This feature is not possible, since it would require too much power to continuously record, even if the doorbell is connected to the mains. Traditional doorbell cables do not supply enough power for this to be viable.

This is feature not available yet, but it will be an option in the Hombli app in the future. The volume of the Hombli Smart Doorbell Chime can be customized by pressing the volume button repeatedly. The Chime then changes between the four volume positions and will memorize the selected volume level, even when it is unplugged from a power outlet.

How theft-proof is the Hombli Smart Doorbell? Can a thief do something with it after it has been stolen?

If the doorbell is stolen, the thief can’t do anything with it. The doorbell is linked (in the cloud) to the person who added the device to the Hombli app. When someone resets the doorbell and attempts to add the device to the Hombli app a notification will appear that the doorbell is already linked and must first be disconnected by the original owner. The thief can contact us and request to disconnect the product from the original owner, but in this case we have his contacts and if necessary we can take steps to return the Smart Doorbell to the original owner.

There is a loud sound coming from my Smart Doorbell 2, what does this mean?

This is the anti-theft alarm which goes off if the Smart Doorbell 2 is moved. Once the doorbell is secured to your doorpost, it will only go off if someone tries to remove the doorbell.

Which wire voltage is compatible with the Hombli Smart Doorbell 2?

The Hombli Smart Doorbell 2 can be powered by doorbell transformer wires that deliver between 16V and 24V.

Can the Hombli Smart Doorbell recognize people and show who is at the door via a notification?

At the moment this is not yet possible. We are developing this feature and hope to add it as soon as possible to the Hombli app with an update.

How do I connect a Hombli device to my dual-band router?

If your router is broadcasting wifi in 2.4GHz and 5GHz at the same time, it is still possible to add Hombli devices to your wifi. As you probably know our devices will only connect to 2.4GHz, and it will try to connect to the frequency your phone is connected to at the time of pairing. If you are close to the router, the 5GHz signal is probably stronger, so your phone will likely connect to that frequency, and will try to add the Hombli device to the same frequency causing the connection between your router and the Hombli device to fail. Possible solutions are:
1. Splitting the frequencies in your router.
By giving the wifi networks your router creates different names, e.g.: "Home wifi 2.4GHz", and "Home wifi 5GHz" This can likely be set up in your router, although this is not the case for all routers. Check your router settings, or the manual for the router if this is an option for you.
2. Disabling 5GHz in your router settings.
If there is no 5GHz network, your phone cannot connect to it.
3. Disabling connections to 5GHz in your phone settings.
Some phones have the option to only connect to 2.4GHz networks. That way you are also sure to connect to the right type of network for Hombli devices. After pairing your Hombli device, you can turn this option off again in your phone, so your phone can connect to 5GHz networks again. Check your phone settings, or the manual for your phone if this is an option for you.
4. Connecting to your router on your phone, while being further away from your router
This might sound like a bit of Dark Magic, but it might be the simplest option, no changing of any options required! The difference between 2.4GHz and 5Ghz is that 5Ghz is stronger closer to the router, but 2.4GHz has a further reach. So if you stand further away from your router, your phone will be more likely to choose the 2.4Ghz network.
To summarize: please make sure your phone is connected to your router via a 2.4GHz frequency, before adding a Hombli device.
We hope this helps to explain it clearly for you, but please let us know if any questions remain!
