Whenever you notice connection issues on a device, the first and easiest thing to do is restart your router, I often try this trick when one of my devices has connection issues and believe me, it works.

Restarting your router can help fix some internet connectivity issues, from no internet to slow wireless connections. It will also fix bugs and errors that may affect the proper connection of your Eufy doorbell.

2. Wait around 60 seconds.

To ensure a smooth connection between your Eufy doorbell and your compatible Google Home device, such as a speaker, smart display or phone there is a crucial factor to consider which is maintaining a strong and stable Wifi signal that keeps them connected at all times.

You can ensure stable Wifi signals by moving the router to a location where all gadgets can receive the signal, or you can add an extender or set up a mesh network if you live in a larger house.

Solution 3: Update Your Google Home App.

Updating your Google Home app should also be on your list as this step is crucial to ensure that your app is up to date and capable of adapting to new changes, preventing any potential compatibility issues.

Luckily, the process is easy to implement, just follow the steps below:

Here’s how to do it on Android:

3. Tap your account.
4. Find the Google Home app and tap update.

Solution 4: Check Your Battery Level.

If you’re using the wireless version of the Eufy doorbell, then you should check the battery level. Why? Because when the battery runs out, the doorbell turns off automatically making it impossible to receive Google Home commands.

In this case, all you have to do is remove the doorbell from its holder and recharge it. Here is the process to follow in detail:

1. Use the doorbell detaching pin provided if you wish to detach the doorbell from the mounting bracket.
2. Press into the pinhole on top of the doorbell, and then lift the top for removal.

Important: The HomeBase 2 USB port is a 5V/2A USB charging port.

Solution 5: Connect To The Right Frequency Channel.

Another major cause that can prevent Eufy’s doorbell from working properly with Google Home is when the doorbell is connected to the wrong frequency channel.

Eufy has made 2.4 GHz in the list of requirements for using eufySecurity devices including their doorbell, so if you have a dual-band router that supports both 5 and 2.4 GHz at the same time, make sure to disable the 5 GHz when setting up the doorbell.

Put in mind that the 2.4 GHz frequency channel is prone to interference which may cause connectivity issues that affect your Eufy doorbell, so it’s important to take steps to minimize disruptions.

To reduce interference, keep wireless devices away from your doorbell, avoid microwave proximity, eliminate physical barriers and increase Wifi signal strength.
