How to Connect Wyze Cameras to HomeKit

Wyze cameras usually do not appear in Apple Home by themselves. SmartRTSP gives Wyze owners a simple path: add the camera to SmartRTSP, confirm it works, then use the Mac app for Apple Home.

Recommended workflow

Install SmartRTSP first, then connect Wyze to Apple Home

Start by adding your Wyze camera to SmartRTSP. If it plays correctly in the app, you are ready to use the Mac app for the Apple Home workflow.
