Alternate power for Wyze Chime

I dont have an existing door bell or chime how can I power the Wyze Door Bell?

Welcome to the Forum, @PwrHsePro! :wave:

Which doorbell model are you asking about? Some Wyze doorbell models are powered by existing low-voltage AC (like what’s used in a typical “dumb” push-button doorbell to activate a home’s built-in chime) and some are powered by battery with an option for wiring to power. Even without existing doorbell wiring, it’s also possible to power doorbells with an adequately-rated plug-in transformer.

Sharing more detail in your question and being specific about what you’re asking will help others within the community to provide assistance and could also guide reclassifying your topic for better visibility, as I don’t see anything in your question related to the Home products category or the room-sensor tag that you chose.

I didnt realize that Wyze had many door bell options… only wired and battery…

I assumed that a door bell would be under Home, but didnt see an option for it…

In the mean time, Ill wait forthe battery time to be in sto k and just buy one.

I’m not sure which are currently available for sale on their Web site, but I recently listed them (with links to product pages) in another topic:

I can understand that confusion, and learning to use the categories and tags here in the Forum can take some time along with trial and error. Since the video doorbells have cameras, their tags are listed in the Cameras category. If we knew which specific model you had questions about (because that’s going to determine to some degree which chime you’re referring to in your topic title), then we could reclassify your post so that the category and tag are a better match for your topic’s content.

I noticed you have another post that appears to be tagged for Duo Cam Doorbell, and that model uses a removable rechargeable battery but can also be wired to a transformer for continuous microSD recording. As noted in the post I quoted above, that doorbell model includes Wi-Fi Chime when purchased from Wyze, but please be aware that some authorized retailers like Home Depot also offer it without the chime. If you purchase the Duo Cam Doorbell with Wi-Fi Chime, then the Wi-Fi Chime plugs into an electrical outlet just like if you were plugging in a typical wired Wyze Cam.
