Update:Mechanical doorbell still doesn’t work but…
Don’t waist your time or money. This bypassed my old doorbell and was not clear that the old doorbell would no longer work.
Why did they do this?!? I bought this to replace the button outside my house and the camera was a nice feature but my tplink $30 camera was just fine and half the price. The worst part for me is I just don’t understand why they would do this. The more I think about it the more it bugs me. This is going back for sure.
Update: Amazon did a clear job providing adequate information in letting purchaser know this system bypasses existing doorbell chime that was not present at time of release. They also allow Alexa devices to announce when someone presses the button. For that you have earned another star. However I still struggle with the idea of a company called “ring” with a single push button that does not ring my existing doorbell, why? Your company name is ring yet you cannot ring my doorbell Seriously the doorbell chime doesn’t ring… Mind blown,It still bugs me. Want so bad to love this product and want to give it a higher rating but I just can’t do it because it will not ring the doorbell!!!
