Firmware Version: 1.2.2

Hello!

 

Recently I got a D235 doorbell, which is great device (except for the issue I experience). However since the beginning I have not been able to get the doorbell call to work. Initially I had the doorbell set up with just the D100C chime, but yesterday I got a H200 hub as well (which unfortunately has made not difference). I am not using a NAS or something like that, although I have a Home Assistant setup (but I don't expect that to interfere). I have tried and checked many things:

 

  • Checked all the notification settings in the mobile app (tried multiple devices)
  • Changed from doorbell call to push notification
  • Reset the device and added it again
  • Changed the resolution of the camera 
  • Added a H200 hub which is now the main connection for the doorbell, the hub has a wired connection to my router

 

Some things I have noticed:

  • The motion detection notifications do work when you turn them on
  • I have set up an automation in the Tapo app that sends me a notification in case the doorbell rings, that also works
  • I tried to add the doorbell in Home Assistant, but I can only find the chime and the hub. When I add the doorbell through the ip address directly, it seems to find it but gives an error message after I enter my credentials. 

 

Hopefully someone can help and there's a solution possible!

Please make sure the doorbell’s Activity Notification feature is enabled. If you don't want to receive detection notifications, uncheck the specific types under 'Activity Type', but the Activity Notifications setting itself must remain turned on. How to configure the Notification feature for the Tapo & Kasa devices on the Tapo app

 

Do you see any doorbell-press notifications in the app's notification center (App homepage > upper-right corner)? Can you receive the doorbell-press notification when the app is open?

  @Wayne-TP thanks for the reply! I have turned them back on and now I see the doorbell notification in the notification center. It seems like the call is working now as well, although it seemed like it only worked on my phone when on the same network, but I'll test that a bit more.
