Chime

Chime volume and options are generally praised. The included chime or HomeBase speaker is described as loud, and some reviews note multiple ringtone choices and the ability to use Echo devices as additional chimes.

The included plug-in chime is repeatedly called loud and convenient, with adjustable volume and multiple tones, including on-device controls.

The included chime experience is generally positive via the HomeBase or bundled plug-in chime, though some wired versions do not ring an existing mechanical chime.

The chime is repeatedly described as loud and easy to customize (volume and tones). One demo highlights many selectable chime sounds and quick pairing.

An included chime adapter and whole-home chime options (including Ecobee devices and, in some setups, smart speakers) are frequently praised. A couple of reviewers mention the adapter can be bulky depending on your chime box.

The included indoor chime is frequently described as very loud and effective, with customization options like volume control and custom ringtones in the Aqara ecosystem. Multiple reviews note it is USB-powered and you may need to supply a wall adapter, and it does not replace a traditional mechanical chime for those who want that sound.

Chime options are flexible: you can use Ring Chime devices and Alexa/Echo speakers/displays for announcements, and wired chimes can work when hardwired in some setups.

The chime is loud, adjustable, and supports custom tones, and it doubles as a repeater and storage host. The main drawback is that the doorbell cannot ring an existing mechanical chime, so you must rely on the included chime or smart speakers.

Chime behavior is a strength: it can ring the existing chime and/or HomePods with audible announcements, but compatibility with older chimes varies and setup can take extra wiring.

Chime support is flexible: reviewers report compatibility with an existing wired chime (using included hardware) and the option to use Google/Nest speakers and displays for announcements, plus quiet-time style options in-app.

A plug-in chime is included and is described as loud and customizable, but Always On or 24/7 recording may require bypassing an existing mechanical chime.

The indoor chime is generally seen as useful (tones, volume controls, microSD slot), and some reviewers also use Echo devices as supplemental chimes. Minor friction shows up in configuration when too many chime endpoints ring until settings are tuned.

A plug-in indoor chime is included and can be loud with selectable tones/volume, but the system typically cannot use an existing mechanical chime and the module takes up an outlet.

The included Wi-Fi/digital chime is appreciated for volume and sound customization and for motion-based chimes, but reports differ on reliability and compatibility with existing in-home chimes.

Chime support is workable but fragmented: the doorbell may not include a dedicated chime, yet can use existing wired chimes, HomeBase devices, optional plug-in chimes, and Echo devices as in-home alerts. Some reviewers flagged weaker or less convenient Google Home speaker chime behavior compared with Alexa/Echo setups.

Chime options are broad (existing mechanical chime in some cases, HomeBase as a chime, plug-in chimes, Alexa, and phone alerts). The biggest caveat is a reported wiring tradeoff where enabling pre-roll/continuous features may prevent using the existing indoor chime simultaneously.

Chime support is widely discussed, including mechanical vs digital configurations and included chime adapters. Some installs required transformer upgrades or tuning to avoid unreliable ringing behavior, while others report it working fine once wired correctly.

Chime support is a major upgrade and can work with existing mechanical/digital chimes, but the included chime controller confuses some installs and may not fit neatly in certain chime boxes.

No chime is consistently included in the box; users rely on existing wired chimes, Ring Chime add-ons, or Alexa/Echo announcements.

When hardwired, it can trigger a traditional chime; in battery-only mode there is no standalone plug-in chime, so most users rely on phone alerts or Nest speakers/displays for announcements.

Chime behavior is flexible (in-home chime when wired, Ring Chime/Ring Chime Pro, and Alexa announcements), but several reviews point out extra cost if you need to add a chime or extender hardware.

An indoor chime is not typically included; users either wire into an existing chime or add an Arlo Chime 2 for indoor ringing.

There is no dedicated indoor chime in the box, so most setups rely on phone alerts, Echo announcements, a wired chime, or a Blink Mini as a workaround. Wired chime compatibility can be finicky in some homes.

No dedicated chime is included in the box. Reviews commonly point to wiring it to an existing chime or using Echo devices or a Blink Mini as the in-home ringer workaround.

A consistent theme is that it will not ring an existing mechanical chime. Most reviewers recommend using a Ring Chime, Chime Pro, or Alexa devices for indoor alerts, which adds cost but gives flexible placement.
