ha-wyzeapi VS haaska

The HomeAssistant wormhole is a deep one, and the learning curve is steep. But it's definitely worth all the pain. I currently have all our lights, doors, blinds, robot vacuum, tv's, and 3d printer integrated with HA. Looks like there's already Wyze device support for HomeAssistant as well if you wanted to start before upgrading your devices, to see how you like it. Also, I don't know much about Wyze devices, but a majority of internet connected smart devices utilize a ESP32 board or similar. You can usually flash them and run open firmware such as WLED. I currently run a few of those boards with DHT22 temp/humidity sensors to get the temp readings you saw. Like I said, the wormhole is deep, the learning curve is steep, but I think it is by far the best option when it comes to smart homes.

As for home automation, I think you meant home assistant, if not correct me. I found this through a quick search: https://github.com/JoshuaMulliken/ha-wyzeapi. Might be helpful.

I haven't had much experience with it but you could give https://github.com/JoshuaMulliken/ha-wyzeapi which is an add on for home assistant which allows you to unofficially control / view cameras. Of course if wyze goes offline or your network goes offline this extension won't work as it's cloudbased.

Gotta love open source, here ya go. Seems like it'll integrate with the cameras and lights, and at least normal doors. If there as an API for it, there's probably and HA integration for it.

I would recommend checking out a few YouTube videos on how to setup home assistant with a raspberry pi. Once that is setup, you can use the Wyze integration ( https://github.com/JoshuaMulliken/ha-wyzeapi) to setup some native stuff but you will need to install the custom RTSP software (https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026245231-Wyze-Cam-RTSP) on the camera and set it up with your home assistant.

I'm using the user created Wyze API for HA, and it's great! But still doesn't work when the cloud is unresponsive. (https://github.com/JoshuaMulliken/ha-wyzeapi)

I've just re-done the whole setup process from scratch, this time using this method, but it's the exact same result - the sensor is recognised as a contact sensor in the Alexa app, but it can't be chosen as a routine trigger. I've also set it up through the North American endpoint, with the same end result...

For example I use haaska to connect Alexa to my HA instance without the need for a cloud bridge service like Nabu Casa. This is not a malicious add on, it just exposes HomeAssistant commands as a REST API that is easy for Alexa/AWS Lambda to interface with. But when I open my instance up to the internet anyone can find my HA instance and start sending bogus commands to that API to try and trick it into leaking data.
