Are Wyze Going to be Compatible with Matter?

Wyze has said that their current Wyze devices can't be upgraded to work with Matter. Right now, Matter only works with a few types of devices, and cameras aren't included yet. More devices, like cameras, will be added later for proper Wyze Matter compatibility.

Troubleshooting Tips

Action Details / Tips
Check HomeKit Compatibility Ensure your Wyze device supports HomeKit (Cam, Bulb, Plug, etc.). Verify in the manual or on the Wyze website.
Update Software Update Wyze app (App Store / Google Play) and iOS to the latest version. Ensure HomeKit is set up correctly.
Verify HomeKit Setup Link Wyze account to HomeKit via the Wyze app. Check Home app for devices. Re-add using QR code or manual code if missing.
Update Wyze Device Firmware Update firmware via Wyze app. Confirm you’re using the correct HomeKit QR code.
Wi-Fi Network Use a 2.4 GHz network (Wyze does not support 5 GHz). Ensure network is stable; restart router if needed.
Reset & Re-add Device Perform a factory reset if unresponsive. Remove and re-add in Home app.
Restart Devices Power cycle Wyze device (off → 10 sec → on). Restart iPhone/iPad.
Check for Conflicts Temporarily disconnect other smart home systems (Alexa, Google Home) that may interfere.
Permissions & Logs Ensure HomeKit has location and Bluetooth permissions. Check Home app and Wyze app logs for errors.
Reinstall Wyze App Uninstall and reinstall app to clear configuration glitches, then re-add devices to HomeKit.

Wyze Cameras for Smart Home Security

  • Through the past few years, Wyze has been taking gig steps in creating a powerful camera lineup. Their first 4k camera, Wyze Cam Pan v4, is one proof for it.

  • Users can experience 360° panning, 180° tilt, and advanced AI tracking that can follow people, pets, or vehicles automatically. Also, all their cameras support night vision, two-way audio, and customizable motion alerts.

  • On the software side, Wyze has released firmware and app updates that improve stability, security, and usability. Features like VerifiedView embed authentication data directly into camera footage, protecting your recordings from unauthorized access.

  • The Wyze app now includes a horizontal event timeline, better motion detection zone controls, and dark mode, making it easier to review footage and manage multiple cameras from one interface.

  • Wyze cameras have also advanced AI-powered smart features. The Descriptive Alerts function, available through Cam Plus or Pro services, provides clear notifications about what’s happening rather than generic motion alerts.

Conclusion

Homebridge was a bit of a workaround, but it only took a few minutes to set up with the AddToHomeKit solution, and it worked perfectly. Some Wyze things, like Wyze Cam, Plug, and lock can work directly with HomeKit with this amazing solution. The other option is by using a thing called the ATH Bridge and HOOBS, which you just plug in, and it makes everything work together.
