Ring alarm

[jacobc]

I have a Ring doorbell+camera. When someone rings the doorbell, it sends a notification to my phone through the app, but it doesn't actually make a doorbell noise. If I don't have my phone on me, I don't hear anything. Is this normal, or a bug? What do you need to do to make the Ring actually chime like a doorbell? Thanks a lot.

Tap spoke on right of your front door camera, verify all is good in your device health, then fine tune in device settings.

I have an extra device Ring sells that plugs into the wall and it has a chime that goes off in the house whenever the motion sensor is tripped. Also when I installed my outdoor unit I was replacing an old wired door bell. I connected those two wires and they provide power to keep the unit charged. Along with charging the unit they also ring the old doorbell. I normally hear the motion one first and if it is a delivery the door bell wont ring as they don’t push the button. When I hear the button I know someone is standing there and I take a look on my phone to see who it is.



I think the extra chime unit is great to have.

I too have the auxiliary Ring chime. I agree, it makes the system work better.

Thank you all very much. Solved. I think the main issue was actually my app needed updated. In the updated app, I can set the doorbell to ring the chime, notify the phone, or both, and everything works as it should.
