Troubleshooting
Doorbell not connecting to Wi-Fi
Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4GHz network (not 5GHz). Verify your Wi-Fi password is correct and that the doorbell is within range of your router. Restart your router and the doorbell.
No motion detection alerts received
Check that motion detection is enabled in the Hombli app settings. Adjust the sensitivity levels and ensure the detection zones are configured correctly to cover the desired areas.
Poor video quality or disconnections
Ensure your Wi-Fi signal is strong at the doorbell's location. Check for network congestion. Clean the camera lens. If using battery power, ensure the battery is sufficiently charged.
Two-way audio not working
Verify that microphone and speaker permissions are granted to the Hombli app on your smartphone. Check if the doorbell is connected to Wi-Fi and has sufficient battery power. Ensure no other application is using the microphone.
Video not recording to microSD card
Ensure the microSD card is formatted correctly (FAT32 recommended) and is inserted properly. Verify the card is not full and that recording is enabled in the app settings. Try a different microSD card if issues persist.
