TD21 Doorbell Stuck in Red → Orange → Red → White Loop (Won’t Connect to App)
Hi all,
Hoping someone here can help with my TD21 doorbell as it has suddenly stopped behaving.
It was working fine before (our Wi-Fi is a bit weak, but it still managed). A few days ago it stopped connecting to the Tapo app entirely, and now it keeps running through the same light pattern over and over:
- Flashing red for about 10 seconds
- Solid orange for about 1 second
- Solid red for about 1 second
- Solid white for around 10 seconds
…and then it goes straight back to flashing red and repeats the whole cycle.
I’ve tried every reset option I can think of:
- Letting the battery fully drain
- Charging it to full
- Holding the reset button for 5 seconds
- Holding it for 10 seconds
- Holding it for 20 seconds
None of these do anything. I also can’t get it to connect to the app, so I can’t change any settings or run a proper reset from there.
Does anyone know what the next step is when just holding the reset button doesn't work? I’d really appreciate any guidance.
Thanks!
