What is the Cameras as Chime feature supposed to do for the Doorbell v2? When I go to the setup it doesn’t show any cameras available. Is this just new and not working yet?
This is a feature that is coming out for the Wyze Video Doorbell v2 where it will utilize a camera as a door chime. Currently the only camera that can be used with this feature is the Wyze Cam OG but we are working on getting it into other cameras.

When? The new v2 doorbell feels kind of “bait and switch” like. It is NOT a drop in replacement for people who were using the Wyze Chime with their V1 doorbell. Marketing material showed that it could use a Wyze Camera as a chime, but that is not working for most camera models. There are no great guides on setting up the Alexa integrations to use that as a work-around. Do better.

Could you point me to or show me those materials so I can go make sure they say what cameras are currently available and what ones are not. As far as when I know they are working on it now that they have the OG working, but I do not have a timeline yet.

So are there plans for older cameras being supported for the chime as well ?

Yes, we are working on support for some of them now.

Would that mean some v3 cameras would act as a chime?
I have the doorbell v2 and my mechanical chime isn’t working. I’d really love to get my inside cameras to sound off when the bell is rang!
any eta on this?

I bought the V2 Doorbell expecting it to alert me in my back shop on my Wyze Cam V3 but… you really don’t even have it working yet. Sooo disappointing. Please hurry with an update to let us use this wonderful feature.

Welcome to the Forum, @fposadac!
This feature is currently working for me on a Cam OG and Cam Pan v3s, even when I don’t want it to (I have a related Fix-It Friday post about this). 
bump, looking to use wyze cam v3 as chime please!
Same here as everyone else waiting to be able to use their existing wyze cams as chimes with the V2 doorbell. I just bought the doorbell and was a bit disappointed when I couldn’t connect it to my existing wyze cams. Is there a timeline when we can expect this?

I just want to Echo this. I would love to use my Cam V3/V4 and Pan V2 as chimes. Thanks!
What’s the logic of having more support for OG? OG stands for Original Gangster, meaning it’s supposed to be the same as the original V1, how can v2 v3 V4 have less support than “OG”???
Just purchased an additional OG to be used for the main purpose of being a chime for my v2 doorbell. Why is the option not working right to add it? When you go into the doorbell v2 chime settings it lists my eligible cameras as being this new OG, my other one and my pan v3. When I select this new OG it says camera added successfully, however, it doesn’t add it. It still only shows my pan v3 as being the only 1 on the list, which I added a couple months ago without issue. Thinking it was a setting I missed on my OG I reviewed everything and tried again. Still nothing. I then figured I’d try adding my other OG… same thing happens. It says it’s been added but it hasn’t. It’s obviously not my cameras as otherwise they’re both working fine. It’s clearly an issue with getting the OG’s to act as a chime. I’d try to remove my pan cam and re-add to test if it’s affecting those too but I’m afraid I would get this same issue so don’t want to risk it. Super disappointed right now though as that’s the only reason I purchased this second OG. Never tried the first OG I have as a chime before as that’s outside in the backyard and not one that would be useful as a chime. So it’s pretty sad that aside from the SD storage and color night vision that this doorbell is such a step down vs the Pro, usability and feature wise. Would’ve been much better had there have been the option to use the chimes from the Pro with these. Alexa isn’t reliable enough to consistently chime and if you don’t have an existing doorbell you have no other way to hear when it’s pressed aside from Alexa or if you have 1 of the only 2 compatible cam options to use as a chime. Now those don’t even work. Seems like from the other posts here that others are having similar issues but they get unsuccessful errors when adding instead of successful and not showing. Either way OG’s aren’t working as it’s promised they’re supposed to. With all that said, any idea on a fix for this?
That’s the opposite of one of my problems. I have a Cam Pan v3 that continues to chime even though the settings for my Video Doorbell v2 show that no cameras are selected (and the app also incorrectly reports selected camera settings, as I demonstrate in a video).
Wish I could trade you. I miss the door so many times because my Alexa devices fail to ring so I thought this would solve my issue. As of now it didn’t and all it did do was cost me more money lol. Too bad it’s not something that can be setup as a rule so that if it’s not going yo work as they say we could that as a workaround, for on or off.
I unfortunately need the SD recording now otherwise I’d put my Pro back up in a heartbeat. 
Good luck with yours.
It actually used to be a Rule Action. I’m not sure exactly when or why that changed, but that’s one of the things I’d definitely vote to bring back.

Me too. That would be awesome. Didn’t know that was ever an option as I never needed it til now. The plug in chime with the pro could be heard through the entire house.
