I did a reset and it’s working again. For some reason the battery inside had died? Even though it’s on a net power of 12v. So God knows what happened. Maybe an internal software issue making the doorbell think it’s working of battery instead of power.

OK, may be you ask other owners from the EUFY-Forum
or you contact the EUFY-support.

Door bell go’s offline every few days.
I 'am getting crazy about this device.
My homebase is 2 mtr from my door bell and the wifi signal is high and stable.
I don’t now what i can do to make this thing work stable.
Resetting the connection every few days is not normal. :rage:

I’m facing the same problem since the new firmware (2.2.3.3) has been installed. therefore it was working fine and I didn’t had any problems. Does anybody have any solution yet?

I tried everything except resetting. Resetting is possible when i am back at home. (“Enjoying” my vacation right now)

I came home and guess what? Battery is dead…
Tried a other cable and even a usb adapter but nothing happen. Holding the sync button for 10 seconds and even that wouldn’t help. :frowning:

You could also use the magnifier (search option) in the right upper corner to get a better answer tor your issue.

There are more users that had the same problem as me.
Tech support only asking the same questions over and over again about the internet connection.
It’s in my opinion not the internet connection but the bad software.
I have a good and stable connection and still the doorbell go’s a few times a week offline.
The software will not reconnect but the users has to do that manualy every time.
A getting crazy about this device because when it go’s offline there is no massage and when someone stands at my door and the bell is offline and don’t now that.

Do you have the battery doorbell or powered? Some instances of it going offline has to do with lack of power coming in

just emailed them this My kit all eufy crap
3 doorbells none more than 20 feet from a base keeps losing signal TOTALY UNFIT FOR PURPOSE
2 x 2k cameras ONE THAT
1 ptz camera ISONLY 8 FEET FROM BASE SEEMS IT WORKS MOST OF THE TIME
2 x base 2

CONCLUSION

your kit is useless for anyone that lives in a house with doors that they close

the experienced range is
8 feet for staying connected 80%
over feet with door closed FU*****ing forget it

WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION TO GET THIS LOT WORKING RELIABLY?

It’s sad that, after a year, this still isn’t solved. We have laptops, smartphones, a tablet, a google home speaker, a philips hue bridge and our heating, all connected to the wifi and everything works perfectly. When something goes out of range, it reconnects when in range. Even our Eufy security cam keeps its connection.
Everything except the Eufy doorbell.
Any decent programmer would make a product that tries to reconnect after it loses connection, but not for this doorbell.
I tried everything, fixing wifi channels on all possibilities (1-6-11), putting the bell next to the homestation, etc. Nothing helps. What improved it slightly is connecting the homebase itself via wifi instead of wired, but it increased stable connection times from 1 day to 3 days, give or take. But then I still need to bring the bell inside and try to reconnect it. Which it completely refuses now, so we have to send the unit back.

72 replies and many posts on reddit and elsewhere about this issue. Absolutely frustrating that there is no fix for this. Just a simple firmware update where your doorbell just automatically resynces would be an easy fix but they don’t care. I was allowed to return the bell after almost a year and it feels such a relief to be done with this product. Its unfinished and just terrible that they haven’t fixed this. I am now looking into different brands. So happy I got my money back. Worst buy ever! Usually anker products are good but not this one

I have the same problem that my doorbell kept disconnecting and disapearing from my device list.
After reading these posts I came across somebody that wrote about the top screw in the holder you mount on the wall.
As the provided screws are crap I used my own and they didn’t fit as nicely as the original once. The top screw was not totally flush and my guess is it touch the sync button on the backside of the doorbell. I was able to screw it in a bit more and now it was flush.

After remounting the doorbell is stayed connected. It has been a week now without problem, before it went away between a few minutes and a few hours, a day. One time I noticed the doorbell beeped before disapairing, just like when connecting to the Homebase. So I think this might be the solution for part of the problem discribde here.
