Nutone LA600WH digital chime issue
The Nutone LA600WH is on the compatibility list. It kinda works. It plays the first few seconds of the chime. Unfortunately, it cuts off before the chime completes. What can I do to make the Ring's chime power module provide power longer? Is there another module I can replace it with that will provide power longer? Can I hack it to provide power longer? I'm even open to a schematic that I have to solder together myself.

Nope. Here is what I have heard on other forums. The dongle basically bypasses the chime, delivering power to the camera. The camera turns off this bypass for a period of time to allow power to the chime. During this time, the camera does not get power. The camera has capacitors that provide power during this few seconds of outage. It's the reason they can't just extend the time through a firware change. It is likely possible to hack the dongle to include capacitors that supply power for longer when powering the chime. But I don't have that level of electrical knowledge.

I have the same model of Nutone Doorbell. Did you remember to put the diode on the ring with the silver strip facing the transformer line? Mine is haveing a different issue in that while it seemed to work in playing the mp3 in the doorbell, it was going through a continous loop of it while I thought the capacitors in the power kit were charging. Now I get absolutely nothing and I don't know why.

MThe Ring Pro does not require the diode. Works fine, it just plays the first 5 seconds and then there's no more power to the chime.

Does anyone by chance have any kind of step by step instructions on how to connect the Ring Video Doorbell 2020 Release to a NuTone LA600WH. I've tried everything I could find searching online. I added the diode to the back side of the Ring and have constant power supplied to the NuTone. I've gone through the setup on the Ring app and tried all 3 options (mech, digital 1, & 2) with no success. I took out all the jumper on the NuTone as was suggested by other post. I've deleted the Ring from the app and added it back in as a new device going through the setup. I purchased the recommended transformer. The Ring works perfectly with all my Alexa devices in the house to notify me that someone is at the door but the NuTone just won't play. I do have a second ordinary doorbell button at another door it is not needed so I guess I can just eliminate the wires to that one to see if it is interfering with the signal. If that doesn't work then I'm at a dead end. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue with my "supposed" compatible Nutone LAH600 electronic chime. I have even replaced my transformer with a recommended one even though I had just replaced it 6months ago. No joy. So I take it from the replies you really didn't get any help yet?
