Do I need to put base a chime .. don't have a doorbell null

Hey there, Di! The doorbell can run on battery alone, but if you prefer it wired, it can be connected to doorbell system wires delivering 8 - 24 V AC, and at least 10 VA, 50/60Hz, worldwide. Make sure that power is sufficient, as some doorbell systems are incompatible or can’t deliver enough power. Alternatively, you can connect a Google speaker or display and set up visitor announcements if you want to get notified when someone rings your doorbell when you’re home. You'll only get visitor announcements on your speakers and displays if they are set up in the same home as your doorbell in the Home app. Learn more using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7672451. Also, if you have Alexa, Google offers a Smart Home skill for integrating your Nest devices with Amazon's Alexa home control. Alexa can announce when someone presses the doorbell or when the doorbell detects motion or events.

Not sure I quite understand the question, but if you meant do you need something else bc you don’t have a wired doorbell, you really only need your smartphone or a compatible device in your house that tells you when someone is at the door. I have a google nest hub.
