How to Control Volume Levels for Wyze Chime Doorbell Alerts
If you own a Wyze Video Doorbell paired with a Wyze Chime, managing the volume of your doorbell alerts is simple and customizable. While the Wyze Video Doorbell itself does not allow volume adjustments for its built-in speaker, the Wyze Chime accessory offers multiple volume levels to ensure you never miss a visitor.
Understanding Wyze Chime and Doorbell Volume Settings
Wyze Chime Volume Control
The Wyze Chime is designed to work seamlessly with your Wyze Video Doorbell, sounding an alert whenever someone presses the doorbell button. You can easily adjust the volume of the chime through the Wyze app:
- Open the Wyze app and tap on your Wyze Video Doorbell device.
- Tap the Settings icon in the top right corner.
- Navigate to Accessories > Your Chime > Tunes.
- Next to Volume, drag the slider to your preferred level. There are 8 volume levels available.
- The chime will sound immediately to confirm the volume setting.
This feature ensures you can set the alert volume to suit your environment, whether you need a louder chime for a noisy household or a softer tone for quieter settings.
Wyze Video Doorbell Volume Limitations
It’s important to note that the Wyze Video Doorbell’s own speaker volume cannot be adjusted. The doorbell’s speaker is primarily for two-way audio communication and notifications, but the alert sound volume is controlled exclusively through the Wyze Chime.
Setting Up Your Wyze Chime for Optimal Alerts
Initial Setup of Wyze Chime
After installing your Wyze Video Doorbell, you will be prompted to add a Wyze Chime:
- Plug the Wyze Chime into a standard power outlet near your doorbell.
- Press and hold the reset button on the bottom of the chime until the blue light flashes three times.
- The chime will automatically pair with your doorbell.
- Complete the setup in the Wyze app by tapping Finish.
This setup ensures your chime is ready to alert you with customizable sounds and volume.
Troubleshooting Volume Issues
If your Wyze Chime does not sound when the doorbell is pressed:
- Verify the chime is plugged in and powered.
- Check the volume slider in the Wyze app under Accessories > Your Chime and increase the volume if it’s set to zero.
- If issues persist, contact Wyze support for assistance.
