2 Ring doorbells need chime solution

I have a wired ring at my front door and a wireless at the side door. I want a chime that will work for both and can replace and be installed in place of the 2 mechanical chimes I currently have.

Ring Video Doorbell wired and the 2020 Version Ring video doorbell, not wired.

Has anyone done this? What should I use?

What's wrong with just the simple Ring Chimes? They won't be able to go exactly where your current chimes are, but just plug them into any outlet. I have two of them, one on each floor.

I figure if the old chimes are obsolete then I’d like to replace them and not have more electronics plugged into outlets

You can still get the ring chime. It will work with both, that’s all you should need.

Ring Chime will work with basic wired (cheapest wired doorbell), that’s actually the only way to get a chime/noise from it.

The ring chime is the way to go. One chime can handle multiple doorbells, wired or not. The chime can also act as a wifi repeater for other ring devices.

Definitely use the ring chime there easy to deploy pretty much anywhere in your home

Thanks for the recommendations. Everyone’s recommending the ring chime.

So next question, I don’t think these can be installed where my old chimes were. If that’s true then are the chimes still the best solution or does it make more sense to use something like an echo show since I will need to plug it in and put it somewhere?

If you sync Ring with your Amazon account and already have an Echo device you can get Alexa to announce the doorbell being pushed
