1. Install Dependencies
pip3 install wyze-sdk

Commands
List Cameras
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py cameras
List All Devices
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py devices
Get Camera Status
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py status "Garage"
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py status # All cameras
Get Snapshot/Thumbnail
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
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py events
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py events --camera "Garage" --hours 12 --limit 10

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/

python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py on "Garage"
python3 ~/.claude/skills/wyze-skill/wyze_skill.py off "Garage"

All commands return JSON:
{
"cameras": [

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:
- Flash RTSP firmware via Wyze app (if available for your model)
- Get RTSP URL from camera settings
- Use VLC or ffmpeg to capture frames:
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.
