Help Needed: Collecting Device MAC for Doorbell v2 Offline Issue

[Crease]

I think perhaps you misunderstand some things about the Duo Cam Doorbell.

@TreyTheDad

I like the new Duo, and although it can be wired to your existing chime for power, it does not use it as a chime

It can, yes. That’s one of the settings demonstrated in the unboxing video as well as described in the FAQ:

@Crease

In my previous post I linked to a FAQ in the Help Center that indicates existing household doorbell wiring can be used to power the chime and allow the chime to ring the home’s existing mechanical chime. The unboxing video illustrates this latter point , which I really like.

@TreyTheDad

this one does use the plug-in chime like the V1.

Sort of. The Duo Cam Doorbell comes with a separate chime, but it’s the new Wi-Fi Chime, which, if used, is set up as a separate device in the Wyze app and connects to your home’s LAN via Wi-Fi. Because it’s not a Bluetooth connection like chimes that accompanied older Wyze doorbell models, it’s able to work with all other Wyze cameras, and this should include Video Doorbell v2. Once again, the Help Center is your friend:

@TreyTheDad

That makes me think there is almost no chance of them adding support for the external chime on the V2.

Video Doorbell v2 should work with the new Wi-Fi Chime, which should potentially be available without Duo Cam Doorbell before the end of the year:

Can I order extra chimes?

Not yet, but perhaps by sometime in December, according to the Reddit AMA.
