Mechanical chime
If you would like to have the Wemo Doorbell ring a chime in your home, you will need to make sure it is a mechanical chime.  The Wemo Doorbell will not work with electronic chimes.

If you have an electronic chime or do not want to use a chime at all, you can use the chime bypass connector.

Chime bypass
The chime bypass is a connector used for bypassing the mechanical chime in your doorbell system.  It is mainly used for users with versions of iOS 13 or lower who want to disable the doorbell chime from ringing.  Newer versions of iOS allow you to enable/disable the doorbell chime directly in the Home app.
