Hi, I’m new here to the Wyze forums. I just purchased my wired camera a few nights ago, and installed yesterday. I started to come up with this problem everyone is discussing where no matter how I wired the actual chime box in my house, I could not get it to ring when the doorbell camera was pushed. I rent, so I really didn’t want to get super complicated and update the transformer. It’s an understandable workaround for a homeowner but I am not that lucky contestant lol.
I was pretty ready to give up and go return the thing or just live with no doorbell chime. On a whim, I tried wiring the Wyze Doorbell V2 one last time, and in doing so I flipped my trans red wire and the white front wire on the actual camera itself…
and magically my chime started to work! WITHOUT the Wyze chime converter connected
This may be something that everyone here has already tried, but I only wanted to post about it because
- I researched online for a while trying to find a fix, and everything lead to instructions on rewiring the chime box/chime converter in different ways - not advising anywhere to try flipping the wires connected to the doorbell
- It isn’t in the simple packaging instructions either to attempt to flip those wires.
Simple fix? Yes. Will it work for everyone? I don’t know, but I see this is obviously a struggle for some people with no real solution. I do hope this could be the answer for some.
