Also consider professional help if the chime still doesn't work after trying all troubleshooting steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Eufy doorbell not making my existing chime ring?
This is usually caused by incorrect chime settings in the Eufy app. Make sure 'Mechanical Chime' is enabled in the doorbell settings and that your chime type is properly selected. Also verify that the doorbell is wired in series with your existing chime, not bypassing it.
Can I use my old doorbell chime with a Eufy video doorbell?
Yes, most Eufy video doorbells are compatible with existing mechanical and digital chimes rated for 10-40VA. However, you need to enable the mechanical chime setting in the app and ensure proper wiring connections.
What voltage does a Eufy doorbell need to work with existing chimes?
Eufy doorbells typically require 16-24V AC from your doorbell transformer to function properly with existing chimes. If your voltage is too low, the chime may not work reliably.
How do I know if my doorbell transformer is compatible with Eufy?
Use a multimeter to test the voltage output at your transformer or at the doorbell wires. It should read between 16-24V AC. Also check that your transformer is rated for at least 30VA to provide sufficient power for both the Eufy doorbell and your existing chime.
Why does my HomeBase chime work but not my wired chime?
This indicates that the Eufy doorbell is receiving power and functioning, but the mechanical chime setting may be disabled in the app, or there's a wiring issue preventing the signal from reaching your existing chime. Check the chime settings in the app first.
