Why can't you buy a Tapo chime *only* WITHOUT a doorbell??
Why isn't it possible to buy Tapo chimes individually - WITHOUT a doorbell??
I only need one doorbell - as I only have one front door - but I have a large house and am not always within earshot of the single chime supplied.
I need chimes in the rooms I use regularly but I've searched and can't find them on sale individually ANYWHERE. 🤬
Fortunately(??), the first doorbell I purchased (from Amazon) developed a fault, so I returned it - forgetting to include the chime - and so now have two chimes, which I've located as expediently as possible in my house. But there are still many occasions when I've missed deliveries, etc because I just didn't hear the chime when it sounded.
I would have assumed that you could simply buy as many chimes as required and add them to your alarm network. But this appears not to be the case...
It's utterly *RIDICULOUS* that you can't just buy the chimes individually, as and when you need them...! 🤬

Hi,
We understand that with a larger house, having only two Tapo chimes may result in some areas not hearing the chime sound. Currently, we do not sell Tapo chimes separately. However, we recommend considering the purchase of a Tapo Hub (such as the Tapo H100 or H200). The Tapo Hub can work with the doorbell camera as an additional ringing device, providing a more comprehensive alert system throughout your space.
Take the Tapo H100 as an example. You can refer to the following instructions to set up the Tapo H100 and add it as a chime for the doorbell camera.

Hi,
The Tapo H100 can be used as a chime in conjunction with the Tapo D210. However, if you intend to use the Tapo hub as a Wi-Fi backup or to store camera videos on the built-in SD card in the hub, you should opt for the Tapo H200 or H500 instead (How to connect Tapo Wi-Fi Cameras/doorbells with Tapo Hub).
For optimal performance and functionality, consider the following:
Tapo H100: Recommended for basic chime functionality.
Tapo H200/H500: Recommended for advanced features like Wi-Fi backup and video storage.
Best regards

Thanks for getting back to me.
I looked into the H100 prior to sending my message to you, as it seemed to be the perfect solution.
However, upon consulting the Rufus feature on Amazon, it explicitly stated that the H100 was NOT compatible with the D210.
(It surprises me that you didn't appear to be aware of this fact when you suggested the product to me.)
Though you reiterated that the D100 chime is not available to purchase separately, you did not state *WHY* this is the case, as clearly it would be logical to sell them individually for the reasons I outlined previously.
If - as I assume - it's all to do with maximising revenue (at the expense of customer convenience & satisfaction, I might add 😖), then you should at least provide a viable alternative product - and one which *IS* compatible with the product in question...!

I'm really only interested in getting the chime functionality for a reasonable price rather than all the hub stuff that you state isn't supported by the H100.
I'll order one from Amazon on the basis that you say the D210 *will* work with it for chime-only functionality.
Thanks for your help.
