I have a Ring Security system and doorbell. Why can't the security base station also be the chime for the doorbell? The base station is capable of making chime and other noises, let it also be the doorbell chime. It's absolutely rediculous that I would need to purchase another Ring noisemaker.

Please allow the Ring Alarm base station to be used as a chime for the Ring Doorbell.

1000% agree. I doesn't make sense why this isn't available out of the box

I got some stick up cameras and I'm surprised this isn't possible. Motion alert chimes should sound through alarm base station and keypad.

I've had a ring doorbell for about a year, and just purchased the full security system - I thought it was a given that the doorbell chime would come through the base. Amazed that they haven't done this, it seems like it would be a very quick programming change. I've spent hundreds of $$ on this system, it's offputting that I need to spend yet more money to buy a Chime, when my base has a loud speaker in it already.

If you have an Alexa device pair it to ring via the Alecia app and it acts as doorbell chime. Many TVs, smart phones and tablets etc can also ring when the bell is pressed.

Agreed, can't understand why this has to be a request? Surely this is an obvious feature that should easily integrate.

This makes me feel taken advantage of as a customer. No reasonable person expects to have to purchase additional components to make the doorbell work like a doorbell. The base station already chimes when doors/windows open - I'm no engineer, but I'd wager that it would not be difficult for Ring to make the doorbell chime through the base station. What's worse is that you know they thought of this, but they decided not to do it, presumably so they could sell more chimes.

Just installed a ring alarm, and was astounded to find out the doorbell doesn't ring through the keypad or base station, but every other alert does... This is something ring needs to integrate.
