Hi Scott.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having your Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Gen.) alert you to any wanted or unwanted activity around your home. The features and technology provided by the Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Gen.) are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We would like to provide you with solutions to the concerns you are experiencing today!

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. The Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Gen.) is designed to work with your existing compatible in-home chime. To enable your in-home chime, please follow these steps in the Ring app: Open the Ring app. Tap the menu (☰), then tap Devices. Tap on your Ring Wired Doorbell Plus. Tap Device Settings. Select In-Home Chime Settings. Tap the toggle to turn on or turn off your in-home doorbell chime. If the toggle is blue, the feature is turned on. If the toggle is white, the feature is turned off. Tap Save in the upper right to save your changes.
If your doorbell is functioning but you can’t hear your internal chime, there are several possible reasons. A Ring doorbell that’s hardwired should ring your internal doorbell if it:
*Has adequate power from the transformer
*Is wired properly
*Is set up in the Ring app and is connected to the appropriate chime type.
*Is using a compatible chime kit.

For your safety, only use an existing doorbell transformer within the range specified below or compatible Ring accessories to power your device. For connecting to an existing doorbell system use a hardwired transformer (16 to 24 VAC, 50/60Hz, 10VA to 40VA). Using incompatible power sources can damage your device and cause electric shock. To identify which type or doorbell chime you have, listen to the sound it makes.

A mechanical chime uses a physical bell and a mechanical hammer and makes a traditional ding-dong sound. A digital chime plays pre-recorded digital tones through an electronic speaker and often has a selection of different tones you can choose from. A mechanical chime has traditional short ding-dong sound. A digital chime has a longer, more melodic sound. If you're unsure what type of doorbell chime you have, remove the front of your chime box and look inside for a bell and hammer or an electronic speaker.
