2 Doorbells and 2 chimes same sounds

chime

I purchased 2 ring2 doorbells and I put one on the front door with the other on the back door. I placed the chimes in two different locations. I'm trying to get the backdoor sounds the same on both chimes. And the front door sounds the same on both chimes. I'm not having any luck so far. I would like the chimes to let me know what door is ringing. Is this possible? Thank you Mark

    We just came across this same problem. We have 2 doorbells and 2 chimes, but cannot tell which doorbell is being pressed since the chime tones are identical. It's not a good option to require separate chimes since multiple chimes helps us hear the doorbell throughout the house

        Here is the solution I found: Don't use a Chime, Instead use an Echo speaker that is connected to the Ring with Alexa. It ca announce anything you want and by default it will announce "someone is at the front door" or "someone is at the back door". Works great, And they can be the same Echo speakers you use for music throughout the house. If music is playing it will be interrupted by the door announcement.

        Is it just me who thinks that, based on the replies received and the zero action from Ring to rectify what has already been confirmed as an easy fix, the reason they WON'T fix it is so that people buy more chimes...

      Ring — I’m with the other customers on this issue. Each door bell should have it’s own sound coming from a single chime. I have purchased three pro video door bells and they are all going back if there isn’t a work around for this. Please advise soonest. Disappointed in Bethesda.

        +1 on the need for this feature. BTW the Feature Request Page linked above doesn't load. Anyone from Ring care to respond? It has been over a year since the first post on this thread so an update would be appreciated. Are you working on this or not?

          Hi @Jason7. We don't have any updates to share on this specific request. We'll typically post about updates in the Ring Device Tips and How To's board, which you can find [here](https://community.ring.com/c/welcome-to-the-ring-community/ring-device-tips-and-how-tos/15). As for the Feature Request board, you can access it [here](https://community.ring.com/c/products/feature-request-board/24). The Community moved platforms in December, which is likely why the previous link doesn't work correctly. I hope this helps clear things up! :)

        Unbelievable that Ring doesn’t support different tones for front and back door. And even if ring programmers were so short sighted as not to think that would be useful, it is even more unbelievable that after it’s been raised so many times here you haven’t added the feature. It would be trivial to change the setup given the chime is capable of producing different tones and the rest of it is software.
