Wyze Native (Home Assistant)

Native (cloud) Home Assistant integration for Wyze cameras and related devices.

This project ports the relevant cloud API logic from docker-wyze-bridge into a Home Assistant custom component. It focuses on safe, async, pure-Python operation inside Home Assistant.

What You Get

• switch:
  • Camera power (privacy mode behavior depends on model; implemented as cloud power switch)
  • A few PID-backed recording toggles (only exposed when the camera reports the PID)
• sensor:
  • Connection, WiFi details, firmware version, and other diagnostics
• binary_sensor:
  • Best-effort motion (based on thumbnail timestamps)
• camera:
  • Snapshot/thumbnail (no native P2P streaming)
  • Optional stream source via a user-provided RTSP/Go2RTC URL template

Important Limitations

• This integration does not implement Wyze native streaming (P2P/TUTK/Wyze WebRTC signaling).
• Snapshot images are only available when Wyze provides a thumbnail URL (typically event-based). If a camera has no events/thumbnails, Home Assistant will show a placeholder image.
• Firmware update checks and remote firmware upgrades are not supported via the public cloud endpoints used here.

Installation

HACS (Recommended)

1. Open HACS in Home Assistant.
2. Add this repository as a custom repository:
   • Repository: joeblack2k/wyze-native
   • Category: Integration
3. Install Wyze Native.
4. Restart Home Assistant.

Manual

1. Copy custom_components/wyze_native into your Home Assistant config/custom_components/.
2. Restart Home Assistant.

Configuration

1. Home Assistant → Settings → Devices & services → Add integration → Wyze Native
2. Enter:
   • Email
   • Password
   • Key ID
   • API Key

Optional Streaming (RTSP -> WebRTC)

If your camera firmware supports RTSP and you enabled RTSP in the Wyze app, you can provide a stream URL template:

Home Assistant → Wyze Native → Options → Stream URL template

Supported placeholders:

• {mac}: device MAC
• {nickname}: Wyze nickname
• {name}: slugified nickname (URL-safe)
• {model}: product model
• {ip}: local IP as reported by Wyze cloud

Examples:

• Direct RTSP:
  • rtsp://USER:PASS@{ip}/live
• Via go2rtc (recommended for WebRTC dashboards):
  • rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/{name}

For WebRTC dashboards, use go2rtc plus a WebRTC dashboard card.

Debug / Reverse Engineering Tools

The tools/ folder includes scripts to scrape and diff Wyze cloud payloads for research:

• tools/wyze_scrape.py
• tools/wyze_diff_scrapes.py
• tools/HOWTO.md (recommended workflow + how to file issues with PID diffs)

These tools require your Wyze developer keys and will query Wyze cloud endpoints. Do not publish scrape output publicly.
