Chime - will it chime for contact sensors?

I have a ring system set up, but contact sensors (and home base) only (so far). Have not yet installed a doorbell, will be soon. My main purposes for needing the Ring system is we now have 3 levels of living space, and a young child. I wanted to be alerted when any exterior doors (or her bedroom door) are opened. This works fine when I am on the main floor and can hear the home base "chime". However, it is useless when I am sleeping (upstairs) or working (downstairs). So I bought a "chime" plug in accessory. Assumed it would connect to my home base, and would chime anytime the home base chimes. I cannot figure out how to get that to work? Will it work? HOW? or will it only chime when the doorbell or a motion sensor is activated?
