Why Isn’t Your Ring Doorbell Ringing Inside?
If your Ring Doorbell is not producing an internal chime, there might be a simple solution. However, understanding how your Doorbell is set up is crucial to troubleshooting this issue effectively.
1. Battery Powered Ring Doorbell
For those who own a 100% battery-powered Ring Doorbell, it’s worth noting that audio will only be available when the doorbell is rung outside of your home. However, rest assured that there is a solution to ensure you never miss a visitor inside your home.
To address the issue of your battery-powered Ring Doorbell not ringing inside, you have the option to purchase either a Ring Chime or a Ring Chime Pro. These devices will provide you with an internal chime, allowing you to hear the doorbell from anywhere within your home.
Investing in a Ring Chime or Ring Chime Pro will enhance your doorbell experience, ensuring you are always alerted when someone is at your door.
2. Hardwired Ring Doorbell
If your Ring Doorbell is hardwired instead of battery-powered, there may be several reasons why you’re unable to hear the ringing inside your home. According to Ring support, these reasons can include a worn-out transformer, improper wiring, incomplete setup in the Ring app, or a lack of Wi-Fi connection.
3. Internal Signal Problems
The Ring Doorbell and Ring Chime are wireless devices that require an internet signal through WiFi. If you encounter any communication issues, it may be due to problems with your router or internet service. To resolve this, ensure that your internet connection is functioning correctly and reset your router if necessary. You can use your smartphone, tablet, or another wireless device to verify the strength of your internet and WiFi signal. Once your internet and WiFi are working properly, the chime should ring.
4. Ring Doorbell Lacks Internal Chime
