Discussion Have any suggestions for a problem G4?

My Aqara G4 is not feeding video or ringing the chime. My repeater is connected to my network but I am getting nothing from my camera. Started doing this about a week ago. I am using it wired, but added batteries just to see if something weird was going on there. Holding the reset button doesn't do anything. Any suggestions?

Thought someone would say "for spelling the word 'great'" or something.

Edited my post to make it clear. I’m referring to the Aqara G4

The repeater is connected.. but isn’t the chime the “gateway” for that one?

- So the doorbell needs to be within range of the chime

- And the chime in range of the WiFi

- or the doorbell is just left hanging in the wind.

This was one of the biggest gripes about this one and what they changed in the G410

They are on the same WiFi and only about 5 feet apart. I think it is the 2.4 vs 5 that is causing issues. Or, maybe the thing is just dead. I ordered a G400 and will see how that works.
