Ring Chime Pro, white

I had a pair of the 1st Gen chime pro’s with the two aerials on that worked well, but I have a few ring products, one pro bell, one floodlight cam, one internal cam and one stickup pro cam, three chimes, 2 are pro’s and the complete ring house alarm setup, I also I have 4 Alexas and various smart bulbs, plugs and other tech that all use the 2.4g band and it was all getting a bit crowded, so these new chime pros that replaced the Gen 1’s also use not only the 2.4G but also the 5G that really help with the network sharing on my bandwidth, as they setup and switch to whatever is needed automatically, so you don’t need to select what one you wish to use, I don’t know if you can set your preference but it automatically doing it is far better anyway. They really do seem to extend my range better than the older Gen 1’s (although they are still good) with a nice stable connection. I also very much like the nightlight feature that works perfectly, I have one in the kitchen to help help extend the range of my rear floodlight cam, that lights up only when it’s dark, if it’s getting dark and I go to make a cup of tea and walk near making it briefly darker it automatically switches night light on, if I walk away it again automatically switches off, again the second pro is in my porch extending my door bell pro range, again that nice nightlight feature helps when my timed porch lights go off saving to even ask Alexa to turn on and off the porch light, as there is plenty of enough light to see briefly when getting stuff out of our freezer or tumble dryer that also sit in the porch, I find the light to have a slight yellow appearance rather than a bright white light that hurts my eyes, it would be to bright for say a bedroom possibly but fine in my opinion anywhere else, that said you do have the ability to turn the light feature off in the settings so in that sense it can be used anywhere. Connection was a breeze so simple to do, you don’t need to use the QR code on the unit as you can’t see it on the unit until you unplug it and look behind, but there is a second one on the box or instructions relating to just that ring, porch one setup first time no problem, second one setup on second attempt but was still so easy to follow the instructions and voice prompts from the ring itself, so for the second time I simply moved my phone that I was setting up the kitchen pro with to the midway position between my living room (where router is) and kitchen, then it went straight through, if you find you have problems setting them up in position you could just plug them or any ring tech in the same room as your wireless router, then once setup simply unplug and then move them to your desired location and let them boot up, I did not need to do that but seems the logical easy solution if people are having setup problems, I have never had a rage issue with any of my ring products once they are all setup, I found setting up my bell indoors first way easier than running back and forth pressing buttons and taking off and on the cover etc. So had these a few weeks now and I can say I am completely happy with them and would recommend highly! The only one feature I would like Ring to add is the ability to have separate volume levels for the bell and motion notifications, I would like the bell level on full so as not to miss a call, I like the motion detection zones and sounds but would love to have that volume way lower, no matter what volume you set either bell or notification they affect each other, you turn one down and they are both down, or both up, that said maybe another feature Ring could add would be if the chimes also sounded when the ring alarm went off, wouldn’t hurt to have more sirens all over the house going off at once even if ring say that the base and keypad levels are sufficient DB levels to be heard anyway. The chimes work well with a nice selection to choose from, so all in all a very good unit.

This chime acts as both a Wi-Fi booster, a night light and a doorbell sounder. Simple to use. Power it up in the socket that you want it to stay in, press the pairing button and it shows up immediately in the Ring app. The volume has several volume settings and is loud enough to be heard int eh average size house. The night light can be switched on/off by using the Ring app and is really useful for lighting stairwells or corridors if you are unsure of your footing. It gives real piece of mind for children or the elderly. If the power fails it resets itself so no messing around with re-connection. Solidly built and should last aa long time. Happy to recommend.

My review focus on its ability to improve the doorbell signal as that is why i purchased the priduct, in that respect it only worked as a very short range wifi improver for me. Using the doorbells signal strength I got a massive improvement in signal compared to my standard WiFi router but only if it was placed directly on the inside of the wall that the doorbell is on. As soon as it was any further away this improvement reduced within 2m to being the same as standard wifi. Placing it the room on the floor above the doorbell gave poor results so I suspect the aerial inside is set up for horizontal signals. If you have a socket directly the other side of the wall to your doorbell then this will work great, unfortunately I don't have that so I had to return it. The packaging states this is a signal extender which I think should read very short range signal improver.

INITIAL EXPERIENCE THEN 2 UPDATES - Having experienced loss of Wi-fi signal in the last few weeks for some unknown reason and previously putting off getting a chime. I opted to buy the Wi-fi extender with door bell chime , bonus! (some people might think this is a con buying an extra device to make your doorbell make a noise but I had money to throw away like everyone else) Having read all the negative reviews about the Wi-fi extender being hopeless I decided to buy one anyway, I often staple my ears to the table or run around the house with scissors just to prove I can’t take advice. The extender comes in a lovely box which looks and feels the part of something you would buy to make your doorbell make a noise. The instructions are simple. Plug it in switch it on scan the barcode the thing flashes it connects to your Wi-fi and Bob’s your uncle your doorbell can now let you know someone is at your door, an unusual concept. Takes a while to work out, I expect as most people are just used to convenient plug and play devices. I tried resetting it, plugging this in that in , flashy blue light not green, nightlight on off on off , blue green bla bla, unable to join network bla bla I’m now happy i wasted a lot of money and time comfortable that technology has once again gained the upper hand in destroying all hope for mankind. As I write this it’s plugged into the wall in front of me, flashing away telling the toaster they are winning. At some point I will probably contact customer services just so I can revel in the whole experience , pressing buttons and being put on hold. Hopefully I will be transferred a few times and after 20 minutes get cut off. Things were so much simpler before! UPDATE 15/06/21 Having spent the night mulling over the fate of Sarah Connor I duly persevered with this device. I deleted the chime pro in the app and started again. After a number of failed attempts I managed to link doorbell to the chime. As it stands the doorbell now has a signal. The chime is installed 2 meters from the door and about 9 meters from the router. Have given this 3 stars now and Will see how the signal is after a spell . UPDATE 20/07/21 Since I stuck at it and managed to get it working the signal has not dropped out and the chime works. The crux is getting them linked. Good luck and don’t let them win.

Artikel macht was er soll fängt WLAN Signal vom Router auf und gibt ihn verstärkt wieder ab. Zumindest sehr hilfreich wenn die Ring Kamera weiter weg vom normalen Router steht!!!!! Sehr schöne 30 Klingeltöne dabei!!! Nur ab und zu verliert er das WLAN Signal. Und dann zeigt es nichts mehr an.!! Hält sich aber in Grenzen. Einrichtung war sehr leicht ging alles fast von selbst!!!! Abend Lampe kann man über die App steuern an u. Aus schalten. Dank Amazon Super schnelle Lieferung Top...!!! Nachtrag zur Bewertung: Seit den neuen Update hält der WLAN Verstärker das Signal stabil und die Verbindung bleibt dauerhaft mit der Ring außen Kamera verbunden und stabil!!

J’ai acheté ce Chime Pro en même temps qu’une sonnette Ring dernière génération afin de m’assurer que la connectivité entre la sonnette et mon routeur soit possible, bien qu’il n’y ait que 15m de distance entre les deux. Malgré le placement du Chime Pro à mi-distance, aucun résultat, aucune connectivité possible : la présence du portail bloque complètement la transmission. Cependant, je pense que le Chime Pro n’est pas à blâmer : c’est un article de qualité, très bien fini, dont l’installation est parfaitement fluide et facilitée. Le seule problème dans ma situation est la présence du portail, car en plaçant la sonnette a quelques centimètres mais de l’autre côté du portail, la connexion est parfaite. En conclusion, l’article rempli son rôle d’amplificateur wifi, mais est inutile lorsqu’il s’agit de surmonter un obstacle. Je laisse tout de même 5 étoiles car l’article les mérite, bien qu’il ne soit pas adapté à l’utilisation que j’ai voulu en faire, et pour le fait qu’Amazon ait accepté de me reprendre les deux articles et m’a remboursé la totalité de ma commande avant même que je n’ai pu leur renvoyer. Comme d’habitude, l’excellence du service client est remarquable.

Goede ring bel, geeft aanbellen in huis. Ook bellen als je niet thuis bent en je huisgenoot is thuis, kan et toch worden open gedaan

Premesso che mi trovo bene con il sistema di allarme Ring, ma con le telecamere stavo avendo problemi di connessione pur essendo montate a 4 metri dal router. Con questo ho risulto tutto i problemi di streaming, appena clicco su LIVE parte immediatamente su tutte le telecamere. Vale la spesa

adorei o produto. trabalha bem e chegou como estava descrito
