Wayzn Smart Dog Door: Your Top FAQs Answered

 

The Wayzn Smart Dog Door is revolutionizing how pet owners give their dogs freedom and independence without compromising home security or convenience. Whether you're considering your first smart pet door or looking for details before making a purchase, this article answers the most frequently asked questions about the Wayzn Smart Dog Door. We've got you covered from fit and installation to app functionality and automation features.


FAQs: Everything You Need to Know About the Wayzn Smart Dog Door

Wayzn Smart Dog Door fits most two-panel sliding glass doors and comes in three sizes to suit different track lengths. It offers multiple smart control options through the Wayzn app, Alexa, and Wayzn Pet Tag. Learn how it works, what doors it fits, and what makes it the smart choice for modern pet owners.


What Type of Door Does the Wayzn Smart Pet Door Fit?

The Wayzn Smart Pet Door is designed to work with two-panel sliding glass doors where the fixed panel is the outermost panel. It is not compatible with 3+ panel sliding doors and cannot be installed outside your home. Always check your door's layout before purchase to ensure compatibility.


What Sizes Are Available for the Wayzn Smart Dog Door?

Wayzn comes in three sizes, each built to accommodate a different exposed track length:

  • Small: 27 to 30.5 inches

  • Medium: 30.75 to 37.5 inches

  • Large: 37.75 to 49.75 inches

To find the right size, simply measure your door’s exposed track length and use the Wayzn Configure Tool to select the perfect fit.


How Wide Will the Door Open with Wayzn Installed?

The door’s opening width depends on your exposed track length. While it won’t open as wide as without the device installed, Wayzn offers ample clearance for most pets. Plus, when not in use, you can pivot the Wayzn Smart Dog Door out of the way, allowing the sliding door to fully open as normal.


Can the Wayzn Smart Pet Door Be Used on a Double Door?

Yes, the Wayzn Smart Pet Door can be used on a double door—specifically, two adjoining two-panel sliding glass doors that open from the center in opposite directions. To ensure proper operation and security, one of the doors must be fixed in place so it cannot be opened from the outside.

If one of your doors locks into the top or bottom of the frame, you can simply install the Wayzn on the other. However, if both doors only lock to each other (and not to the frame), you’ll need to install a small foot lock or similar hardware to secure one door. Once that’s done, the Wayzn Smart Pet Door can be installed on the operable panel, just like with a standard two-panel sliding door.


Will the Wayzn Smart Pet Door Work with Heavy Storm or Hurricane Doors?

Yes, the Wayzn Smart Pet Door can be used with heavy storm or hurricane-rated sliding doors—as long as an average person can easily open the door using one hand. The height and weight of the door won’t impact functionality.

However, it’s worth noting that heavier doors may cause the Smart Pet Door to operate with slightly more noise than usual, so that’s something to keep in mind before purchasing.


How Easy Is It to Install the Wayzn Smart Pet Door?

Installing the Wayzn Smart Pet Door is quick and straightforward—no tools, drilling, or permanent alterations are required. It’s designed to fit into the track of your existing two-panel sliding glass door and can be set up in minutes. 

Simply measure your track to select the right size, place the device in the track, plug it in, connect it to Wi-Fi, and configure settings through the Wayzn app. It’s a hassle-free solution that’s also easy to remove if you move or need to take it down temporarily.


What Can I Control with the Wayzn App?

The Wayzn app gives you full control over your smart dog door, even when you’re not home. Key features include:

  • Set how long the door stays open

  • Adjust the opening width

  • Turn automation features on or off (motion detection, Alexa, Pet Tag)

  • Schedule specific days and times for operation

  • Add or remove other users

  • Use location detection to switch between home and away modes


What Are the Different Ways to Open the Wayzn Door?

You can control your Wayzn Smart Dog Door in several ways:

  • Wayzn App: Control from anywhere. Use a camera for added safety before opening remotely.

  • Motion Detection: Automatically lets your pet out (but not back in).

  • Alexa Integration: Use voice commands or routines triggered by an Alexa-compatible camera.

  • Wayzn Pet Tag: (Sold separately) Allows your pet to come and go as they please.

The Wayzn Smart Dog Door is more than just a pet door—it's a smart, secure solution for modern pet owners. With flexible installation, app-based control, and automation features, it puts you in charge of when and how your pet can access the outdoors. Have more questions?
