Sometimes the app might have glitches that cause this kind of issue. So, you should try a few steps to remove the app cache and bugs.
You can remove the app cache by going to the app settings and forcing quit it to refresh the app.

Suppose the Wyze chime is still not connected even if you’ve tried the force-stop method and removing caches. You should look for the app version; it should run on the latest version.
Because outdated app versions can cause some kind of problem or show incorrect data. Manufacturers release updates to fix these malfunctioning and remove bugs.

1. Locate the circuit breaker at your home.
2. Flip the breaker switch to the “off” position.
3. Let it turn off for about a minute.
4. Flip the switch back to its “on” position.
6. Check Doorbell Firmware
The doorbell is essential in this connecting process; if the doorbell is malfunctioning or having trouble, it can cause this.
So, you should ensure that the doorbell is running on an up-to-date firmware version; it will ensure it works correctly.

7. Check Internet Connection
When the chime isn’t responding even after correctly connecting to the Wyze app, you should ensure the doorbell is connected to a strong Wi-Fi network.
A Wi-Fi connection is essential in sending or receiving notifications and using other communication features on your Wyze doorbell.
If the doorbell isn’t receiving enough signals that can help in sending signals to the chime, you will face the issue until not fixing the network issues.
Here are a few troubleshooting steps to fix the Wi-Fi network problems.
1. Change Bandwidth Frequency
If you have a Wi-Fi router with dual bandwidth frequencies, you should try switching it between 2.4 and 5Ghz frequencies; may one of them help resolve network issues.
2. Place Closer
If the router is placed far from the doorbell, it will cause weak Wi-Fi signals. So, you should try re-placing and moving it closer to the doorbell.
Your Wyze doorbell can work correctly in the 2 meters range of your router. However, this range can be affected by several environmental or other factors.
3. Reboot & Reset
If the network is still not fixed, you should try power cycling and resetting the router. It will help you in removing the device glitches and refresh it.
To power cycle, you should unplug the power plug of your router and replug it in the power outlet after a minute.
On the other hand, you can reset it by pressing and holding the reset button with the help of a paperclip or other similar tool for about 15 seconds.
