This video has saved my ass BOTH times I had to install the camera at two different houses. Thank you. 23:02 this is huge for anyone installing this damn thing
Great first video. Glad I spent the time watching someone install a Logi Circle Doorbell Cam in a tough spot. Mine should be easier, but I’ll need to make a custom wedge block, too, I believe. Your chime kit issue gave me a good heads up. My house is also about 20 years old with a very similar analog door bell system. Thanks, Brad!
I know im asking randomly but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Anson Rey i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
The pairing issue is very normal. The way to solve is to setup a sole 2.4GHz Wi-Fi channel and make your phone connect to it and then to pair. I setup a non-broadcasting 2.4GHz channel Wi-Fi specially for my smart home devices, then I tried again and the doorbell paired in HomeKit immediately. Now, most new modems provide a combined Wi-Fi that includes both 2.4 and 5 GHz, which confuses the automatic network recognition of the doorbell. Most smart home devices only support 2.4GHz or better support 2.4GHz in a combined channel.
I dont know why anyone would hit the thumbs down button. The video is great and easy to follow, thank you for doing a good job and posting it! I will be using it to replace my doorbell!
Have a look at the other videos for this doorbell. They should help with the installation. For one thing, the wires that come with the Logitech doorbell are for the chime in your home, not for extending the original wires from the existing doorbell. The directions are online and walk you through very easily. It took 15 min. to get set up and going. Also, there was a command strip to attach the chime piece to the chime. Glad you got it working, but it really could have been a better video.
Thanks Milly, that’s a great point about the command strip. I didn’t see it, but that could work well for attaching the chime adapter to the existing chime. I didn’t have room, but it could work well for someone else.
I believe it is this one. www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-Wired-Door-Bell-Tri-Volt-Transformer-Compatible-with-All-Video-Door-Bells-HB-125-03/304225255
I'm about to send back my 2nd defective doorbell, they work for a few weeks then they stop working, the first one I would have to factory reset every few weeks, and re-add to the homekit, this one lasted about a month total and it's bricked, I cannot even factory reset it. One thing I noticed is, your doorbell functions way better than mine, I have a brand new transformer, tested at 24v, and when you activate the normal doorbell it doesn't "bing bong" it just "bings" any thoughts if by chance somehow what could be causing the doorbell chime to not work well, and eventually self destructing the doorbell.
Lots of people have started reporting issues now that it’s summer. The heat and sun are making these devices unusable. I have a large overlap with my roof, so the sun never hits it and it’s fine.
I just must have gotten lucky with mine. It’s all over the internet now that these are not working well in hot weather. Hopefully Logitech sends out a recall.
