Why does doorbell chime no long work now

Problem with the v2 doorbell is they don’t come with a digital chime. So you have no option but to use your existing one.

What you see as a problem I see as a feature: One of the selling points for me was that—unlike previous Wyze doorbell models—the Video Doorbell v2 is able to use my home’s existing mechanical chime. I want a doorbell to sound like a doorbell, not simulacrum from another wall wart.

@xraycn

When v2 released I quickly bought it for the SD card feature.

That was the other major selling point for me.

Now there is a digital chime option in the app but wyze still doesn’t support cam v3 as digital chimes.

Yeah, I think the “Cameras as Chime” function still has some issues that need to be resolved before that feature can be expanded to more models.

@xraycn

It’s been how long now?

That’s a good question, and my guess is that it’s going to be longer than originally planned before that feature is extended to Cam v3:

@Crease

The Help Center article describing this feature used to say that it would be coming to Cam v3 (non-Pan) models “soon”, but I see now that it was amended 4 days ago and that reference has been removed. (When I quoted that same article 5 days ago, it said this: “Support for using your Wyze Cam as a chime is limited to Wyze Cam OG, Telephoto, and Wyze Cam Pan v3 for now. We plan to expand this function to Wyze Cam v3 soon.” The change in verbiage leaves it unclear whether planned expansion of this feature is no longer limited to Cam v3 or if it’s been postponed indefinitely or something else.)
