How Do I Connect Wyze Devices to Home Assistant?

Problem Description

You want to add your Wyze cameras plugs and sensors to Home Assistant for local control and automations but there is no official Wyze integration in Home Assistant. Wyze devices require a community-maintained HACS integration that uses the unofficial Wyze API.

Why This Happens in Real Homes

There's no official Wyze integration for Home Assistant — Wyze uses a proprietary cloud API — so you rely on a community integration installed through HACS. That means it can break when Wyze changes their API, and it typically needs your Wyze login (sometimes with a key or 2FA workaround).

Start by installing HACS, then add a maintained community Wyze integration and authenticate with your account. Expect occasional breakage after Wyze-side changes; for cameras specifically, many people run the Wyze Bridge (RTSP) alongside it, since the cloud integration exposes sensors and switches more reliably than live video.

Symptoms

• Wyze not appearing in Home Assistant integrations list
• HACS Wyze integration shows authentication failed error
• Wyze cameras not streaming in Home Assistant dashboard
• Wyze devices showing unavailable after Home Assistant update
• Cannot find Wyze when searching Add Integration menu
• Two-factor authentication blocking Wyze integration setup

Recognize these? Here's what usually causes it.

Common Causes

• No official Home Assistant integration exists for Wyze products
• Wyze uses proprietary cloud API that changes without notice
• Two-factor authentication on Wyze account blocking API access
• Wyze API key expired or revoked by Wyze security systems
• Home Assistant version incompatible with current Wyze HACS plugin
• Wyze changed their API breaking the community integration temporarily

Tools & Requirements

Step-by-Step Solution

1

Install HACS in Home Assistant

HACS is required because Wyze integration is community-maintained. In Home Assistant go to Settings then Add-ons then Add-on Store. Search for HACS or install manually following hacs.xyz instructions. After installation restart Home Assistant completely. HACS icon should appear in the sidebar after restart. If HACS was already installed skip to next step.

Add Wyze Integration via HACS

Open HACS from Home Assistant sidebar. Click Integrations tab then click the plus button. Search for Wyze in the integration search. If Wyze does not appear click the three dots menu. Select Custom Repositories and add https://github.com/SecKatie/ha-wyzeapi as Integration type. After adding the repository search for Wyze again and click Download.

3

Configure Wyze Credentials

Restart Home Assistant after downloading the Wyze integration. Go to Settings then Devices and Services then Add Integration. Search for Wyze and select it. Enter your Wyze account email and password. If you have two-factor authentication you may need to generate an API key. Select which device types to import such as cameras plugs and sensors.

4

Fix Connection Issues

If devices show unavailable Wyze may have changed their API. Check the GitHub repository SecKatie/ha-wyzeapi for open issues. Community patches usually appear within days of Wyze API changes. Update the integration through HACS when new versions release. For cameras consider enabling RTSP in Wyze app for local streaming. RTSP cameras can be added as generic cameras independent of the API.
