Can You Answer The Eufy Doorbell On An Apple Watch?

The Eufy Doorbell is a smart doorbell that allows you to answer the door, as well as see who is at your door before you answer. This small little gadget may seem like just what every homeowner needs. But what if you don’t have your phone with you, or you are not at home when someone approaches your home? Can this doorbell send notifications to other smart devices? More specifically, can you answer the Eufy Doorbell using your Apple Watch? 

The Eufy Video Doorbells are not compatible with the Apple HomeKit, but you can receive some features such as notifications on your Apple Watch using a special application from Eufy. This does not grant the ability to answer the door in real-time but does provide you with the option to pre-record messages to respond to deliveries. 

In this article, we will explore which features of the Eufy Doorbell can be accessed on the Apple Watch, as well as some of the other notable features the Eufy Doorbell has that you can use to benefit you in your home! 

What Features Can We Access On the Apple Watch? 

While you cannot use your Apple Watch to answer the Eufy Doorbell, you can use the Apple Watch in conjunction with the Eufy Security App to receive notifications via your Watch. The most notable feature is the addition of the option to have video clips sent to your Watch via text to view footage from your Eufy Doorbell. While these clips are not live footage, it is still a highly useful function when you are away from your home. 

You can also pre-record three messages to use in response to these notifications, which you can send via text to play on your Doorbell. 

What Do I Need To Know If I Use The Eufy App With My Apple Watch? 

There are, however, a few things you must keep in mind when using the Apple Watch in conjunction with the Eufy app that we’ve listed below: 

• You cannot enable the Eufy Video Doorbell to work with Homekit. The Eufy Cameras can connect with Homekit, but the Doorbell is not included, though Apple is considering the addition.

• It is recommended that you make sure you are running the latest version of iOS on your iPhone and Apple Watch when using the Eufy App with your cams or Doorbells, as users have reported the loss of features and functions for earlier versions of iOS. 
• The banner notification in the settings of the Eufy app must be enabled for the watch notification thumbnail to show up on the Apple Watch.
• The Doorbell does not support IFTTT applets, which is why the full range of features may not work on all Apple devices equally. 

Are There Other Smart Watches That Are Compatible With The Eufy Doorbell? 

The Eufy Video Doorbell is a notable third-party device that communicates well with both Amazon and Google devices. This means that its compatibility with smart devices that use Android is far greater than the Doorbell’s compatibility with Apple. However, this shines through when it comes to one manufacturer, in particular, one that is often overlooked when speaking of smart tech. 

Fitbit has come a long way in terms of smart home connectivity and the Versa 2 comes with Alexa as a built-in feature. This means that the Fitbit can fully utilize Alexa to communicate with your Eufy Doorbell using Alexa as the bridge between the two devices. 

To connect your Eufy Doorbell to the Versa 2 is accomplished by simply following the instructions provided for each device. Then, the Alexa Voice commands you set up to work for the Eufy Doorbell will work with your Fitbit Versa 2. This allows you to receive notifications in rich text format up to and including the Eufy Doorbell’s video clip notifications, as well as using Alexa to answer your doorbell using your Fitbit.

Conclusion

So what does this all mean? You can use the power of your Apple Watch to answer and interact with the Eufy doorbell. The benefits are that you’ll never miss a package, guest, or birthday party because it’s so easy for people to get in touch with you through texts, videos, and calls on your watch! These features may be helpful if you’re at work or just out running errands around town–all while still being able to keep an eye on things from home.
