Door bell chime, or not
My door bell doesn't ring the chime unless the door is open, so frankly fails in the bell part of its name.
I've moved the chime as close to the door as possible, about 1.5m, it has a strong connection and the video is clear. It's on the door frame with a window to the side so the door construction shouldn't be an issue, but it just won't chime unless the door is open.
Anyone pushing the bell hears a chime outside so they then don't even knock if we don't answer!
It would be helpful if the app alerted to a press in a more, ahem, alerting way, but no it's the same push notification as every time someone walks in or out or near the door.
So sadly my conclusion is this doorbell is useless as a bell. It's coming off and I'll use it as a camera somewhere.
Thankfully the insurance cost no more than my previous policy. Quite a fail Sky, you should drop this offering I reckon
