Is it possible to connect the S210 Door Bell camera to my Homebase 3 AND have the wireless chime work as well?
My Homebase 3 is in a different location and when connected to the doorbell it’s the homebase that chimes which is a terrible idea as it can’t be heard upstairs.
If I reconnect it back to the chime, then I lose the AI functionality & the additional storage homebase provides
I have an Alexa smart home set-up. The lag between Eufy and Alexa is appalling. I work in the attic and by the time Alexa gives me the notification it’s too late by the time I get to the door. Also, I often have my phone on silent for work. The chime 'just worked right up until I connected it to the Homebase which was something I never anticipated.
If I set the “not as a chime” then the doorbell doesn’t ring at all inside the house, just from the doorbell.
Unfortunately it doesn’t “fall back” to using the chime (which is still showing in the app as attached).
It seems I can either use the chime, and sacrifice the storage and AI benefits. Or I use the Homebase which means that the chime is inaudible when I’m upstairs due to needing the Homebase in a position to connect to multiple cameras.
That’s too bad you can’t have your wireless chime also working. I guess it’s because that the doorbell cam stores the footage onto the Wi-Fi chimes SD card, but then when you connect the doorbell to the HB3 it just bypasses the Wi-Fi chime all together.
It’s on sale in the UK too, but the description says it’s compatible with the S220, and my doorbell is the S210. I might try it and send it back if it doesn’t work.
It works.
I removed the old door chime from the setup, plugged the new one in. Put the USB card in the back of the Homebase 3. Synced the new chime, went in to the app, opened the doorbell settings and selected ‘additional chime’ and it just worked.
So, if anyone has the S210 doorbell and a Homebase 3, fear not, it will work with additional chimes (despite not being listed a compatible).
That’s excellent! . Thanks for posting back your results with the add-on chime. I’m sure it will help out others here.
If you would, can you post a photo of the box and the part#. Appreciate it.
