    Hi @user41115. Apart from your Doorbell being offline, is that battery in it also completely uncharged? If so, charge the battery and [reconnect it to your wifi](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034825092-How-to-Reconnect-Your-Ring-Video-Doorbell-or-Security-Camera-to-Wifi-or-Change-Your-Wifi-Network), then see if the chime starts working. Also, is your Doorbell consistently falling offline?

        Bell offline on the odd occasions like I had internet issues a few days ago and bell was offline and plug-in chime not working which is understandable but the mechanical one should still work. This is a firmware issue from ring as it use to work when off line in the past

        I have the exact same issue. Whenever the Wi-Fi disconnect the mechanical chime will stop working. Seems like a terrible design. Does anyone know how to prevent this?
