The more smart home devices, the more you are going to need a smart hub that can act as a centralized spot that would link all Wyze smart home devices. From here on you can then decide to automate a sequence using your smart hub. For instance, you can set the automation for when you lock the door, the smart hub would turn off your living room lights while putting your thermostat on Eco mode.

Most Wyze products use Bluetooth, Wifi, and IFTTT applets for communication protocol. Although Wyze products cannot DIRECTLY connect with the Hubitat platform, you can still connect it, and hundreds of apps. To do this, you have to create custom applets to control Wyze devices from Hubitat through IFTTT.

Apart from that, they can also be integrated, or connected to third-party devices for communication. So is Wyze part of these brands? In this article, we would be looking into this, how you can best integrate them, and what other Smart Hubs are compatible with the company.

Hubitat Capabilities with Wyze

Although Wyze still has its smart hub setup, some customers may already have a Hubitat Hub on standby or are willing to get one. Hubitat is a smart home hub, or an automation ecosystem that doesn’t make use of Wifi, or the internet for automation. This means that controlling your smart home can be done locally therefore you’re safe from data theft or hacking.

Additionally, Hubitat doesn’t need the internet to function, but it can be connected to the internet for third-party integration using an ethernet cable. Just like most smart hubs, Hubitat gives its customers multiple connections, and communication protocols such as ZigBee, Z-wave, LAN, and cloud-based communications.

If this is done right, you can even go as much as getting your Wyze Cam feed on your Hubitat. IFTTT acts as a mediator between the Hubitat Hub, and the Wyze device you want to control. In the next section, we are going to be looking at how you can connect your Wyze to IFTTT, as well as your Hubitat too. 

How Do I Add Wyze To Hubitat Using IFTTT Applets?

If you want to control or connect your Wyze to your Hubitat, you have to use IFTTT to link the device and the smart hub. IFTTT is an interface that allows you to use tiny programs called applets to trigger and execute actions. These actions can be triggered from Hubitat to control your Wyze product. To do this, you need to first connect your Wyze account to IFTTT.
