How To Add Traffic Camera To Actiontiles

I accept wanted to write this mail service for a while now merely I simply needed to get-go successfully integrate Wyze Cam video with ActionTiles on a Kindle Burn HD8. This has been a project that I have been putting off for some time for no reason other than laziness. I finally got my ass in gear and really got this setup. While getting into the project of integrating video from Wyze Cam into ActionTiles I did a lot of reading online and at that place is a lot of information out there but as well a lot of partial, and downright false data out in that location.  It is my hope that through my research you will benefit and I hope to simplify the process.

Requirements

• Wyze Cam
• tinyCam Pro
• Kindle Fire HD8 (or some other android based smart device)
• (optional) sacrificial Android Device to run tinyCam Pro Web Server
• ActionTiles

• In the Wyze App select, I heard "Fix to connect" from the bottom

You should now have your Wyze Cam integrated with ActionTiles. I am doing this on a Kindle Burn down HD8 that is wall mounted in my kitchen. I am also using that same Kindle Fire HD8 to run the tinyCam Web Server so for me there is no need for a sacrificial device but to run that.

Adding Wyze Cam video into ActionTiles takes another step in the direction of centralizing all of your smart home devices. For me, ActionTiles has replaced most of my smart home apps and the ones it has not replaced I am launching from within ActionTiles just that is the topic of a futurity post.
What are your thoughts nearly integrating Wyze Cam or really any video supported by tinyCam into ActionTiles? Have you done it? Let me know your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.
