BUG: Turning off a camera's notifications doesn't actually turn them off. #1313

Describe the bug

Using home assistant to turn off notifications for a camera does not actually turn them off. After turning it off in HA, the toggle shows as off inside the Wyze app but notifications still happen until the toggle is turned on and off again in the Wyze app. I don't know if this is something that can be fixed (perhaps the API has a separate state for the UI and the behaviour itself?) or if it's a bug at Wyze's end.

hmm, could be a wyze issue?

We're setting P1 to adjust the notifications, but they may be setting another value for the v4? Could you try accessing this api endpoint on your bridge before and after toggling the notification option in the wyze app to see if another P value is changing?

Ok so with my camera called "Garden Cam", it seems like switching "switch.garden_cam_notifications" does work. But switching "switch.wyze_cam_garden_cam_notifications" doesn't work (P1 changes to 2 which seems to show as Off in the app but allows notifications).

What's the purpose in those "Diagnostic" switches?

mrlt8 commented 3 months ago

hmm, I'm not actually sure why you have the power/motion/notification switches listed twice.. Motion and Notifications should be listed once under Diagnostic - reason being that they were more advanced features that may not be used as often as the other toggles.

I'll try digging around the wyze app to see if they're using another api endpoint to toggle the notifications on the latest app update.

How weird. All of my cameras have these twice, and the top one changes P1 to 1 (and back to 0) while the bottom one has the additional "wyze_cam" in the name and switches it to 2 (and back to 0).

rozza-m commented 2 months ago

Closing this, don't know why these additional sensors exist but note for anyone reading this: don't use the switches with the additional "wyze_cam" in the name.

With a new install (but the same cameras) I'm still getting this issue, but now I don't have the non-diagnostic switch.

I only have "notifications" in the Diagnostic area, not the main Controls area
Turning notifications OFF actually changes P1 to "2"
This reports as "off" in HA and on the app but allows notifications.

I'm not that familiar with how HA works with MQTT but I think this is the setup topic? If so this could be the problem?

However, manually sending "0" to wyzebridge/garden-cam/notifications/set doesn't stick, only 1 and 2 actually cause P1 and wyzebridge/garden-cam/notifications to change

@mrlt8 any thoughts on this? I have an automation to turn notifications on when I leave the house, currently I don't have a way to do it without manually opening the wyze app 😞
