Alexa and DoorBell that works FOR ME.

Streaming to the Doorbell on my Echo Show 5 2nd Gen… does not work…

Waiting For Wyze… several gyrations… then… HMmmm the camera is not responding…

FIRMWARE is FULL UPDATE to the Alexa one before, and the MANDATORY ONE

I CAN get the Show to respond with “Person Detected” but is very delayed. It will so play the chime I set via Alexa for a ding dong event (pun! ) Streaming of the camera does not work. ie: Show the doorbell… gives the above results.

This is on a DEDICATED 19VDC Power supply, NOT A DOORBELL transformer, powered a ring doorbell before wyze, mine is long gone ,or well the wires for it…door upgrades took that out…years ago… Matter of fact there is a Wyze Outdoor outlet plugged into this same outlet below the camera/doorbell… and it has happily worked for 2 years sitting on the ground… about time to put it back to FT use with Xmas coming up… Santa on, deer on!

Doorbell, connecting issues

I am running the same firmware version on the same app version on Android 13 for Moto and experience near instantaneous load to live stream from both the Home Device List and when the cam is grouped. I cannot replicate what you are experiencing. My only suggestions, which are more standard troubleshooting steps than possible solutions, would be to (1) power cycle the doorbell, or (2) uninstall and reinstall the app, or (3) uninstall and reinstall the doorbell. The last would be to contact Custo…

Alexa and Wyze and .....Devices and features

Cool Very cool. I have their inside motion sensor in my mailbox. When the mailperson waves a hand across the opening, it signals. Works great. I have the glass breakage (shake) Yolink in my old Tacoma that sits on the street. Literally any movement will trigger my attention. This is just in case for those folks that will see our catalytic converters. And the outside contact sensor on my gate. Install it, set it and forget it. Works every time. I’ve not changed the battery in 18 months. …

Any resolution this would go a long way to cooling off my rage between this and the mandatory firmware move! Don’t do that again! I don’t care how important you or your lawyers think it is!
