Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Verify Compatibility and Prepare

Before installation, ensure your existing wired mechanical doorbell system meets the following:

• Voltage: 16V to 24V AC with at least 10VA power output
• Chime Type: Mechanical chimes that produce a "ding-dong" sound (not digital or integrated chip-controlled chimes)
• Wiring: Typically 2 or 3 wires in your chime box

Important: If you are unsure about your wiring or electrical panel, consult a licensed electrician.

2. Install the Wyze Chime Controller

• Turn off power to your doorbell circuit at the electrical panel.
• Open your existing chime box and take a photo of the wiring for reference.
• Connect the Wyze Chime Controller wires to the appropriate terminals inside the chime box, following the Wyze app instructions:
• For 2-wire setups, connect to the fuse wire and chime terminals.
• For 3 or more wires, select the correct door and wire terminals as guided.
• Secure all wire connections with the provided wire caps.
• Close the chime box.

3. Install the Wyze Video Doorbell v2

• Remove your old doorbell and disconnect the wires.
• Mount the included wall plate or wedge at your desired location (recommended height: 4.3 feet / 1.2 meters).
• Attach the extension wires to the doorbell screws, then connect the wires from your wall to the extension wires using wire caps.
• Press the doorbell onto the wall plate until it clicks securely.
• Turn the power back on at the electrical panel.
• Confirm the doorbell flashes orange, indicating power.
