No worries. I just want to be clear about my role as another user.
It’s not my idea, but thanks. I believe at the time of the Video Doorbell v2’s launch, Wyze published inaccurate messaging about the ability to (natively) use Google Home smart speakers as accessory chimes, but this has since been amended. At some point since then, the “Voice Notifications” option on the Doorbell’s “Device settings” screen within the Google Home app has appeared, but I’m still unclear about what this is supposed to do. (My understanding reading here in the Forum is that enabling this can send announcement messages throughout the home for motion detection and that this can be annoying, but I think that might be for Cam Plus subscribers, which I am not. In my experience so far, enabling Voice Notifications for the Doorbell has no apparent effect.)
I don’t want want to make any assumptions about how you’re achieving that, because I don’t know if you’re talking about using Automations, voice commands to Google Assistant, or something else. As I’ve said, simply enabling Voice Notifications for the Doorbell within the Google Home app has had no apparent effect for me. When I’ve set up a Househole Routine using “Doorbell rings” as a Starter, this has also had no apparent effect. What has consistently worked for me for several months is the work-around described elsewhere (and linked from the post where I describe the particular Wyze Rules and Google Home Automations that I’m using). While I’m using Google Home “broadcast”-type announcements, at least one other Forum participant is using a doorbell playlist for the smart speaker sound, so at least you have some flexibility regarding how you choose to go with this.
If that includes Cam Pan v3, then using that could also be a possibility, depending on the camera’s location (it may not be useful to have it ring as a doorbell chime outside, for instance), but I’ve already described this feature as being buggy with one of those cameras.
I’m glad you were able to get this to work, even if you had to resort to using an Android device. Although that’s my mobile platform of choice, and I realize that cross-platform development has its own set of challenges, I do get frustrated by the lack of parity between the experiences of Android and iOS users of the Wyze app.
