I have not installed my Wyze doorbell but I attached the wall plate to the doorbell. How do I remove it? Thank you.

I found this out early in the process. The mounting plate as a one way clip I think to prevent it from being stolen. Both zoggybottom and C have are correct . I tape my so it couldn’t engage until I am sure the the device is working properly m

thumb method above worked well. Finally!

[image] WyzeJasonJ: place your thumbs at the top of the wedge and push upward on the bottom of the doorbell with your fingers Any chance of a photo of how you do that. I’m 85 with arthritic hands. If it breaks will Wyze send me a replacement of the broken part? I’m willing to try to force it if I can see a photo first as to exactly where I put my thumbs and fingers.

@nls Sorry, I do not have a video but it does work. You do have to push upward fairly hard, it should not break. I do not know if they have spare parts or not. To do it place both thumbs on the wedge near the wall, put your fingers under the actual doorbell and push upward with your fingers.

See video ar 3;46 on how to disengage the wyze doorbell with a steak knife [Wyze DoorBell Camera Installation, First Look and Troubleshooting with Chime Module] Below is a.video.showing how to put a switch to the door bell to reset it. And I guess everyone recently had to do this because of the AWS outage. Just flick a switch. See.

Strange, I already answered @nls with your video at [image] How to remove the video doorbell Home You ring, we bring. Get it? Post immediately after that shows steak knife technique video.

The steak knife technique video shows it being applied to a Wyze DoorBell that is not attached to a wall but is lying upside down on a flat surface. I don’t quite understand how I would be able to insert the knife into a wedge-mounted Wyze DoorBell which is attached to the wall. How would that work?

It was flipped outside down to show you where the point of contact is (ie: the clip). It does not mean that the removal only works when it is upside down. It will work whether it is mounted or not in the same place. It shows where the clip is. The angled mount accepts the camera the same way. If you are not able to find out where or how to do this with the information already provided, you should seek the help of a handyman or a professional.

I will take another look at that clip from the video!

Ok. Here. Made a clearer video highlighting exactly what to do and where. On an angled mount [Remove Wyze Doorbell camera with a STEAK KNIFE!!!]
