Wired doorbell is very warm

Question

I recently installed a wired Ring Doorbell Pro and the doorbell is very warm to the touch.  I have tried reinstalling it several times carefully following the directions and there is no change in the temperature.  Is this normal?

Hi @user18222. It's normal for your Doorbell Pro to be warm during operation, especially during the summer as the temperature outside is much warmer and this will affect how warm your Doorbell feels. You can read more about Ring devices and extreme temperatures in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046229812-Ring-Devices-and-Extreme-Temperatures-). If you ever have any safety concerns regarding the temperature of your Doorbell, you can follow up with our support team at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406). :)

I used a laser thermometer to measure the temperature on the center of the doorbell and it was 118 degrees.  Then I measured the wall next to the doorbell and it was 96 degrees.  That's a difference of 22 degrees.
