My 50 year old "dumb" doorbell doesn't need to be recharged. More proof that "smart" technology isn't actually smarter and isn't actually making our lives easier.

If they had a 50 year old doorbell they could replace it with a better version of the pictured one that is powered by the old doorbell circuit.

My Ring doorbell like this does connect to my existing power supply for a 'dumb' doorbell. This version shown is a wireless model aimed more at apartments which don't have existing wiring or for a tenant who wants a removable version to take when they move.

I am not not associated with Ring, just a customer.

A doorbell like this requires recharging because it is wireless.

Meaning you don’t need to drill holes, just connect it to your WiFi.

Maybe screw the holder into something (or just command strip it to your door).

It removes to recharge.

Other smart door bells connect to existing power, and don’t need recharging.

I'm not sure you know what proof is

A dumb doorbell won't let me talk to or see anything from the third floor which makes it much easier to tell Jehovah's witnesses to fuck off.
