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.

Ring s original chime pro kind of stuck out like a sore thumb. There s the chime pro and the new chime pro. It looked like a radio wave box with bulky antennas facing up from both sides. 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.

Its easy to setup and use. 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. So i connected the ring chime pro and it worked but it really didn t help much at all. 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.

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. I tried several outlets in various places between the router and the doorbell mostly with the same results. The chime pro from ring comes in a small yet sturdy box.
