D225 Doorbell Issue
I recently installed my new Tapo D225 doorbell and hardwired it to my existing doorbell wiring but it does not seem to be charging. I checked the voltage on the wires feeding the doorbell and it is reading 18V. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

@NCSU86 Did you install the jumper into your chime? I am looking into purchasing the doorbell and notice this was a step during installation. Otherwise- how are you like the doorbell?

@NCSU86 I did not install the jumper wire as I am not using the "always on" feature. I am currently fully charger the battery and will reinstalled with it hardwired to see if that helps. May try the jumper option if it continues not to work.

Same issue , will not ring old chime, just installed.
Replaced ring camera which was using power device to detect voltage change to and activate chime.
Seems that some thing is not designed to create short time signal to chime like contact short
Please provide solution for old chime.

I had this same issue and called support and they were very surprised saying they'd not heard of this particular issue before.
Tried reinstalling, resettting, etc. No change...even though it showed hardwired the battery was draining and pretty quickly due to an onslaught of triggers as school let our in our neighborhood.
Decided to use the jumper, and still had issues.
Put it into "Always On" mode and boom! Works like a champion. Battery is grayed out and hasn't drained at all.
Oddly, now I can't turn off "Always On" mode. I have toggled it off several times, but every time I exit the screen, it shows I'm in "Always On" mode.
