With the work week here and long hours, in addition to still messing with the doorbell chime, I haven’t had a whole lot of time to test this until today. I left it as-is, since we all chatted about this a couple days ago. I did not add/enable the wyze alexa app skill on my phone as suggested ‘for science’. I did not “link alexa” within the wyze app ‘for science’. I just didn’t have time to mess with it. I left it with communications toggled on, announcments ‘enabled’, in the alexa app as pictured way up above on this thread. Didn’t touch or try to trigger the doorbell until tonight. Delivery people dropping off packages don’t even ring the doorbell anymore.
After ringing the doorbell today, when I got home from work, alexa-the echo dot - no longer chimes in. WTH?! …a couple of days ago, this past weekend while on here with you fine folks, I was able to toggle the announcements on and off in the alexa app which had a direct effect on the echo dot’s doorbell notification (from the audio clip above).
Now, no matter how I toggle the communications or announcement toggle switches in the alexa app, the echo dot no longer triggers from the DCD.
Strange… 
…hmmm… like something or someone was monitoring this forum, this chat and scurried away to go ‘fix’ it before the word gets out. A bit conspiracy-theory-ish. Buuut, bad PR in this field with so much competition is pretty rough. Just sayin’ 
I did notice this though:
I toggle this or that, on or off, doesn’t matter, then I press sync. It thinks about it, then says there are “no devices to sync with”
This didn’t do that before. Anytime I synced, it would think about it, then take me back to the communications page where the toggles are like it worked or something. I don’t know. I didn’t really pay attention because nothing stood out as not working since things were already not working at that time.
Well, now things really aren’t working. So, it’s fair to assume that whatever monkey (or person) in the system ‘fixed’ this problem, after they saw a good conversation about it here, if I wanted the echo dot to notify me again that someone rang the doorbell I will have to link the wyze app or link the alexa app, or both. In theory, it should be both.
I’ll let this marinate until this weekend and see if anything changes, as things seems to do with this Wyze stuff, in my experience anyways. Because just letting my doorbell chime sit after wiring up the chime controller seems to have fixed itself after a couple of days of not touching it at all. But, that’s for a different thread.
