Wyze Works with Alexa!

We're excited to announce
Wyze Cam v2 & Wyze Cam Pan
now work with Alexa
Since launching Wyze Cam we've been amazed and inspired by the creative ways our community has been using our cameras. And humbled by stories of ways our cameras have made life better or easier.

We've also heard many ideas for how we can make our cameras even better. One of the top feature requests we receive is for Wyze to work with Alexa. We heard you loud and clear and are excited to announce it's here!

We hope this makes our cameras an even more fun and useful tool. We invite you to continue to
share the ways you use your cameras and give us your feedback or ideas.

I also want to say thank you - we couldn't do this without you. We work hard to make great products and offer them at the lowest possible price. You can help by telling your friends, family, and neighbors about us, and we look forward to more great things to come!

What is Alexa?


Alexa is the voice-controlled service that seamlessly communicates with Wyze Cam v2 and Wyze Cam Pan through any Alexa-enabled device connected to a screen.

Alexa lets you use your voice to control Wyze Cam v2 and Wyze Cam Pan by speaking commands to Alexa.

Add voice control to any certified “Works with Amazon Alexa” product by linking accounts to Alexa-enabled devices. Then, just ask Alexa to show you the front door, baby's room, or anything else your camera is viewing.

How Do I Get Started?

  1. Set up your Wyze camera in the Wyze app
  2. Update your camera's firmware to the latest version (via the Wyze app)
  3. Enable the Wyze skill in your Alexa account using the Alexa app, asking Alexa to "enable Wyze skill," or through alexa.amazon.com. You will be prompted to enter your Wyze username & password to authorize Alexa to connect to your camera(s)
  4. Go to your Alexa-enabled device and say "Alexa, discover my devices"
  5. Say any of the following to view your Wyze camera's stream:
    • "Alexa, show me [Camera Name]"
    • "Alexa, show my [Camera Name]"
    • "Alexa, show me the [Camera Name]"
