ActiveWyze Video Doorbell Pro
Wyze Video Doorbell Pro — premium features at budget price.
Common Applications
Wyze disrupts the doorbell market like they did with cameras. 2K HDR video, head-to-toe view, on-device AI person detection — all for $50-80 (vs Ring $100-250). The catch: requires Wyze subscription for cloud features. Hardwired to existing doorbell transformer. No battery option.
Openness & Hackability
Locked to Wyze app. No local API. Cloud-dependent for AI features. Home Assistant has a community integration via Wyze API (unofficial). Cannot flash custom firmware. The hardware is capable but the ecosystem is closed.

Installation Quick Reference
Panel cutout: 22mm. Insert from the front of the panel, secure with mounting nut from behind (tighten to 2-3 Nm).
Contact block: Snap or screw the contact block onto the rear of the button body. Ensure the contact block orientation matches the wiring diagram — NO terminals are usually marked.
Wiring: Use 0.5-2.5mm² stranded wire with ferrules. Tighten screw terminals to 0.8 Nm. Test the button function before energizing the circuit.

Troubleshooting
Button doesn't respond when pressed
Check the contact block first — it's the most common failure point. Test continuity across the NO or NC terminals with a multimeter. If no click is felt, the return spring in the head may be broken.
Works intermittently
Contact block contacts are pitted or burned. Replace the contact block — don't try to file the contacts. Check if the rated cycle count has been exceeded.
Button feels mushy or doesn't click
The spring return mechanism in the button head is worn. Replace the head. The contact block can usually be reused if it tests OK.
