2021 doorbell, 'chime' options.

Currently voice announces 'person at the door'. 
(Call me old fashioned) - I'd like to set a sound (chime if you will), specific to the doorbell.

One that is heard on the home devices, maybe even on my smart phone.

Seems this is not yet possible - unless you know differently?

Yes I am also interested to hear of any ways smartphone ringing or different alert sound. . . .must be possible someway?

Not the easiest of options:

I happened to have a Raspberry Pi tiny computer. https://www.home-assistant.io/  has software which will access Google home kit and enable actions, one of which I hope will be to play an mp3 file.
  Complexity (over complexity?) is setting up oauth2, the security aspects of accessing Google services. 
So far, 3 hours and not yet finished. 
I will report progress as I make it.

Hey folks,

 

There is no option to change the Chime sound, or alert sound or anything of the sort. This has been the same with previous camera models as well. Terribly sorry for the inconvenience. 

 

Best Regards,

Brad.
