Although this review and 1 star rating is for the ring chime pro i ll provide a bit of context which includes why we bought this product.
Chime pro ring review.
There s the chime pro and the new chime pro.
The optional 29 ring chime or 49 ring chime pro can take care of that ring pro comes with four faceplates and you could always paint one to match your house exactly.
Trust me it will not take you more than 30 minutes to set up the ring chime.
Ring has cranked the volume to 11 with this new chime so that you ve got a much better chance of hearing it at max volume.
New ring chime pro is an optional add on device for your ring video doorbell.
And if you would rather pair multiple ring chime units to one ring video doorbell it is also feasible.
Ring s original chime pro kind of stuck out like a sore thumb.
Something happened after month 1 and it hangs up and shows a black screen.
I tried several outlets in various places between the router and the doorbell mostly with the same results.

When the doorbell did work the first month we had it it was excellent 5 stars.
It is easy to setup and the night light is cool but unless you have the other devices it is pretty much useless for my needs.
It is also possible to pair the doorbell to any number of ring video doorbells.
Pros of the doorbell.
When you pull off the cardboard the main box is just a plain black package with the company s logo featured on the lid.
Top on the list is an easy installation.
Maybe bringing the speeds up to 25 30mbps down.
The ring pro doorbell doesn t work.
The chime pro from ring comes in a small yet sturdy box.
It looked like a radio wave box with bulky antennas facing up from both sides.
Its sides are concealed with a piece of sturdy cardboard that features the chime pro s image its main features as well as extra information about the device.
The second great thing they ve done with the chime pro is to make it double as a wi fi extender.
Gearbrain provides in depth review of ring s new ring chime pro a wi fi extender and chime for your ring video doorbell.
The base station and the keypads do make a chime and an alarm when a sensor is triggered a window or door being opened but this ring pro chime is solely for the other devices which stinks.
The ring doorbell only works on the 2 4ghz wi fi band and its wi fi reception is poor.
Its easy to setup and use.
So i connected the ring chime pro and it worked but it really didn t help much at all.
It was less homey and more mechanical engineering.
