No apps to configure, no accounts to wrangle. A WiSpyAlert sensor plus a Wiz smart bulb — camera-free presence detection that has your porch light reacting before anyone reaches the door.

The bulb is optional. Any Wiz WiFi bulb (~$13) enables the porch-light auto-response, but the sensor and network features work without it.
§ 02 / Setup

Two days, mostly hands-off.

Day 1 — Setup & Learning
1

Set up your Wiz bulb

Screw the Wiz bulb into your porch light (or wherever you want it) and use the Wiz app to connect it to your WiFi. About five minutes.

2

Plug in WiSpyAlert

Place WiSpyAlert in a front window, plug it in, and connect it to your WiFi using the setup wizard. The device enters learning mode automatically.

3

Wait 24 hours

WiSpyAlert spends the next day learning your RF environment — your family's phones, your neighbors' devices, the regular delivery cadence. This builds the baseline. No action needed from you.

Why 24 hours? The learning window is what makes detection smart. It builds a complete picture of what's normal so it only flags genuinely unusual approach patterns.
Day 2 — Connect Your Light
4

Open Manage Lights

Learning complete. In your WiSpyAlert dashboard, click Manage Lights, then Discover Lights to find your Wiz bulb.
