The product how to page states No:
Ive skimmed through many community pages with conflicting info as well. Here are a couple:
Which one is it?

Hi @user72785. The manual (US) for the Doorbell 2nd Generation is correct. You do need a resistor when hardwiring it directly to a transformer. The Help Center pages that you are referring to are for the UK.
