Device Status Request #32

Open Haacker opened 5 years ago

Haacker commented 5 years ago

According to the Wyze Support page, if you are using thier app you can go into the settings for a sensor and request a device status, which will give you up to date info like Battery Level, without having to trigger the sensor (open the door/window).

If you are using these sensors to build out an alarm system, being able to proactively get the battery level is a must, especially since some windows may not be open for very long time periods. In the case where a windows is not opened for more than a year (basement window for example) the sensor battary could go dead and you would not have any advance notice.

Is it possible to add either a service that can be called to get the status from a sensor so that you could automate device status update on some schedule?

I'm interested in this too. These sensors would be absolutely perfect If someone can come up with a way to let us poll/verify the sensors.

Huh this is very interesting. I'm not the one who originally reverse engineered the protocol but I can ask the person who did that to take a look.
