![]() ![]() Energy consumption of DoorBird Chime is not that significant I haven’t investigated what exactly these are. However, if you enable and monitor the traffic, there are some tiny interactions between the Chime and Internet. This is just to prove, that the actual communication between Intercom and Chime is happening on the local network and not being routed through some cloud. So, if you intentionally block the communication (on a router) after successful setup, it will still work and properly announce not only the wired push button press but also all LAN calls from DoorBird Intercom. I haven’t tested all corner scenarios, but some of you might think, why the hell a doorbell needs an internet connection. In case the connection is not possible or not working, it says “no network” and the blue LED stays on indicating there is something not right. The first power-on sequence takes about minute or two, and then you hear confirmation gong and audible notification that “the device is successfully connected to internet”. Obviously, this IP Door Chime is an internet thing. There are around 53 different sounds to choose from and you can also set the number of repetitions (1 – 10) to be played. There you can turn on or off the status LED on ring, set the chime volume and choose your favorite sound for default ring (from paired Intercom) and other for the wired push button (storey call). All the configuration is done via the smartphone app. The LED can be configured to flash while ringing. ![]() Apart from the terminals on the back side, there is blue status LED on the bottom edge and a 102 dB loudspeaker on the front. There is not much other things to describe really. If you decide to choose wireless, please note this supports only 2.4 GHz, 802.11 b/g/n. You need to have DHCP enabled in your LAN in order to get the Chime work on LAN or WiFi.
