Summary:
Using a wired Ring Doorbell with a wireless chime is not possible, but you can use a Ring Chime or Chime Pro wifi extender with it, or connect it to an Echo (Alexa) device. On the other hand, a wireless doorbell can work with a wired doorbell by using an STI Wireless Doorbell Extender that connects to the existing wired system and extends a new chime to hard-to-hear areas. To connect a wireless chime to your doorbell, simply press the Add button and wait for the light on the chime to stop blinking, indicating successful pairing. Ring Doorbell Wired is compatible with various chimes, such as the Ring Video Doorbell Pro Chime Kit included in the compatibility list. The difference between mechanical and digital doorbell chimes lies in their functioning, with mechanical chimes having moving parts that produce the classic “ding dong” noise, while electronic chimes have speakers that play sounds or melodies. If your Ring doorbell is not ringing inside your house, it could be due to not setting it up in the Ring app or being disconnected from wifi. Changing a wired doorbell to wireless involves turning off the power, removing the old doorbell button, installing a new wireless button, and placing the indoor receiver. Some disadvantages of a wired doorbell include more complicated installation compared to wireless ones and the potential need for an upgraded transformer in older homes.
