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.

Still waiting tu use Cam V3 as a chime for Doorbell V2…… but Wyze released a TERRIBLE upgrade….and no news for V3 as a chime

[image] fposadac: In the new, TERRIBLE, Wyze app, you can not turn off or on a camara group. You have to do it one by one. What a disaster!! Unrelated to this topic, but I can turn cam groups on/off via the power button. I turned “AuxIR group” off in this example: iOS: [IMG_0150] Android: [Screenshot_20240726_225930_Wyze]

[image] fposadac: no news for V3 as a chime Be prepared to continue the wait. Although I noted above :point_up: that the article describing the “Cameras as Chime” feature used to say that it would be available for Cam v3 “soon”, Wyze apparently amended this message a couple of weeks ago, so I can only infer that the wait for further roll-out will be indefinite.

Yes, but you have to have them on FAVORITES

[image] fposadac: you have to have them on FAVORITES That is the point of the 3.0 app. Drive from Favorites, not Devices.

After having the v3.0 app for only a few days, I finally tried playing with this feature and can see the behavior you describe. I demonstrate it (twice) in a video in another topic: [image] doorbell_v2 "Cameras as Chime"! Now even buggier in the v3.0 app! Cameras Now this feature seems to be failing entirely in the v3.0 Android app, as others have reported elsewhere[1][2]: I can still select cameras (Cam OG and Cam Pan v3) in the v2.5x Android app without having it puke on me, but that version of the app is still displaying the behavior I demonstrated in my initial post here. pencil2 Edit: I submitted a report to Wyze Support: Log ID: 1526259 Wyze Ticket: 4026639 right_arrow_curving_left︎ right_arrow_curving_left︎

Still waiting (today is August 15, 2024) to use my Wyze cameras V3 as a chime for doorbell v2. On chat support Wyze told me today !!!that they still DO NOT HAVE a possible date… What a terrible service

Im currently cant not use my Cam OG as chime, everytime i click on “chime” a message “Fail” popup and close out instantly, it’s been almost 2 months now. i bought a Cam OG for that only reason but cant use it. How long it gonna take ? you offer it as feature but it doesnt work at all. It’s a terrible scam if you ask me.

Welcome to the Forum, @jeremytu3710! :wave: I posted a video documenting the “Fail” message in another topic: [image] doorbell_v2 "Cameras as Chime"! Now even buggier in the v3.0 app! Cameras Now this feature seems to be failing entirely in the v3.0 Android app, as others have reported elsewhere[1][2]: I can still select cameras (Cam OG and Cam Pan v3) in the v2.5x Android app without having it puke on me, but that version of the app is still displaying the behavior I demonstrated in my initial post here. pencil2 Edit: I submitted a report to Wyze Support: Log ID: 1526259 Wyze Ticket: 4026639 right_arrow_curving_left︎ right_arrow_curving_left︎ I also submitted a log and opened a ticket with Wyze Support, which has since been closed. They say that they’re aware of the issue, so I think at this point we’re all stuck waiting for a resolution from the app developers. In the meantime, a few other options exist for chimes: I can still configure the “Cameras as Chime” feature if I use the v2.5x version of the Wyze app (or at least I could the last time I tried), so that might be a possibility if you’re willing to use a site like APKMirror to revert to a previous version just to get this feature. If you have compatible Amazon Echo or Google Home smart speakers within your ecosystem, it may be possible to use those as accessory chimes, though using Google Home for this purpose requires a work-around. In the topic I mentioned above, new fellow Forum member @shademask describes a clever DIY solution for a portable chime.

I really do not have a reason to buy another camera, nor do I want to use my existing cameras as a chime!! Can you please just make a chime that works with the all the video doorbells?? I love your products but this is where your company has let me down!!
