Roku Doorbell - Solar Panel Option

Roku, when are you going to offer a solar panel for the video doorbell?   On Amazon I see plenty of solar enclosures for Ring and other offerings but nothing for Roku.

The reason I ask is while I am impressed with the battery life of the doorbell it is a bit of a pain to take it off the mount and charge it.   I have two other of your cameras, both use solar panels - why not the doorbell?

    Hi LC6529,

    Thank you for posting here in the Roku Community!

    We will be more than happy to assist you further. Please be advised that the Roku solar panels are designed only for the Roku Outdoor Camera. However, if you decide you'd rather have continuous power and you have an existing doorbell, you can connect your Roku Wire-Free Video Doorbell to your doorbell wiring.

    We hope this helps.

    Best regards,
    John

      Hello,

       

      When is the Rokuy Solar Panel back in stock? I want to purchase an Outdoor Camera, but need the solar panel for my setup. Both your Roku online store and Walmart say they are sold out.

       

      Thanks, R

        I bought the Wyze solar panel from Amazon since they were out of stock and it works great.

      What if you don't have door bell wiring to hook it up to ? I have never had a door bell before until now. So how can I hook it up to a previous door bell when there isn't one ? Why can't we get a solar panel for the roku wireless doorbell / camera ?

    I’ve noticed other brands offer solar solutions for their doorbells, so it would be great if Roku could add that feature. It would save a lot of time and make things much more convenient.
