What this skill does
# Wyze Camera Skill
Control and monitor Wyze cameras. View events, check status, turn cameras on/off, and download event clips.
## Setup
### 1. Install Dependencies
```bash
pip3 install wyze-sdk
```
### 2. Authenticate
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py setup YOUR_EMAIL YOUR_PASSWORD
```
If you have 2FA enabled:
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py verify YOUR_CODE
```
### 3. Verify Setup
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py cameras
```
## Commands
### List Cameras
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py cameras
```
### List All Devices
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py devices
```
### Get Camera Status
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py status "Garage"
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py status # All cameras
```
### Get Snapshot/Thumbnail
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py snapshot "Garage"
```
**Note:** Wyze API provides thumbnails from the last motion event rather than live snapshots. For live streaming, consider enabling RTSP on your camera.
### Check Recent Events
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py events
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py events --camera "Garage" --hours 12 --limit 10
```
### Download Event Video
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py download
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py download --camera "Garage"
```
Saves video to `~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/snapshots/`
### Turn Camera On/Off
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py on "Garage"
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py off "Garage"
```
## Output
All commands return JSON:
```json
{
"cameras": [
{
"name": "Garage Cam",
"mac": "AABBCCDD1122",
"model": "WYZE_CAKP2JFUS",
"is_online": true
}
],
"count": 1
}
```
## Limitations
- **Live Snapshots:** Wyze API doesn't support on-demand live snapshots. Use RTSP firmware for live streaming.
- **Event Storage:** Event video clips require Cam Plus subscription for cloud storage.
- **Rate Limits:** Wyze API has rate limits; avoid excessive polling.
## RTSP for Live Streaming
Some Wyze cameras support RTSP firmware for direct video streaming:
1. Flash RTSP firmware via Wyze app (if available for your model)
2. Get RTSP URL from camera settings
3. Use VLC or ffmpeg to capture frames:
```bash
ffmpeg -i "rtsp://USER:PASS@CAMERA_IP/live" -vframes 1 snapshot.jpg
```
## Security Notes
- Credentials stored locally in `~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/credentials.json`
- Tokens auto-refresh when possible
- Password stored only if token refresh fails repeatedly
## Troubleshooting
### "Not authenticated" Error
Run setup again with your credentials.
### 2FA Required
Complete the verify step with your 2FA code.
### Rate Limited
Wait a few minutes and try again. Avoid rapid repeated calls.
### Camera Not Found
Camera names are partial matches (case-insensitive). Run `cameras` to see exact names.
