Don't seem to have the same experiences here with my Doorbird installs.

I also don't connect chimes to these either but use the 3rd party integration for triggering WHA systems to play audio files for the doorbell. So don't have that problem yet.

I do have an install coming up where we do need to tie into the existing doorbell chime, so thanks for the heads up on that!! Is the part available in the online store or????
