Did anyone have issues with their doorbell v2 chime controller not working with their existing chime? any solutions? My chime works fine with the existing doorbell button, but it doesn’t work with the v2 doorbell/chime controller. I have a 2-wire chime and followed the directions carefully. I am positive it is wired correctly (I even forwarded pics of the install to Wyze for confirmation). In the app, the chime setting is set to mechanical, and the doorbell has been powered on for several hours now, but the chime doesn’t ring when the doorbell button is pressed. I just wanted to check to see if anyone else had a similar experience and solution before sending this doorbell back. Thank you.

Yay, this fix worked for me too!

omg after struggling with this all afternoon, i removed the chime controller and restored the chime setup to stock and now my doorbell v2 rings the doorbell perfectly. i dont even know what the chime controller does. i mean obviously, the doorbell needs power, but it cant “short” the circuit otherwise the doorbell will ring, so they probably complete the circuit but with such a low current that the mechanical chime sees the circuit as “open”, then it probably charges up a small capacitor such that the electronics and wifi can run off 5 volt/0.5 Amp, and when a user presses the doorbell, it shorts the circuit such that 24V or 16V AC runs all the way through the doorbell such that the chime rings. if thats the case, the “chime controller” is probably just a very small resistor. all its doing is providing a path for current to go past the chime such that the doorbell can draw current without triggering the chime. does anyone want to open theirs up to see whats inside? im sure this is some sort of weird edge case, maybe 80% of people have it work as per the instructions. they should follow the playbook out of the original nest thermostat from 2011, where the install experience accounted for every possible permutation of thermostat wiring, and the hand hold you through every possible step.

To anyone trying to be at the v2 doorbell working, I finally got mine working. Don’t bother with the chime controller thats supplied , but instead set the setting in your app where it’ll the doorbell is set to electronic chime, then the doorbell will ring your existing chime. This is assuming you have at least 16 or so volts being sent to your front doorbell (or from your transformer)

I have a similar setup with the Broan mechanical chime. Most of these were installed with a 10VA transformer, which can just barely operate the chime, or not at all. I upgraded to a 30VA transformer and the chime is now a clear, loud, “ding-dong”,

Hello Everyone, I too am having the same problem with the Wize Doorbel v2 Chine . I set up the chime controller first as the instructions said. I then set up the doorbell v2 and it camera video worked well. I received great videos and receiving the notifications were excellent however, when I pressed the doorbell, no chime, NO NOTHING from bell. I then removed the chime controller from the equation, placed the wires for the bell itself back to the location in which there were previously and placed the cover back on th wired bell. I pressed the doorbell again and it rang. I didn’t need the included chime controller to ring the bell… All is fine with my doorbell, so you may want to leave the wired bell chime alone and just wire the doorbell part to eceive the video. Peace.

I finally got around to watching this and enjoyed the learning experience. Thanks for sharing!

MOST DEFINITELY AGREE WITH YOU‼️ Doesn’t a friggin month trying to and finally got mine working without the controller. …but I’m all honestly why do I have to search out a forum dedicated to Wyze doorbell [Mod Edit] and Wyze not simply supplying the answer or fix when purchasing their product‼️ smdh MOD NOTE: Post edited to conform to the Community Guidelines.

[image] nick_wass: Connecting the doorbell per instructions and manual to an approved 16V10VA transformer doesn’t work. That hasn’t been my experience at all. [image]Doorbell cam Wired correctly but no chime I just measured the voltage at my 16V/10VA transformer and read 18.4 V. I couldn’t remember exactly what I’d measured at the old “dumb” doorbell button’s wiring, so this gave me an opportunity to check again. It’s been wired the same way for months. Only recently I had a couple of events where pressing the Doorbell’s button didn’t actually ring the mechanical chime in the house, but tapping the Restart button on the Doorbell’s Settings screen has resolved that (for now).
