Step-by-Step Solution
Check chime mode and volume settings
Confirm selected chime device and volume level in Eufy app are configured correctly. Misconfigured output routing is a common no-ring cause.

$6.99Verify doorbell power and transformer rating
Ensure wired doorbell has adequate voltage and stable transformer output. Undervoltage can disable chime relay behavior.
Inspect physical chime wiring path
Check chime kit wiring and connectors for loose or incorrect terminal placement. Wiring errors often prevent indoor chime actuation.
Test app notifications versus chime output
Compare whether motion/doorbell events appear in app while chime remains silent. This isolates event detection from chime control path.
Re-run chime setup wizard and firmware updates
Reconfigure chime pairing and apply updates, then trigger test presses. Persistent silence after setup refresh suggests hardware relay issue.
Quick Solutions
Still having issues? This is usually the deeper cause below.
If this comes back after following these steps, check whether a recent app or firmware update reset a default setting — the fix works, but the setting gets reverted silently.
Set up motion scheduling or snooze alerts during times when regular activity is expected like when kids come home from school. Use pre-recorded quick replies so the doorbell can respond to visitors automatically when you cannot answer.
This issue almost always looks more complex than it is — the majority of cases trace back to a single setting, a stale credential, or a default that shipped wrong.
