Hot lightbulb could melt the exposed dangling wire. That's what jumps out at me. LED lightbulb probably not an issue with getting too hot.

Great idea. A socket could also be placed in the home to turn on a lamp that is controlled by the Wyze Cam (as ithe can up to 5 sockets). This way a "visual" indicator can also be seen in the home for the hearing impaired or elderly.

Very interesting concept If you're not worried about looks!

great idea! I wish you could ship this to Canada!

When you stick something to a fixture, like the clips, you should use isopropyl alcohol to clean the area and provide a better bond.

Would this work with the Wyze Cam V3 Pro?

Any idea when these will be back in stock?

Would it work with wyze v2 cameras, isn’t it the same power connection

What is the size of the socket ? I have a enclosed wall coach light and it has limited space.

i have a philips smart bulb that needs constant power so i can control it through its own app. can i install this lamp socket and not have it affect the power to the bulb and just have it powering the wyze cam? thanks

I thought the Wyze Socket was a clever idea until used in practicality. I wanted a Wyze camera installed in a particular closet for security purposes. However, there are 2 glaring flaws: 1. I do not want the light bulb on all the time just to have the Wyze camera recording. I know I can manually turn the bulb on/off from within the Wyze app, but that is extremely inconvenient as I enter and leave the closet for just a few seconds sometimes. This issue would be fine if the motion detection worked correctly in all lighting situations, but it does not. That brings us to issues 2A and 2B. 2A. The motion sensing to control the light is bizarre. If the room is very dark it won't sense motion because the camera can't see anything to detect motion with! So it doesn't turn on the light when you enter the room when it is very dark. The work-around I've had to use is to turn on my phone's flashlight for a second or two and move around (lol). This causes the Wyze Socket sensor to finally detect my motion because it can actually see me. Obviously inconvenient and stupid. The camera doesn't detect motion in near darkness. Big flaw imo. 2B. If the room is too bright (not super bright, just medium brightness), the Socket won't turn on the light either because it seems to determine the room is bright enough not to need any extra light. This is annoying because I DO need extra light. So I again have fool the camera by closing the door partially-- just enough to make the room dark enough for the sensor to decide it is time to turn on the light when my motion is detected in the room. But I can't close the door TOO MUCH or the room will become too dark and then I have created issue 2A above. In conclusion, there are two extreme situations (room too bright [2A] or room too dark [2B]) in which the light will not turn on. I want to be able to use the light switch on the wall to control the light, without it affecting the status of the Wyze camera's power. Obviously you can't do that because it will turn the camera off every time you turn the light off using the wall light switch. It turns out I just wanted a way to provide power to my Wyze camera which is not dependent on light on/off state, but I can't do that with this device when the wall light switch is off. So this device doesn't work for my needs, and it seems it has quite a few oddities/flaws that would cause people annoyances/difficulties with certain basic setups and usage.

How does this work with motion activated light bulbs?

Ship to Canada?

This is overall a great idea, however, the cords are getting me seeing it dangle there

Can you use the sockets without the camera?

I cant connect my wyze cam pan v3 to this, there's no option for it??

You also have to do a few firmware updates to get this to work.

While I think the concept is pretty neat (I am considering buying perhaps 2), I think the design is poorly executed. Majority of porch/garage lights I've always seen or had have been mounted in the opposite direction (light up instead of down). Whats to stop water/moisture from getting in around the USB outlet/input? The other issue being I just purchased 5 v3 cams & the cord is disapointingly short from the camera to the extension, so much so that it's almost like a design flaw. First thing I thought of seeing how short said cord is, is what's to stop someone from just disconnecting it & stealing the whole damn thing (providing you don't/can't mount it high enough & securely enough)? On that thought what's to stop someone from reaching up & pulling the plug from the lamp socket itself, providing its accessible?

instead of 2, I think we need more clips so the cable is not dangling inside the lamp

Ours didn't last a week. Power to the camera is fine but tried 5 different lights and still don't work

This means I have to keep 3 other lights on at day time when one of the four outdoor socket has the camera installed. Or buy four of these with camera on one. That's extra $30 to power camera. Drilling it is...

it will be great if you add this product on Amazon to be delivered to Canada.

That's a great idea. But solor panel better option.

How do you check the WiFi strength using the wyze app???

They just need a motion and light (dust to dawn ) line with a sensor at the end to turn the light on or off , while the camera can still have power either way (of course if someone turn off the switch the poof there goes your power source )

Is it compatible with the Wyze Cam V2 with some specific extension cord ?

Should have built-in powerline networking for people who have poor wifi coverage outdoors.

The bulb automatically turns on and off?

Does this work with the spotlight attachment?

Does all 5 sockets need to be on the same light switch?

Make it all one piece

how is a wire coming out of a decorative light attractive? Can you define Wyze version of "attractive"?

It would be nice to have a 220/240 volt version for your international fans... Actually the same is true for all your other products..

I ALREADY HAVE CAMERA INSTALLED I JUST TO INSTALL THE LAMP TO THE APP AND THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT

They should make it retractable.

Can the bulb stay on?

I don't see a place to add it inside the app. There is no "Lamp socket" to add for controlling or scheduling

Need to buy some Wyze stock

Would be nice if you could actually turn off your porch light without losing current to the camera

Can the camera still be on but the bulb remain off in the app?

I like the Concept but, lets just say you put this on your front porch. Somebody could easily see the wire reach for it and disable your camera, then take the camera that's right next to it after the power is out

Wyze forgot they made lightbulbs. 💡

1st!!! I need a few of these!

Stop making new products and ship to Canada first. You guys treat us like north koreans

Looks very tacky

Very tacky! ☹☹☹

Meh, Not the best idea. Some people have kids that love to go around the house turning everything off. Oops turned off the front porch light we don’t have security. Know if you guys actually took some time to create products that are useful like a smart switch and a smart outlet that would be nice. Or how about fix your cameras so they don’t randomly disconnect from your app after six months of using them and cannot be re-add it to your account. Or how about making good with people that bought your first generation oh monitoring only to have it discontinued three months later :-)
