Doorbell v2 Cameras as Chime

I’m not sure why that was directed at me, but I don’t work for Wyze and so can’t provide any updates about anything (and I’m not sure what kind of update you’re seeking, or on what). The posts from Jason :point_up: are the latest official word I’ve seen here, and the Wyze Help Center article on the subject (which indicates it was last updated 3 months ago) says this:

Support for using your Wyze Cam as a chime is limited to Wyze Cam OG, Telephoto, and Wyze Cam Pan v3 for now. We plan to expand this function to Wyze Cam v3 soon.

Note that this is “soon” in Wyze time, so…. :man_shrugging:

You also didn’t say which Wyze camera models you’re currently using, only that you don’t want a Cam OG.

In my experience, this feature is buggy, and I actually prefer the way it works on my Cam OG to how it’s working (even when I don’t want it to) on my Cam Pan v3. I can understand why you might not want a Cam OG, but my experience with that model has been positive, and I would’ve bought more if not for the recent sale where the Cam v4 was only only nominally more expensive than the Cam OG.

I don’t know if you use any other smart home stuff, but if you’ve got something like a Google Home or Amazon Echo smart speaker, then it should be possible to have your Video Doorbell v2 button press trigger an announcement or other sound via automation, so that might be something to consider.
