How the Wyze Chime Controller Improves Your Doorbell Alerts

Works with Your In-House Chime

The Wyze Chime Controller is not a standalone chime; instead, it enables your existing mechanical chime to work with your Wyze Video Doorbell v2 or Duo Cam Doorbell. This means you’ll hear the familiar "ding dong" in the rooms where you expect it, at the same volume as your original doorbell.

"Hear alerts exactly where you want in your home with your Wyze cams."

Installation and Setup

• Step 1: Ensure you have a compatible Wyze Video Doorbell v2 or Duo Cam Doorbell.
• Step 2: Follow the installation guide to wire the Chime Controller to your existing chime.
• Step 3: Use the Wyze app to complete setup and test your chime.

"We lay it all out for you. But check out the steps prior to buying."

Note: The Wyze Chime Controller is not compatible with the Wyze Chime plug-in unit or with Wyze Video Doorbell v1 or Pro.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Change the Volume of My Doorbell Chime?

• Mechanical Chime: The volume is determined by your existing chime hardware. The Wyze Chime Controller does not amplify the chime but ensures it rings at its original volume.
• Wyze Chime Plug-in: If you use a Wyze Chime plug-in accessory (not compatible with v2 or Duo Cam), you can adjust the volume in the Wyze app.

What If My Old Chime Is Broken?

• The Wyze Chime Controller can work with most mechanical chimes, even if they are not fully functional. This makes it a great solution for homes with aging chime systems.

Can I Use Multiple Chimes?

• The Chime Controller can only be wired to one chime. For homes with multiple chimes, only one can be controlled per controller.
