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.
