Ring Video Doorbell
Wired Ring (Gen 2) with mechanical chime - ring in power cut?
I have installed my Ring (Gen 2) video door bell all fine. I have told the app there is a mechanical chime and the chime works when the button is pressed (it didn't before changing settings in app). However, if the mains is off, even though the Ring has a battery and the light shows blue, the Ring does not work. Shoudl the Ring work on battery, if there is no mains power? TIA.

Fully charged. And Bell works fine, rings, chime rings and live view works. Turn power off to simulate a power cut, and blue.ring is lit on unit, but nothing happens when button pressed. No ring on device, obviously no ring on chime, and no live view, even though router is on an UPS. Any thoughts?

Hi @DrNik. When you say "The Ring does not work", what is not working? Is it the Live View? Is it not chiming in the house? Does the Doorbell go completely offline? This Ring Video Doorbell Generation 2 is a battery powered device. Make sure than you've charged it to full capacity before wiring it, as the hardwiring only serves as a trickle charger to the Doorbell.
