incorrectly, the transformer and chime at home will be damaged, causing the doorbell and chime

metal with a metal striker, while digital chime refers to the ringing sound made by playing music

through a speaker.

If you are still not sure, please watch the chime type description video carefully, or consult our

customer service sta.

kit to the bypass interface, and then connect it in parallel to the existing chime. This will

short-circuit the chime at your home. You can choose to add WiFi chime,realize the function
