YOU SIR ARE BRILLIANT __ THANK YOU! After two new transformers, a whole lot of "double checking" the wiring and a couple of dozen RU-vid videos....we have a three doorbell system (two NEST, one traditional) that would not ring the indoor chime. NOW....everything works!
I finally won back my wifes affection because of this video. After months of incessant nagging about our lack of a doorbell, i finally sleep in peace. I am forever in your debt, sir.
Worked Perfect as instructed. Mechanical chime wasn't working. Made a weird vibrating noise when Enabled at 3 seconds, but when turned off it worked perfectly. I don't leave many comments, but THANK YOU for your time sharing !!! Hit that Like Button...
This ABSOLUTELY SOLVED MY ISSUE! Moved into a new home a year ago and had been thinking my transformer was possibly the issue. Thanks for putting out this video!
Your suggestion to set the electric chime duration, even though my chime is mechanical, has solved the problem for me. Thank you for the suggestion! I believe this means my doorbell is slowly dying, but if this buys me another few years, great.
BRO THIS SAVED MY LIFE. EASIEST SOLUTION I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!! You literally have saved me from burning this dang house down. I was so frustrated. Also i am 34 years old. Please make more tutorials.
Yes! Yes! I also thought I had suddenly become an idiot after installing everything per the instructions, but no chime. So nuts! Thank you for posting the solution. Greatly appreciate it!
Amazing. Struggled for hrs. Followed everything and uninstalled and reinstalled. No luck. Your video saved me. Well done and thank you for doing the video !!!
Thank you very much! I had both a front and rear Google Nest Hello installed. The front worked fine, until I installed the rear; then neither would activate the chime (although the local doorbell, blue ring, camera, and phone notifications worked fine). I found this and followed it, and presto, problem solved. Thank you so much for sharing!
Dude that made it work!!! Thank you! I think they screwed something up with the updates because mine was working a month ago and all of the sudden it stopped functioning until I did what you said. Thanks for taking the time and making this video! 😉
Thanks, we have been fussing with this for weeks. I got a warranty replacement of my Nest doorbell months ago. Those settings on ours were off. Bless You!!!!!
Thank you. I did not realize there was a setting for the indoor chime to work. Thank you for this video. I have the battery one that can also be wired.
This worked for me. Wish I had found it before other videos I watched and followed that directed me to undo and redo all of the wiring-those still left the chime working randomly. This made it consistent.
Thank you so much, I did the electronic chime setting and it started working right away! I've been trying so many different things for the past few hours.
Thank you. I just needed to find the "Indoor Chime On/Off" toggle. Now I need to figure out how to solve the feedback issue when I want to talk through the push button. There is a really bad chirp.
Finally. Anyone wondering, I have no indoor chime but my app was no longer notifying me when someone pressed the doorbell. I turned chime off in settings, not the doorbell rings outside and app notifies me like it used too!
Thank you! This worked for me today with the wired generation two nest doorbell. I had same symptoms as the video and this trick worked like a charm thanks!
Yes! This solved the same problem I had when I installed my new wired Nest Hello today. At first the indoor (mechanical) chime worked fine, but then stopped. This solved the problem. Thank you.
Had the same issue. Can anyone explain why this is the case? I followed the video and this helped me fix my indoor chime. On and off in the app and now it works. Thanks again this was very helpful!
Worked for me. My mechanical chime wasn't working before changing the chime duration setting to electric, the duration to 1 or 2 seconds. 🤷 Working now, Thanks!
omg, garbage doorbell that can't even just work as a doorbell... Thank you my doorbell randomly stopped chiming and the indoor chim was always on with a mechanical chime as well. Came across your video turned and tried that setting on and off and the chime is working again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!!! We installed our doorbell today & could not get it to work- your video saved us. Thank you!!!
Thanks, I will try this tonight when I go home, I hope it will work for me, I installed the Google wired doorbell 2nd Gen, and everything works but no Chime on my Mechanical Chime.
Brilliant! Saved me from buying a new chime, although I had already changed the transformer, which may, or may not have been necessary. Thanks again, although does lessen my confidence in Google engineering.
I just installed the latest Google hello V2. As I powered it on the first time (before setting it up) I rang it to check the mechanical old chime still worked and it did. After a day of setting up and testing a neighbor came by and there was no mechanical chime. Long story short I had my wife watch the mechanical chime while I pressed the Hello V2 button. The solenoid moved slightly and there was no noise. There was nothing in the way of the movement. From that I deduced the software and wiring was right but the voltage was a little low so I am replacing the 24 VAC transformer. I will reply to give you the result.
I fixed it but the voltage wasn't the problem. After changing the doorbell transformer it still didn't work. I looked at the settings for the doorbell and there is one that says "Have an electronic chime?". I had "Yes" selected. The definition of "electronic" is rather imprecise. Mine is the old style electronic solenoid that uses electric fields to move a mechanical striker to hit a bar that sounds like a "bell". Setting this to "No" means the whole voltage is put across the solenoid and the bar is struck. Now it works fine.
Awesome it worked! Wtf so much time I’ve been wo a bell since I figured needed a new chime due to it worked for months just fine. Was about to pick one up and tried this. So glad I watched thanks!
