For those looking to install or troubleshoot the Wyze Doorbell Chime Controller with a mechanical doorbell, here's a comprehensive guide to help you through the process. The Wyze Doorbell Chime Controller is designed to work seamlessly with the Wyze Video Doorbell v2 and the Wyze Duo Cam Doorbell.
Installation Guide:
1.
Preparation: Before starting, ensure you have a screwdriver and an existing wired doorbell. Turn off the power to your existing mechanical doorbell at your electrical panel.
2.
Wiring: Open your chime box and take a photo of your current wiring setup. Follow the instructions in the Wyze app to connect the wires to the correct terminals. If you have two wires, connect to the fuse wire. For three or more wires, follow the app's guidance to connect the proper wires.
3.
Testing: After wiring, press the doorbell button to ensure the power is off, then turn the power back on and test the doorbell to ensure it rings as expected.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- If your chime doesn't ring after installation, check your power supply and wiring. The Wyze Video Doorbell v2 requires a minimum of a 16V 10VA transformer.
- If issues persist, consider trying alternate wiring instructions or upgrading your transformer to a 20-30VA model for better performance.
Why Install the Chime Controller?
Even if your existing chime is non-functional, installing the Wyze Doorbell Chime Controller is recommended to protect your doorbell from power surges and ensure proper power connection.
