Great video, truly helped me set-up in 30 minutes, and I'm almost 60 yrs old. The one thing I noticed is if you set-it up with Alexa (Echo Dot), it will ring through the Eco Dot, you hear a chime on the Eco Dot, so I didn't need to buy the ringer for it. Thank you once again.

I did it in 15 min and I’m 70. Rings through my Ring control box and Ring apps on iDevices. I had an older SECŪR360 installed last, which changed all the original wiring. I ended just connecting the transformer output to the doorbell wires directly. No ding-dong yet on my Echo Dot gen 2, but I have a newer Echo coming. Now we need an 80 year old to do it in 10!
