay for a cam plus subscription.
I'm curious...I installed my Wyze Garage Door controller and V3 cam but as of yesterday I no longer see the little button in the app allowing me to open/close the door. I called Wyze yesterday. What a waste of time that call was. I deleted the cam and garage door controller and started fresh. Still, no access to open/close the door in the app. The V3 cam works but not the controller. Thoughts?
Hello Richard. We’re so sorry to hear this! We’d be happy to look into this further. Could you please send us the 7-digit support request ticket number you received when you reached out to us?
@@wyze I was on the call for nearly 20 minutes (July 22, 2023 4:17PM MST) after which the woman said she was referring my concern to higher level support and I would receive an email to follow up on my issue but I never did. This was completely disappointing. I want to call again about this issue but I'm not motivated to contact Wyze support. I never received an email with a ticket number.
Thanks for the info! We were able to locate your recent call today. I went ahead and reached out to one of our specialists to look into this for you. They will email you shortly.
@@wyze I ordered just a controller today. I hope it works.
Looks like a good upgrade but the QR code may cause some other issues.
Hey WYZE!
Majority of houses in TEXAS have 2-3 CAR GARAGE DOORS, so what we need to do about it?
Thank you!
I guess I'm in the minority then
can it disarm the house???
another slap in the face from wyze , we’re tired of this . releasing new products i.e. gun safe , air purifier , lock bolt , and now garage door controller …
i’m not even surprised anymore wyze . please for the sake of your company , pls just fix your older products that you have left in total bug hell.
the AI is totally out of control , labeling people as motion, vehicles as motion, lights as pets and people , etc etc .
countless app issues , bugs , software issues!! if wyze continues to go down this route , i’m leaving seriously. i’m tired of my v3’s getting triggered by rain , lights , birds , bees , wind , car headlights , insects , but when i walk in frame or i pull my car in and out of my driveway it doesn’t detect.
why do we even pay for cam plus ?
i’m done , i’m moving to EUFY
Will it work with Amazon Key?
No
Yea not the best setup Wyze sorry, I love my Samsung smart things set up I put it up five years ago and yes it has a small, very small sensor with a battery that's over 5 years old and zero issues. I also have a Wyze cam set up to look to see if the door is open. That QR code sheet on the door isn't it, I'm sorry. You say the sensor can fall off, lol mine is screwed on also I see that sheet of paper falling off instantly, especially with my kids. I still love my Wyze cams.
Soooo alexa cant actually control the garage door, just open the camera view? I can tell my device to "show me the garage" and it will. When I say "close the garage" I am told "sorry garage camera does not support that". That is pretty disappointing. The whole point for me was to be able to use voice commands from my car. I still have to fiddle with my phone to get the door open now. Was kind of a waste for me.
“There are other products out there that require you to use a sensor. Batteries fail, and sensors can fall off.”
Pretty sure your comically oversized QR code is going to fall off before any sensor will.
😂😂😂 that big ass QR code looks absolutely ridiculous
Just ad 4 small rare earth magnets and the code sticker its going to be there forever warm hot or cold weather.
Geofence?
Sorry guys but there are wireless solutions such as Chamberlain MyQ that are better than this implementation. They are completely wireless solutions with app controls and then you could just install a V3 camera separately if you wanted.
I do like the idea of the sticker on the garage door, so it can't run out of batteries. I have MyQ installed, and it'll intermittently drop out
myQ also has smart door controllers, smart openers, and cameras - I just use a Wyze cam in the garage and myQ to control the door.
MyQ doesn’t sync with Vivint as advertised.
The MyQ doesn’t work with Alexa and charges $10/year for Google Assistant.. And costs more to begin with. This space is ripe for disruption and i’m glad they’re making this.
@@tsonificationI've had MyQ for a couple of years and use it with Google home and Alexa with no fees.
I've tried a couple others and neither work consistently. Ordered this one...we'll see. Meross is just plain junk. Nexx is/was better but sometimes features stop working and you've made no changes to the app or hardware configuration. Their tech support is a day behind (probably overseas) and they'll have you change a bunch of stuff - and it still won't work.
Please fix the Wyze Alexa skill, which keeps disabling a few times a month.
Hahahahha how i will see my door when i am outside and the wyze cam v3 didn’t work with 4G or 5G data mobile
All my v3's (all my Wyze cams actually) work fine with my mobile data. Weird that yours dont.
Please create a Face ID doorknob & locks for storage.
FYI:
YOU CAN NOT INSTALL THE WYZE GARAGE CONTROLLER IF YOU HAVE A WYZE SPOTLIGHT INSTALLED..YOU HAVE TO UNPLUG THE Y SPITTLER POWER CORD THE COMES WITH THE SPOTLIGHT AND ONLY USE THE SPLITTER POWER CORD THAT COMES WITH THE GARAGE controller..
You mention AI capabilities at the the 2:35 mark, but I don't get how a QR sticker can be interpreted as AI. I take AI as the ability to know if the door is closed just by looking at the door itself.
This is 100% dependent on line of sight between the camera and QR sticker. Considering that many people use their garage as a storage shed there's a high percentage this wold not work for because of loss of line of sight. Given this, go with a sensor solution if your garage motor isn't compatible with myQ.
For those asking about Alexa, from what I've learned no garage controller solution will allow you to use Alexa or Google to open the door, only to close it.
What happens when the power goes out?
Hi there! If the power goes out in your home, your Wyze Garage Controller will not function because it's powered to your garage opener.
Does this work with Google assistant?
Hi there! Yes, Wyze Garage Door Controller does work with Google Assistant. 😀
Lol they have low power mode on at 100% on a new iphone
I love your product!!! But if you can make your device work with Apple HomeKit it will be super amazing!!!!!
Is there a way to arrest uncle jerry? alert the police?
This guy doesn't own a socket wrench.
Or a PHD in Acting
I used to like Wyze a lot. Now I just like them. Or rather just their V3 cams that I own. I recently removed their HMS. I tried really hard to like it. Their motion sensors were garbage and I got tired of constant false alarms and calls from Noonlite. I wish they would work on the issues their customers present to them instead of sweeping them under the rug and coming out with more junk.
How can you assure you will not have any security holes patched after years? Controlling a garage door with security issue is equivalent of opening the front door for everyone.
Right, after leaving the cameras unpatched for so long and not telling your customers about the issue is a problem. How can you trust a company with your door security like the garage door and front door lock.
One big flaw is the QR code on the door. What happens if that area of the garage/door is full of storage items? Couldn’t you just use AI to determine open and close states? You have “eyes”…. Not rocket science.
Agreed. was ready to give this as a gift until I saw that part. Could be a major turnoff for many people.
As seen at 00:34, just put it at the very top of the garage door. Not sure why/how anyone would would have storage items obstructing the door at that height.
Sorry but I don’t want an ugly QR code even on the inside of my door. Plus what if a box or bicycle etc. is in the way? Going with a sensor would have been more reliable. It was funny to hear them try and spin how unreliable sensors supposedly are considering that WYZE themselves use door sensors in their security product. Come on guys. 🙄
I love you Wyze!
you must be joking
I’ve been using Garadgit for years that works with Google, Alexa, IFTTT. I also use a PanCam2 that looks out over the driveway. To check to see if my garage door is actually open or closed all I have to do is pan around and look inside the garage. When it detects a person on the driveway I just tell my echo show to show me the driveway and I can see exactly who’s out there. The majority of this is voice activated and I rarely ever have to open an app on my phone. I have programmed into my Google on my phone that all I have to do is say I’m home and the garage door opens… Pretty simple. I’ve been doing this for years! Why is this such a long time coming from Wyze? My whole house is Wyzed out.
@5:24 - “Wyze Car” … aka Dash Cam?!?
Hmmmmmmm…..
No, that means the actual wyze car that wyze sells . It’s a remote control car that has a WCO attached to it . Pretty sure no one buys it , except for the wyze fan boys
Dare I ask… will it work with Apple HomeKit?
Wyze does not work with HomeKit
Just like MyQ, it fails to add an option to auto-close when open for longer than X seconds/mins. It’s such a simple feature, yet no one adds it. Not buying until this is added.
I just set the myQ and the wyze (when it arrives )to send me an alert if garage has been open for X amount of minutes and close it myself.
Hi, with this wyze one you can set it up with alexa so after it has been open for x mins it can close in its own. In alexa, make a routine and add the garage sensor in the “when this happens” then in the “add action” add a wait command for x mins then add another action and use the custom command to say “close the garage door” :)
@@VinnyCam thanks, Vinny. I’ll give this a try.
@@n8236 let me know! :)
MyQ will automatically close my door after 10 mins after it beeps and flashes the connected light. I'm guessing this feature is only present on the door openers with MyQ built in and not the add-on device. Maybe?
Can’t get WYZE to respond to issues I have with their products so….
It might replace my myQ
Well I don't see any purpose for this but based on the comments seems like some do, so that's good
Wifi range sucks. Camera offline always. Returning it
Does this work with Siri? Anyone
Great product......but ya need a new spokesperson 🤠🤠🤠🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately Wyze can’t figure out how to make each camera have a distinct ring tone. So you can’t tell by sound which camera has been tripped. However the doorbell sound box has like 20 sounds (not used in app) and all the camera notifications sound the same for all their products…come on Wyze it’s 2022, you can’t write the code for this in your app????
"Let's talk about the amazing features..." So it uses "AI sensing technology to detect if the door is open or closed" Well, if it uses AI sensing technology, why do I need an ugly paper sticker qr code taped to my door? You can tell if a person is moving or if my dog is on the porch, but a 13 foot wide 10 foot high door, nope, need a qr code.
Then he goes on to say there are other products that require a sensor, but that those aren't as reliable or as smart as that piece of paper that you tape up. I really wanted this, but the QR code on the door isn't going to work for me and I have a wyzecam on my garage, but it is just far enough from the wifi that it says offline about 60% of the time. If there was an option for a battery failing sensor that falls off (note they use the same 3m tape that the wyzecam uses) I would take that over the paper that will definitly fall off when it gets in the negative degrees and even the 3m tape fails. But really, you just need to program the "AI sensing technology" to sense if the door is open.
And of course my garage door is not compatible since I have the yellow learn button👎🏽
Just leaving feedback. Not a big fan of placing that oversized QR code sticker on the garage door. Was ready to purchase as a gift until that part of your video. Consider other options.
gonna stick with my sensors sorry... also you guys suck about google assistant support so just gonna have your cam v2 with my other smart opener. not everyone uses Alexa guys, im still waiting for the robot vacuum support after a year. also most sensors don't use battery that would be stupid.
What kind of support do you want for the robot vac? Ours is on a time so at a certain time each week, it does its thing. I don't need to talk to it.
Again, Wyze trying to be the master of many products rather than the master of the core product line that made them Wyze. The WyzeCam V3 was announced in 2020, yet in 2022 as other brands expand their camera product line with 2K resolution and support for the future Matter standard, crickets from Wyze.
Sooooooooo
It's a $35 camera and it does what it advertises. Why do you expect the latest and greatest in a budget product? You might want to look elsewhere.
@@TheOnlyJohnAbraham exactly…
@@TheOnlyJohnAbraham I just expect them to be upfront and disclose their vulnerabilities and patch them in a timely manor and not hide them from their customers. Or end support on a product line because they chose to not patch it leaving the entire line of products vulnerable to attacks. Even Microsoft will step up and patch an end of life OS like XP or Win7 to protect its customers. It’s just good business.
That QR code is ridiculous! How about we all wear tshirts with QR codes on them. We should have QR codes on our cars so that you can only drive it if you have the shirt on. Or how about you have the camera be smart enough to know the difference between a closed door and an open door.
How about some Siri support?
Who ? Get an android. Crapple is crap
Geez, Wyze. Instead of creating goofy products like this to sell more V3 cams, why don't you fix what's broken with your existing products, like making RTSP standard and reliable with your cams? This is completely unnecessary. You don't need a HD cam for a garage door opener. You can use a crappy 720 for that (if that's something you really want).
Also, most modern garage door openers are already smart, integrating with Google, Siri, Alexa, etc. with the ability to open/close your door anywhere in the world. If you don't have a smart garage door, don't do what this product is selling... it's way overkill. A QR code for your garage door? Are you kidding me? Wyze needs a massive QR code plastered on the inside of your garage door to determine whether or not it's open. This is hilarious.
If all you're trying to do is determine if you left your GD open, pick up a $16 Aqara sensor and call it a day. The talking head claims that they fall off and the batteries fail. Maybe he's just doing it wrong. Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol and press for 30 seconds. It will stick like glue forever. As for the battery, you can monitor that through the app. I have door sensors all over my house and they are absolutely reliable and the batteries last a long time.
Overkill, Wyze. This is a weird, obsolete solution, with little integration outside the Wyze app.
Idk I prefer to have the qr code. It's one less thing that can go wrong since I could probably print one myself vs reaching out to customer service and asking the company for a replacement. I have MyQ garage opener and I had to initiate a claim to get a sensor replaced and they had to go through all the prompts of factory resetting, recalibrating and restarting my wifi when I already did so. Then I had to wait a week to have it replaced.
Wyze is for sure working smarter, not harder. Reusing their own cameras for another product. Fucking genius if you ask me. People are going to buy it. Me? Probably not...yet. Once they integrate it with Amazon Alexa I will.
FIX YOUR AI
Unfortunately if you want Amazon Key delivery. Wyze garage door is already obsolete. Amazon only works with MyQ key deliveries. Thanks wyze but no thanks . No one asked for this.
Wyze has one of the most whiney user bases imaginable.
Tired of new products when you don’t fulfill our needs like HomeKit support.
Coming from an Apple user, you’re wasting a whole lot of time and money if you’re building your smart home around HomeKit.
@@roguegeek I disagree. Switched from an Amazon based home and couldn’t be happier.
@@zbellman Your original statement contradicts your claimed happiness.
@@roguegeek It doesn't. Just because one company doesn't support HomeKit, doesn't mean Im unhappy with HomeKit. Theres a real missed opportunity here though. For example, My current garage door opener shows up on my CarPlay home screen when I get into my neighborhood. With Wyze, ill have to get my phone out and open their app to interact with the garage door, making it less convenient than just using the remote that came with it.
You need to sell a 2'x2' QR code so people can mount the camera at the back wall not at the garage opener.
