Setting up audio alerts on Chime and Chime Pro

Get notified via your Chime or Chime Pro when events happen on Ring devices at the same location.

Chime Alerts are only available for devices at the same location.
Previously, Chime and Chime Pro devices could play sounds across multiple Ring device addresses. We've since improved this feature to give you more relevant Chime Alerts in the same location where motion or ring events occur.
