Model: Tapo D235  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.14

I installed the D235 doorbell today and noticed that Live Call feature is not working for me (using the latest version of the app on Smasung S24 and S21).

 

I did some troubleshooting to figure out what could be causing this. I ensured that all the app permissions are set according to the grant permissions in app guide. I noticed that I wouldn't even get normal notifications for the doorbell press action (when turning off the Live Call feature). I would still get notification for other events like motion detection etc. But not the doorbell press.

 

By trail and error I figured out that what is causing this is the Doorbell Press Announcement feature in my Alexa account. If I turn it off, the app in the phone starts working as expected.

 

Can you please look into this as it would be great to be notified about the press on both phone and my Alexa Show.

 

Let me know if you need any more details.

 

Thanks!

Sorry, since I wrote this post I found another where this issue was connected to having ONVIF enabled on the doorbell. Turning off Alexa Notifications would help a little but was still inconsistent (after some time, like 30 min or so, the doorpress would stop triggering video calls on phones). Today I received 1.1.6 firmware update and it looks like the issue is resolved, at least for the live call (doorbell press notifications were still not showing up when I first tested them but I'm less concerned about that as I prefer to use video call).

What error do you receive when using the voice call? Please share more details about the problem phenomenon here.

 

Do you have a microSD card on the doorbell? Enable the Diagnostics mode, reproduce the problem then export a log for further analysis. How to get the log of Tapo Camera
