Hi All,

 

I bout one of these and installed on Monday.

 

I am sure when I tested it on the kitchen table my phone had an audio alert.

 

Today we had a courier visit and press the button but our phones did not alert. There was a notification but no Audio alert.

 

I have gone through the settings and notifications, and I have set a sound, but still, nothing.

 

I have checked that the phone is not on silent and I have allowed notifications in settings ( iPhone )

 

Has anyone got one of these and have any advice?

 

John

I have the same doorbell.

 

I have found it somewhat delayed, so I hooked it up to an Alexa.

 

That seems to have fixed the audible alert from when someone pushes the button.

 

TBH. The Google doorbell was far more reliable and faster. However it’s hard to find a wireless battery powered doorbell without a subscription.

 

Also, mine isn’t hooked up to the hub, it’s direct on the WiFi.

I have mine connected to power as SWMBO did not want to charge batteries every now and then.

 

I dont have Alexa, we are an apple household.

 

Ours is connected to wifi too.

Thanks for that, still no ding dong for me, same on my iPad, wife's iphone is working.

 

All I get is a notification Human Alert - Doorbell  Tap to view the event.

 

I think I have annoyed the neighbours enough tonight so I will try again tomorrow.

Sorry Just reread , when the door bell rings the ding dong comes out of the home base. I get the notification to the phones and the iPads which is the default notification sound, which Is pretty quite but you can change it. The phone or iPad won’t get the ding dong I think .

I am wanting an audio alert on my phone otherwise, you have to be looking at your screen all the time.

 

I am not getting anything, I have change the alert and I hear something when I change it but there is no sound the button is pressed.

Have you tried changing the ring alert to something other than default or mabey reset the doorbell? I don’t need to look at my phone it plays the default ring alert to me . Something definitely odd
