2nd Generation Doorbell wiring yes or no resistor

Seen conflicting info. Simply put - do I need a resistor on 2nd gen doorbell (basic not pro or anything)? I have no original doorbell - I've wired a transformer to a plug and was intending to go straight to doorbell? 8v-24v.

      Thanks Tom\_Ring - that's the standard install info but how come other Ring community managers are posting info that differs? Should you correct these posts as they are misleading or are you unaware of this information?

      Hi Chelsea - apologies I just copied the article link before - here's the community chat. Ring\_Marley seems to clarify with Michael towards the end it's ok with no resistor on Gen 2 standard doorbell - this was only 22-09-20 so assume its relevant info? Sorry to be a pain but you can see why it's confusing!
