In this video I compare the new Wyze secondary ignition probe (sent to me by AESwave) against my older Wyze probe, and then I bring in a surprise contender: a cheaper Rotkee probe.
Here’s why I made the video: I was genuinely concerned the Wyze probe I bought might be defective, because I could not seem to capture a clean, consistent secondary ignition waveform in the application I was testing. Then I tried the Rotkee probe—and it produced a waveform that was noticeably easier to work with.
So I ran a side-by-side comparison:
Old Wyze probe vs New Wyze probe
Both Wyze probes vs Rotkee probe
Same vehicle/application, same scope setup (as close as possible), same approach
What I found
The new Wyze probe did show some differences compared to the older one, but the improvement was not substantial in my testing. The Rotkee probe was the surprise—it wasn’t perfect, and it still wasn’t “excellent” for this specific use-case, but it performed better than the others in the exact scenario I was fighting.
Who this is for
If you’re trying to capture secondary ignition waveforms, comparing probe options, or you’re troubleshooting why your waveform looks weak/noisy/inconsistent, this video will give you real-world data and expectations.
