I bought this to provide power to a non-Wyze outdoor security camera. I tried another brand first and the socket was too tall and would not fit in my recessed light fixture with a nano leaf smart bulb. The Wyze appears to be the shortest one I could find and fits. It seems to provide uninterrupted power to the camera without issue. The smart bulb allows me to switch off the light without turning off the power to the socket camera.

Update: after physically rearranging my 3 sockets, moving the one with the most recent MAC address to be directly connected to my v3 cam, the entire group have been working flawlessly! Updating to 5 stars. I bought the first one to power a new V3 camera off a garage mounted porch light, and for that, it works well. Discovered that it was “smart”, and could operate additional units as slaves, awesome! Bought two more to go in my front entry porch lights! Set the sunrise and sunset schedule. They turn off in the morning just fine, but fail to come on at night, until cycle the porch lights power completely! Using the app to cycle just the sockets doesn’t fix it However, even though the socket loses its lunch to power the light bulb, it still provides power to the V3 camera! Very odd behavior. So, I could do away with any scheduling, and just leave my porch lights on 24x7, but it sure would be nice if the scheduling feature actually worked consistently.

It turns out that the original V3 USB cord does not have data connections on it so that's why the socket was not being recognized by the camera. This was not written anywhere in the instructions but is buried in the FAQ somewhere on the site. The poorly trained support in the Philippines apparently are not aware of this either and so I only saw it in the reviews on amazon! I guess this is partially on me but why would they give you a slightly shorter power cord with this package and then have a disabled cord on the camera itself that has the longer cord? It's like they're setting the customer up to fail. At any rate, it works now about the same as all their other products - which is pretty good for the money but not great. My original review is below: I already had my V3 cam connected to a front porch via a $2 adapter I bought from Home Depot, but I thought it'd be nice to put a bulb in there too and have it come on when motion is detected or at night if I want to get more light. So I got this thing, screwed it in and plugged in the camera and so far so good until I tired to set it up. The router is literally 7 feet away from both the camera and the light socket and the camera has been working just fine but this thing does NOT connect. I have followed everything including a factory reset and it still does not work. I contacted WYZE and it was an overseas person who had zero knowledge beyond poorly reading the same things that are on the website. Given that I don't want a light bulb on 24/7, I'll likely return this and save the $15 with the home depot socket adapter.

This little inexpensive device is a fantastic way to install a camera where a plug-in is not handy, or if you just don't want to deal with a bunch of wires. Installation Installation is literally as easy as screwing in a light bulb. Remove the existing bulb, screw in the socket adapter, then screw the light bulb back in. There is a USB outlet for your camera. It's designed to work with the WyzeCam v3, and the USB plug fits snug to maintain weather resistance. Connecting I have installed two of these, both with the camera. Install the app, power the camera and follow the prompts. You'll need to scan a bar code from your phone, and press a button on the back of the camera (which can be a bit hard to reach if you've already mounted the camera). The whole process takes 2 - 5 minutes. You do need to have a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection where you install the camera. Usage The light bulb can still work the same as any light bulb, but to take advantage of the device and camera, you'll need to leave the switch on all the time, and control the bulb with the app. You can schedule it to turn on/off at specific times, or you can have it turn on/off at dusk/dawn (which works flawlessly), or you can manually control it with a tap in the app. Durability I can't speak to cold or snow, but my first socket adapter has lasted through a year of incredible heat (120º), extreme UV exposure, severe sandstorms, massive amounts of super-fine dust, and the occasional thunderstorm without any problem. It is somewhat protected as it is installed under an eave, but it is otherwise exposed (there is no encasement of the bulb - it is fully exposed). It has lasted beautifully. I've had 0 problems with it in a year. Conclusion Overall, I highly recommend this device.

I bought this Power Adapter to power my Wyze outdoor camera using an exterior light fixture, and it works perfectly! The setup was as easy as changing a light bulb, and I’m so impressed with how well it functions. The Dusk to Dawn scheduling was an unexpected bonus, it automatically turns my lights on at sunset and off at sunrise, so I don’t have to worry about leaving the light on all the time, and it’s already helping save on my electricity bills! The USB connector is also weatherproof, which gives me peace of mind for long-term outdoor use. Overall, this is a fantastic solution for powering my Wyze camera and improving my outdoor lighting setup. Highly recommended!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This will work for V2 and OG cameras to pass power through for camera, but motion light operation will not work. The light will always be on, I knew this when I purchased it, I just needed the receptacle for usb and will use a remote operated bulb. Since this goes device goes to a switch, I recommend getting a switch stop as seen in pic, so someone doesn’t accidentally shut your camera off. You can see I wanted my camera on the white beam to blend in with Wyze white camera color. As always Wyze is impressive, I’ve had 7 of their cameras for almost 10 years now and with 5 of them outdoors and they’re still working great.

Follow-up review: Plain and simple, this device does not work. Attempted to install the camera together with the Wyze Socket. First of all the light switch need to be on all the time in order to power the camera. Which means that the electric light bulb also stays in 24/7 and this did not work for my particular situation. Attempted to just connect the Wyze Socket to power up the porch light either motion sensor or dawn to dusk. This also did not work because the Wyze Socket needs the camera connected to it. Also, the Wyze app would not recognize the Wyze Socket with or without the camera nor could I get it to connect to my internet. Spent hours scouring the internet for information, and it appears that this device does not work as advertised. In any case, the camera does work perfectly, so I will install this camera in a different location minus the Wyze Socket. I am still a fan of Wyze products, but can only say that this specific device is not worth the frustration. For years, my friends recommended Wyze products, but I was hesitant in pulling the trigger. Finally, I bit the bullets and purchase a couple of cameras and have been sold on Wyze ever since. This plug is a unique idea, Not only can I connect a camera and not have a mile of unsightly cord hanging on the wall, but it also turns your regular lamp bulb into a dawn to dusk or motion detection. The uses of this plug are great if you are a neat freak such as I am. Highly recommend this company but not the Wyze Socket.

The Wyze socket works with the Wyze 3 camera. It doesn’t work if you screw it into an outdoor motion dector light. Needs to be a regular light socket for the camera to work.

No where on this product page it is written that its 120v input socket and you shipped it to EU where electric system runs on 220v I submitted return, please send me socket which is supported on 220v systems.

Si sirve.

I have a Toucan camera and it's original socket is broken, and there is no replacement part for it. I found this item and plan to give it a try. It totally works and I'm pretty happy with it. It is not cheap though.

Funciona muy bien y fácil instalación ya que va al socket y llego en muy buen estado
