Get started with Wyze Locks
Learn how to connect and control your Wyze locks with the Seam API.

Overview
Seam provides a universal API to connect and control many brands of locks. This guide provides a rapid introduction to connecting and controlling your Wyze locks using the Seam API. To learn more about other device brands supported by the Seam API, such as Yale, Schlage, Kwikset and August, head over to our integration page.
1 — Install Seam SDK
Seam provides client libraries for many languages, such as JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, and others, as well as a Postman collection and OpenAPI spec.
npm i seam
Once installed, sign-up for Seam to get your API key, and export it as an environment variable:
$ export SEAM_API_KEY=seam_test2ZTo_0mEYQW2TvNDCxG5Atpj85Ffw
2 — Link Your Wyze with Seam
To control your Wyze locks via the Seam API, you must first authorize your Seam workspace against your Wyze account. To do so, Seam providesConnect Webviews: pre-built UX flows that walk you through authorizing your application to control Wyze locks.
Obtain a Wyze API Key and Wyze API Key ID
You will need create a Wyze API Key for your Wyze account. To see how to create a Wyze API Key for your Wyze account, click here.
Request a Connect Webview
from seam import Seam
seam = Seam()
webview = seam.connect_webviews.create(accepted_providers=["wyze"])
assert webview.login_successful is False
# Send the webview URL to your user
print(webview.url)
Authorize Your Workspace
Navigate to the URL returned by the Webview object. Since you are using a sandbox workspace, complete the login flow by entering the Wyze sandbox test accountcredentials below:
Wyze API Key ID: ABC123ABC
Wyze API Key ABC123ABC
email: [email protected]
password: 1234

Confirm the Connect Webview was successful by querying its status:
updated_webview = seam.connect_webviews.get(connect_webview_id: webview.connect_webview_id)
assert updated_webview.login_successful # true
3 — Retrieve Wyze Devices
After a Wyze account is linked with Seam, you can retrieve its devices.
all_locks = seam.locks.list()
some_lock = all_locks[0]
assert some_lock.properties["battery_level"] is True
print(some_lock)
4 — Locking & Unlocking a Door
Next, you can perform the basic action of locking and unlocking the door.
Lock a Door
Returns a pending action result
POST /locks/lock_door HTTP/1.1
Host:
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 20
{
"device_id": "text"
}
Returns a pending action result
No content
Unlock a door
POST
https://connect.getseam.com/locks/unlock_door
Request Body
device_id
String
# lock the door
seam.locks.lock_door(device_id: some_lock.device_id)
updated_lock = seam.locks.get(device_id: some_lock.device_id)
assert updated_lock.properties["locked"] is True
# Now unlock the door
seam.locks.unlock_door(device_id: some_lock.device_id)
updated_lock = seam.locks.get(device_id: some_lock.device_id)
assert updated_lock.properties["locked"] is False
5 — Programming Access Code on a Wyze Lock
The Seam API lets you create access codes on Wyze locks with a gateway. These codes can then be entered to unlock the door. You can find out more info about how Seam access codes in our core concept section on access codes.
# create an ongoing code
seam.access_codes.create(
device=some_lock,
name="Personal Access Code")
# create a timebound code
seam.access_codes.create(
device=some_lock,
name="My Temp Access Code",
starts_at="2028-08-12T19:23:42+0000",
ends_at="2028-08-13T19:23:42+0000")
# you can use a device or a device_id as the "device" parameter
seam.access_codes.list(device=some_lock)
# [
# AccessCode(access_code_id='631a3a30-3fa7-462a-b3bc-65528ccf8765', type='time_bound', code=None, starts_at='2028-08-12T19:24:00.000Z', ends_at='2028-08-13T19:24:00.000Z', name='My Temp Access Code', status='unset', common_code_key=None),
# AccessCode(access_code_id='4d2f4952-5446-4051-ba7e-a6fc01a376d7', type='ongoing', code='123*12346', starts_at=None, ends_at=None, name='Personal Access Code', status='set', common_code_key=None)
# ]
Next Steps
Now that you've completed this guide, you can try to connect a real Wyze device. To do so, make sure to switch to a non-sandbox workspace and API key as real devices cannot be connected to sandbox workspaces.
