Troubleshooting

Chime not connecting to the Hue system

Ensure your Philips Hue Bridge is connected to your network and powered on. Check that the Smart Chime is within range of the Bridge. Try unplugging the chime, waiting 10 seconds, and plugging it back in. If problems persist, reset the chime and re-add it via the Hue app.

No sound when doorbell rings

Verify that the chime is plugged in and powered on. Check the volume settings in the Philips Hue app and ensure it is not set to mute or the lowest level. Confirm that the chime is correctly paired with your doorbell in the app.

Light alarm not triggering

Ensure that Hue lights are configured to work with the chime and that the light alarm feature is enabled in the app. Check that the associated Hue lights are powered on and properly connected to your Hue system.

App notifications not received

Make sure notifications are enabled for the Philips Hue app in your smartphone's settings. Check your Wi-Fi connection and ensure the Hue Bridge is online. Restart the Hue app and your smartphone.
