Hi ChrisA.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

At Ring, we understand it is essential to have your Ring Wired Doorbell Plus online and working properly so you can keep your home secure. The features and technology provided by the Ring Wired Doorbell Plus are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We would love the opportunity to work with you to ensure your device is online and working as intended.

It sounds like your Ring Wired Doorbell fell offline, and you are having trouble reconnecting it. It is possible that your wired Ring device may not be receiving enough power or that the wires may not be securely attached. The Ring Wired Doorbell Plus requires a hardwired connection with a power supply of 16–24 VAC, 50–60 Hz.

If the device is receiving enough power but is failing to connect to wifi, your Ring device could be too far from your wifi router, or your Ring Chime Pro or wifi extender may be unplugged. Try rebooting your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds, then plugging it back in again. Your device should automatically reconnect. Visit our support center if you're still having trouble reconnecting your device.

Ring Community was launched to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors. This online forum is divided into four categories: Product Boards, Ring Updates, Tips + Tricks, and a Moderators’ Corner. The Product Boards are where you can begin new topics with your questions or feedback; there is also a search option that helps you find topics that have already been posted by other neighbors.

All the best,

Hi NicholasR.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We understand how important it is for your Ring Video Doorbell Pro to function consistently and reliably. The features and technology provided by the Ring Video Doorbell Pro are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We want to ensure your device is working as intended by providing you with solutions to resolve the concern you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like your internal chime kit is triggering without someone pressing the doorbell button. The Ring Video Doorbell Pro requires a minimum of 16 volts AC to power the device. If your Video Doorbell Pro is not receiving enough power, your Ring Video Doorbell Pro will not ring your existing internal doorbell correctly.

We recommend following these steps to check your transformer's voltage:

Open the Ring app.
Tap the top menu (☰).
Tap Devices.
Select Video Doorbell Pro.
Tap the Device Health tile.
Under Power, you should see the transformer voltage status. Tap that section to reveal the voltage.
For Video Doorbell Pro to operate, the voltage needs to be listed as "good." If you are continuing to have issues, it may be the electrical wiring at your location. Older wires from your wall can deteriorate over time and may need to be replaced. Visit our support center for more troubleshooting steps.

Hi Kirk19.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having all relevant product information prior to purchasing. The features and technology provided by the Ring Wired Doorbell Plus are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the concern mentioned in your review.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. The Ring Wired Doorbell Plus is Ring’s ultra-slim design video doorbell with a variety of advanced features. The Ring Wired Doorbell Plus offers "Advanced Motion Detection," 1080p video, "Two-Way Talk" & "Quick Replies," "Color Night Vision" and "Alexa Greetings." With Ring’s advanced doorbell, you can check in on your front door anytime, from anywhere, and can see and speak to visitors at your door in real-time using your Ring app or Alexa-enabled device.

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: mechanical chime - has traditional short ding-dong sound digital chime - has longer, more melodic sound
*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. 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.

If your Ring Wired Doorbell Plus is not compatible with your existing in-home chime, we recommend using the Ring Chime with your Ring Video Doorbell Wired. When plugged into a standard wall socket, the Ring Chime produces an audio signal whenever you receive an alert from a Ring device for motion and doorbell announcements. Simply plug it in to a power outlet, set it up in the Ring app, and you'll be able to hear alerts from your Ring devices at home.

We invite you to reach out to our community if any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Wired Doorbell Plus. The Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another by sharing their feedback and experiences with each other.

Thank you,

Hi Warafa.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how important it is for your Ring Wired Doorbell Plus to function consistently and reliably, so you are alerted to any wanted or unwanted activity in or around your home. Being able to rely on the alerts to know when someone rings the doorbell is an essential feature of the Ring Wired Doorbell Plus. We are eager to address the issue you raised in your review and provide you with a resolution today.

It sounds like the device is not functioning as intended. Wired Doorbell Plus requires a minimum of 16 volts AC to power the device. If your Wired Doorbell Plus is not receiving enough power, you may see issues like this happen:

Regularly losing connection to your wifi network
Regularly shutting off (the white light on the front will turn off)
Freezing up during a live event
Not ringing your existing internal doorbell correctly
Night vision doesn't work
The device works fine for a couple of events and then stops working
Check your Transformer Voltage

We suggest that you follow these steps to troubleshoot the chime issue that you are experiencing:

Open the Ring app.
Tap the top menu (☰).
Tap Devices.
Select Wired Doorbell Plus.
Tap the Device Health tile.
Under Power, you should see the Transformer Voltage Status. Tap that section to reveal voltage.
For the Ring Wired Doorbell Plus to operate, the voltage needs to be listed as "Good". If you are continuing to have issues, it may be the electrical wiring at your location. Older wires from your wall can deteriorate over time and may need to be replaced.

For optimal performance, be sure that your Ring Pro Power Kit is properly installed. We have listed the installation instructions here for your review:

1. Turn off the circuit breaker for your internal doorbell.
2. Remove the cover from your internal doorbell.
3. Loosen the "Front" and "Trans" terminal screws on your internal doorbell.
4. Connect one wire from the Pro Power Kit to the “Front” terminal, and the other wire to the “Transformer” terminal, leaving the existing doorbell wires in place. Then, re-tighten the screws. It doesn't matter which Pro Power Kit wire goes to each terminal.
5. Position the Pro Power Kit within your internal doorbell, away from any moving parts. Use the adhesive on the back of the Pro Power Kit to fix it in place, if desired.
6. Replace the cover on your internal doorbell.
