“I know the battery operated version of this doorbell works with existing mechanical chimes. Does this new wired version support existing mechanical chimes? I can't find this doorbell on the Eufy website, is this for Best Buy only?”

It doesn't support mechanical chimes, but I've heard that a few will still work for some reason. The reason is that you have to modify the wiring to send continuous power to the doorbell. For a battery operated one, the power coming from the battery is all it needs so it can let the power coming from the system trickle through to charge it without setting off the chime then let it get full power and activate the chime when the doorbell is pressed. Making it battery powered completely changes how they can run the system and if they can use the mechanical chime.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can't answer the Best Buy exclusivity question, but I can tell you it does not work with mechanical chimes. Or at least I've found no way for it to do so. It does, however, come with an electronic chime that connects wirelessly and plugs into any standard electrical outlet.
