Ring Chime Pro
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The main reason I purchased the Ring Chime was to boost the WiFi signal to my outdoor Ring Cam... it did exactly that! I kept losing the WiFi connection to the cam, and this Ring Chime fixed that issue completely. I actually mounted it in the garage ceiling outlet, above the garage door opener unit.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "Our ring door bell has been problematic since day one. When a delivery person stops in front of house, the ring detects it, by the time you have opened the app on your phone and see the image, he is usually back in his truck. The idea you will actually communicate with the driver is unrealistic. We also can't get a live image on our TV using the alexa app. We thought some of the issues would be related to a relatively weak signal as per device app. We tried the ring chime pro in several locations it didn't improvement the signal strength. We can see event history and get neighborhood alerts, but basically I have an expensive door bell button."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "It has a lot of promise.. Key issues:\n\n1. Nightlight does NOT turn off during the day even thought it's supposed to. LOTS of people complaining about it, it's not just me - google it.. I've reloaded it, recycled it, etc. No change. Nightlight stays on 24x7. if I turn it off via app, it turns off, but that defeats the purpose of an automatic light sensor.\n\n2. It periodically starts reporting it has no wifi connectivity, yet my front door (which is connected to it), works perfectly fine. The whole point of me buying this model was to use it as a range extender for my Ring on the front door."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Well, I thought this would be an improved product but it is not. My ring doorbell 2 had poor wifi from a 300$ access point less than 20' away so bought the last generation chime pro and could never get anything Beyer than -69 signal. So bought the Ring 3 and new chime pro to change to the different band. Worse signal than the 2. To my home wifi 20' away, -78 rssi and poor connection. To chime pro 10' away -72 rssi. The only way to improve the Ring 3 was to run a extension cord to put it 3' from the doorbell."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'There is a lot of lag when you\'re trying to configure the device. It seems to take forever for setting changes to take effect. In the app you can\'t preview all the chime sounds either, and if the phone falls asleep while you\'re waiting for the Chime to update, when you unlock the phone you get a garbled screen with overlapping options.\n\nThe Chime isn\'t super loud and there\'s considerable delay between button press on my hardwired Ring Doorbell Pro; enough delay that the Chime Pro rings right AFTER my phone dings at me.\n\nThe device itself is very wide, and covers parts of the neighboring outlets when installed in a 2-gang box. The plug on the back can\'t be rotated or un-clipped and re-clipped so if your outlets are installed per NEC recommendations with the ground plug on top, you will end up with an upside-down chime. This is mainly an issue because the bottom of the unit isn\'t as well assembled as the top, and now I have a super bright, non-dimmable, upward-facing night light. I also didn\'t see a way for the night light to only come on at night, so I just disabled it entirely.\n\nAs a range-extender i guess it\'s functionally fine. I don\'t really need a range extended though, I have a really good and fast WiFi network set up in our home for IOT devices. I probably could have bought the older Chime model but I thought there would be some enhancements given that they were calling this one a "Pro."'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "The new Chime looks much nicer than the original, which while functional, looked cheap. A bit of a shame it doesn't come with changeable color faceplates like the doorbell. Installation and set up are simple and straightforward. Also, there are less chime tone options than the original - the seasonal ones are missing, but maybe they'll add them as those holidays approach. If those seasonal tones are added, the app should have the ability to schedule tone changes. Also, the nightlight feature also needs to be on a schedule or timer rather than a manual switch, which seems a pointless thing to have in software when there isn't a hardware switch. Hopefully these will be added soon - only thing keeping this from a five star review"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I was under the impression that this device would allow for better WiFi coverage for my door and window sensors as I have a very large house and my router is on the other side of the house AND, as well, make a noise when one of these sensors were triggered by a door or window being opened. I really wanted this to allow me to hear when one of my doors or windows with a Ring sensor connected to them were opened so that I didn’t have to buy another keypad or listen for the base station. This is not the case. The base station and the keypads do make a chime and an alarm when a sensor is triggered (a window or door being opened) but, this Ring Pro Chime is solely for the other devices which stinks. It is easy to setup and the night light is cool, but unless you have the other devices, it is pretty much useless for my needs.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "i decided to purchase the chime pro so I could have something for my ring camera's AND THAT ONLY. Unfortunately, the set-up was a bit much. once up and going... My RSSI signals got a little worse. (from -57 t0 -62) and the chime pro was even closer than my old Netgear N300 Extender. Since everyone is Stuck at home for while, the home network is being pushed to its current limits. Here's my current set-up Cable Modem/Router(Netgear Nighthawk AX4 C7800) And 2 Netgear N300 wifi Extenders Plus the new chime Pro. A total of 7 ring devices over 20something wifi connected devices dvd, smart tvs, sat. boxes, cells etc.... i have New Netgear Mesh Extender on the way(up to 45 Devices) it claims. we'll see how it goes then!! I would recommend another device for your ring set-up just not this one."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "We installed a Ring Doorbell and was extremely disappointed that the signal level was so low. It resulted in an intermittent connection and poor quality (lots of stuttering and freezing). The ring is only about 20' from my WiFi router but is shooting through about 4 walls of lath and plaster. I ordered the Ring Chime Pro and plugged it in to an outlet just inside the front door. It connected via the app without a hitch. It made all the difference in signal quality and all connection/performance issues disappeared. I am very pleased with the results."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I had the original ring chime it was bulkier and harder to set up. The new ring chime was very simple to set up it’s very thin and more elegant. It does have easier connection, much louder sound, one unique new feature on this chime is an option of a night light for your chime! “See photos”'}]
