In the Reddit AMA event on 10/25/24, regarding sounds for this chime, Wyze said:

Yes, it could potentially become possible to play customized sounds however, we do not have a current plan to implement that for now.

[Text to Speech] is a great idea, and we evaluated it seriously. However, no plan for now. Thanks.

Theoretically, it would be able to work with all Wyze WiFi devices in the future, but that feature is not available at this time. Thanks

Yes, the Wifi chime will be used with HMS, as soon as we have enough inventory.

We can consider adding more [sounds to the WiFi Chime] if there is enough interest in that.

This Wishlist is to do exactly that: see how much interest there is in adding new sound options. Please vote above on the vote button as well as voting in the polls below.

How Wyze can get the above sounds at no cost

Note that many of the above requests can be found free of licensing or copyright requirements at places such as soundbible.com or Freesound.org or a creative commons search across various platforms like Flickr, SoundCloud, and Youtube for any content with Creative Commons licenses that allow commercial use (e.g, CC BY). There are also Royalty-Free Sound Libraries such as Pixabay, ZapSplat, Uppbeat. Or Wyze could create their own In-House. But this should be VERY FEASIBLE to add more sounds, assuming the chime has sufficient storage available.

Sorry if I left out anything others may think is obvious or important. If you have other suggestions not included in the first polls, please enter a comment below with the other options and we can add them to a list of other suggestions and potentially add them into another poll as well (the initial polls can’t be edited but we can add more later if there is sufficient interest in other options too).

I should’ve included a Rooster crowing sound. I hate roosters :rooster:

This would work well if you use “Schedules” for the doorbell. For example, I might consider using a rooster crowing sound if a person is detected in the early morning, then have a different sound for the same thing during the daytime and a third one in the evening/night time. That’s kind of a cool idea. In that sense I would totally use a rooster crowing!

Is there any update on these features becoming available?

Dual cam doorbell person at door

I’m not sure about everyone else, but the chime that comes with the Dual Cam Doorbell would be nice if it could announce that there’s someone at the door instead of just playing a chime sound.

It would really really tell the two apart, because sometimes people will come to drop off a package and not ring the doorbell.

Also with AI’s assistance it should be able to pick out that it’s a person and announce that it’s a person without picking up other things and thinking it’s a person.

I don’t know what other smart home things you might be using or what options your particular doorbell model exposes to them, because I don’t use Duo Cam Doorbell, but since you mentioned…

…if you’re already using Google Home and/or Amazon Alexa and have your Wyze account linked and if you’re using smart speakers (Google Home Mini, Amazon Echo Dot, etc.), then you can already get this with some Wyze video doorbells:

Doorbell Google Home feature Amazon Alexa feature
Video Doorbell v2 Voice notifications[1]
  • Person Detection Notifications
  • Doorbell Press Notifications
Battery Video Doorbell Voice notifications
  • Person Detection Announcements
  • Package Detection Announcements
  • Doorbell Press Notifications

I’ve used combinations of these—and I believe they do require a Wyze subscription to pass along the Smart Detection information to the third party—and have been pleased with the results from both ecosystems. Again, I don’t know if you’re using either of these other smart home systems or what Duo Cam Doorbell exposes to them, but that could be something to look into.

Is it possible to approximate this now with Wyze Automations? You might not be able to get something like a person announcement, but I’d think with a subscription attached to the doorbell you could use a Smart Detection trigger to cause Wi-Fi Chime to play something other than its standard sound (whatever default you choose for a doorbell button press) whenever a person is detected.

  1. “Get alerts on voice assistant speakers and displays. Notifications may also need to be turned on in the partner app.” —from the Google Home app ↩︎

While I do have linked to Alexa and I do have smart detections turned on you’re right I can get Alexa to do this but I still have to listen to the chime, in order to get Alexa to announce there is a person you have to have person detection turned on. Which then means your chime is going to go off. So you now have a doorbell sound and a person announcement. Where half if the chime would announce it then I wouldn’t need the Alexa to announce it thus getting rid of the Chime doorbell sound

I get that, and in places in my home where I have both Google Home and Amazon Echo devices I hear announcements from both when the current doorbell detects a person. It can be a bit much, especially if there’s a lot of activity near the door (someone working in the yard, etc.). I absolutely agree that this is something Wyze can and should do for Wi-Fi Chime.
